This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Gen 47:1-31. Joseph’s presentation at court.
Joseph ... told Pharaoh, My father and my brethren - Joseph furnishes a beautiful example of a man who could bear equally well the extremes of prosperity and adversity. High as he was, he did not forget that he had a superior. Dearly as he loved his father and anxiously as he desired to provide for the whole family, he would not go into the arrangements he had planned for their stay in Goshen until he had obtained the sanction of his royal master.
