This Chapter Verse Commentaries:



Gen_37:27 Come, and let us sell him to the Ishmeelites, and let not our hand be upon him; for he [is] our brother [and] our flesh. And his brethren were content.

Ver. 27. For he is our brother, and our flesh.] This consideration should be, as the angel’s call to Abraham, to stay our hand from striking another; (1.) That he is our brother, in respect of God; for "have we not all one father? hath not one God created us?" {Mal_2:10} (2.) That he is "our flesh," in regard of our first parents. {Act_17:26 Isa_58:7}
