■ 창세기 47장
1. 요셉이 바로에게 가서 고하여 가로되 나의 아비와 형들과 그들의 양과 소와 모든 소유가 가나안 땅에서 와서 고센 땅에 있나이다 하고
Then Joseph came and told Pharaoh , and said , My father and my brethren , and their flocks , and their herds , and all that they have, are come out of the land of Canaan ; and, behold, they are in the land of Goshen .
2. 형들 중 오인을 택하여 바로에게 보이니
And he took some of his brethren , even five men , and presented them unto Pharaoh .
3. 바로가 요셉의 형들에게 묻되 너희 생업이 무엇이냐 그들이 바로에게 대답하되 종들은 목자이온데 우리와 선조가 다 그러하니이다 하고
And Pharaoh said unto his brethren , What is your occupation ? And they said unto Pharaoh , Thy servants are shepherds , both we, and also our fathers .
4. 그들이 또 바로에게 고하되 가나안 땅에 기근이 심하여 종들의 떼를 칠 곳이 없기로 종들이 이곳에 우거하러 왔사오니 청컨대 종들로 고센 땅에 거하게 하소서
They said moreover unto Pharaoh , For to sojourn in the land are we come ; for thy servants have no pasture for their flocks ; for the famine is sore in the land of Canaan : now therefore, we pray thee, let thy servants dwell in the land of Goshen .
5. 바로가 요셉에게 일러 가로되 네 아비와 형들이 네게 왔은즉
And Pharaoh spake unto Joseph , saying , Thy father and thy brethren are come unto thee:
6. 애굽 땅이 네 앞에 있으니 땅의 좋은 곳에 네 아비와 형들로 거하게 하되 고센 땅에 그들로 거하게 하고 그들 중에 능한 자가 있는줄 알거든 그들로 나의 짐승을 주관하게 하라
The land of Egypt is before thee ; in the best of the land make thy father and brethren to dwell ; in the land of Goshen let them dwell : and if thou knowest any men of activity among them, then make them rulers over my cattle .
7. 요셉이 자기 아비 야곱을 인도하여 바로 앞에 서게 하니 야곱이 바로에게 축복하매
And Joseph brought in Jacob his father , and set him before Pharaoh : and Jacob blessed Pharaoh .
8. 바로가 야곱에게 묻되 네 연세가 얼마뇨
And Pharaoh said unto Jacob , How old art thou?
9. 야곱이 바로에게 고하되 내 나그네 길의 세월이 일백삼십 년이니이다 나의 연세가 얼마 못되니 우리 조상의 나그네 길의 세월에 미치지 못하나 험악한 세월을 보내었나이다 하고
And Jacob said unto Pharaoh , The days of the years of my pilgrimage are an hundred and thirty years : few and evil have the days of the years of my life been, and have not attained unto the days of the years of the life of my fathers in the days of their pilgrimage .
10. 야곱이 바로에게 축복하고 그 앞에서 나오니라
And Jacob blessed Pharaoh , and went out from before Pharaoh .
11. 요셉이 바로의 명대로 그 아비와 형들에게 거할 곳을 주되 애굽의 좋은 땅 라암세스를 그들에게 주어 기업을 삼게 하고
And Joseph placed his father and his brethren , and gave them a possession in the land of Egypt , in the best of the land , in the land of Rameses , as Pharaoh had commanded .
12. 또 그 아비와 형들과 아비의 온 집에 그 식구를 따라 식물을 주어 공궤하였더라
And Joseph nourished his father , and his brethren , and all his father’s household , with bread , according to their families .
13. 기근이 더욱 심하여 사방에 식물이 없고 애굽 땅과 가나안 땅이 기근으로 쇠약하니
And there was no bread in all the land ; for the famine was very sore , so that the land of Egypt and all the land of Canaan fainted by reason of the famine .
14. 요셉이 곡식을 팔아 애굽 땅과 가나안 땅에 있는 돈을 몰수이 거두고 그 돈을 바로의 궁으로 가져오니
And Joseph gathered up all the money that was found in the land of Egypt , and in the land of Canaan , for the corn which they bought : and Joseph brought the money into Pharaoh’s house .
15. 애굽 땅과 가나안 땅에 돈이 진한지라 애굽 백성이 다 요셉에게 와서 가로되 돈이 진하였사오니 우리에게 식물을 주소서 어찌 주 앞에서 죽으리이까
And when money failed in the land of Egypt , and in the land of Canaan , all the Egyptians came unto Joseph , and said , Give us bread : for why should we die in thy presence? for the money faileth .
16. 요셉이 가로되 너희의 짐승을 내라 돈이 진하였은즉 내가 너희의 짐승과 바꾸어 주리라
And Joseph said , Give your cattle ; and I will give you for your cattle , if money fail .
17. 그들이 그 짐승을 요셉에게 끌어 오는지라 요셉이 그 말과 양떼와 소떼와 나귀를 받고 그들에게 식물을 주되 곧 그 모든 짐승과 바꾸어서 그 해 동안에 식물로 그들을 기르니라
And they brought their cattle unto Joseph : and Joseph gave them bread in exchange for horses , and for the flocks , and for the cattle of the herds , and for the asses : and he fed them with bread for all their cattle for that year .
18. 그 해가 다하고 새 해가 되매 무리가 요셉에게 와서 그에게 고하되 우리가 주께 숨기지 아니하나이다 우리의 돈이 다하였고 우리의 짐승 떼가 주께로 돌아갔사오니 주께 낼 것이 아무 것도 남지 아니하고 우리의 몸과 전지뿐이라
When that year was ended , they came unto him the second year , and said unto him, We will not hide it from my lord , how that our money is spent ; my lord also hath our herds of cattle ; there is not ought left in the sight of my lord , but our bodies , and our lands :
19. 우리가 어찌 우리의 전지와 함께 주의 목전에 죽으리이까 우리 몸과 우리 토지를 식물로 사소서 우리가 토지와 함께 바로의 종이 되리니 우리에게 종자를 주시면 우리가 살고 죽지 아니하고 전지도 황폐치 아니하리이다
Wherefore shall we die before thine eyes , both we and our land ? buy us and our land for bread , and we and our land will be servants unto Pharaoh : and give us seed , that we may live , and not die , that the land be not desolate .
20. 그러므로 요셉이 애굽 전지를 다 사서 바로에게 드리니 애굽 사람이 기근에 몰려서 각기 전지를 팖이라 땅이 바로의 소유가 되니라
And Joseph bought all the land of Egypt for Pharaoh ; for the Egyptians sold every man his field , because the famine prevailed over them: so the land became Pharaoh’s .
21. 요셉이 애굽 이 끝에서 저 끝까지의 백성을 성읍들에 옮겼으나
And as for the people , he removed them to cities from one end of the borders of Egypt even to the other end thereof.
22. 제사장의 전지는 사지 아니하였으니 제사장은 바로에게서 녹을 받음이라 바로의 주는 녹을 먹으므로 그 전지를 팔지 않음이었더라
Only the land of the priests bought he not; for the priests had a portion assigned them of Pharaoh , and did eat their portion which Pharaoh gave them: wherefore they sold not their lands .
23. 요셉이 백성에게 이르되 오늘날 내가 바로를 위하여 너희 몸과 너희 전지를 샀노라 여기 종자가 있으니 너희는 그 땅에 뿌리라
Then Joseph said unto the people , Behold, I have bought you this day and your land for Pharaoh : lo , here is seed for you, and ye shall sow the land .
24. 추수의 오분 일을 바로에게 상납하고 사분은 너희가 취하여 전지의 종자도 삼고 너희의 양식도 삼고 너희 집 사람과 어린 아이의 양식도 삼으라
And it shall come to pass in the increase , that ye shall give the fifth part unto Pharaoh , and four parts shall be your own, for seed of the field , and for your food , and for them of your households , and for food for your little ones .
25. 그들이 가로되 주께서 우리를 살리셨사오니 우리가 주께 은혜를 입고 바로의 종이 되겠나이다
And they said , Thou hast saved our lives : let us find grace in the sight of my lord , and we will be Pharaoh’s servants .
26. 요셉이 애굽 토지법을 세우매 그 오분 일이 바로에게 상납되나 제사장의 토지는 바로의 소유가 되지 아니하여 오늘까지 이르니라
And Joseph made it a law over the land of Egypt unto this day , that Pharaoh should have the fifth part; except the land of the priests only, which became not Pharaoh’s .
27. 이스라엘 족속이 애굽 고센 땅에 거하며 거기서 산업을 얻고 생육하며 번성하였더라
And Israel dwelt in the land of Egypt , in the country of Goshen ; and they had possessions therein, and grew , and multiplied exceedingly .
28. 야곱이 애굽 땅에 십칠 년을 거하였으니 그의 수가 일백사십칠 세라
And Jacob lived in the land of Egypt seventeen years : so the whole age of Jacob was an hundred forty and seven years .
29. 이스라엘의 죽을 기한이 가까우매 그가 그 아들 요셉을 불러 그에게 이르되 이제 내가 네게 은혜를 입었거든 청하노니 네 손을 내 환도뼈 아래 넣어서 나를 인애와 성심으로 대접하여 애굽에 장사하지 않기를 맹세하고
And the time drew nigh that Israel must die : and he called his son Joseph , and said unto him, If now I have found grace in thy sight , put , I pray thee, thy hand under my thigh , and deal kindly and truly with me; bury me not, I pray thee, in Egypt :
30. 내가 조상들과 함께 눕거든 너는 나를 애굽에서 메어다가 선영에 장사하라 요셉이 가로되 내가 아버지의 말씀대로 행하리이다
But I will lie with my fathers , and thou shalt carry me out of Egypt , and bury me in their buryingplace . And he said , I will do as thou hast said .
31. 야곱이 또 가로되 내게 맹세하라 맹세하니 이스라엘이 침상 머리에서 경배하니라
And he said , Swear unto me. And he sware unto him. And Israel bowed himself upon the bed’s head .

【창47:1 JFB】창47:1-31. Joseph's Presentation at Court.
1. 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.
【창47:1 CWC】[JOSEPH'S HISTORY]
The general familiarity with these chapters warrants the grouping of them in one lesson, especially as there is little requiring explanation within our present scope.
1. Loved and Hated, 37.
It may seem foolish for Joseph to have made known his dreams to his brethren, and thus increase their enmity against him, but we should consider God's purpose in the matter, whether Joseph understood it or not. In the outcome it was important that they should know these dreams, which were really prophecies, in advance of their fulfillment for the sake of the moral effect upon them.
In this chapter it will be seen that the merchantmen are called both Ishmaelites and Midianites, both being in the company, perhaps, as their territories were contiguous in Arabia.
2. Sold Into Slavery, 39.
Note the faith and piety of Joseph as indicated in v. 9, in language unlike anything hitherto recorded of the patriarchs. Note too that according to v. 20 Potiphar must have doubted the truth of his wife's charge, or else he would probably have executed Joseph.
3. Falsely Imprisoned, 40.
This chapter is chiefly notable for the further evidence it gives of Joseph's intimate acquaintance with and faith in God, and the close dealings of God with him in the revelation of these things.
4. Exalted to the Throne, 41.
Note Pharaoh's testimony to Joseph's power with God (38), not that he himself knew the true God, but that he witnessed to the power Joseph had with the God he (Joseph) served. How does this incident in Joseph's life illustrate 딤전4:8, last clause?
The name given Joseph by Pharaoh merits attention notwithstanding the difficulty in its interpretation. The Revised Version spells it "Zaphenathpaneah," but it is not determined whether it is of Hebrew, Egyptian or Coptic derivation. If the first it may mean "Revealer of secrets"; if the second, "Bread of Life"; if the third, "Saviour of the world"; all bearing on the same thought and any of them both significant and appropriate.
5. Dealing with His Brethren, 42 to 44.
The details of these chapters show the purpose of Joseph to "multiply unlooked for events and complicate the situation for his brethren, both to awaken their conviction of wrongdoing in the past and an expectation of something still more mysterious, whether good or bad, in the future" - thus preparing them for the great revelation soon to be made.
In chapter 44:17, 18 the reference to the three days is important for its bearing on the death and resurrection of Christ. It will be well to note, for example, the vague way of the Hebrews in using the words. According to our usage, had Joseph's brethren been imprisoned three days it would not have been until the fourth day that he changed his plan, but instead of that they were shut up but two nights and the intermediate day, with parts of the first and third days. This was the time Jesus was in the grave, so that there is no more reason to accuse the Bible of inaccuracy or contradiction in the one case than in the other. (Studies in Genesis, in loco.)
6. Revealing Himself to His Brethren, 45.
Why was Pharaoh so pleased to have Jacob and his family settle in Egypt? To show appreciation of Joseph? Yes, and for other reasons. It was not merely three-score and six souls that constituted the whole encampment of Jacob, but between three and four thousand souls, if we count all their dependents, which was a valuable accession to any nation when we consider the character of the people.
And there may have been another reason still, if it be true that the reigning dynasty at this time was the Hyksos or Shepherd kings, i. e., Syrians or Asiatics who centuries before had invaded and seized upon the kingdom, and so were unpopular with the native races. It would be a great advantage to them to have so powerful an accession of Asiatics as Jacob's tribe represented, not only to increase their riches but to "give additional firmness to the throne against the discontent and disturbance of the native races."
7. Settling the Family in Goshen, 46 to 48.
Note the suitableness of Goshen as a place of settlement for the Israelites. In the first place, it afforded good pasturage and they were shepherds, but in some parts of it there was excellent tillage as well. In the next place, its location near the Isthmus of Suez, - made it easy to depart from later on when the necessity was so great. And last, but not least, it was a location where the least offense would be given to the native races, and there was reason for such offense because shepherds were held in abomination by them. Their subjugation by a shepherd race explains this in part, but there was another reason in that the Egyptians for religious reasons did not eat flesh. They worshipped the beasts which the Israelites ate and offered in sacrifice to God.
How long did Jacob live in Egypt (47:28)? What solemn promise did he extract from Joseph just prior to his death (29-31)? Do you think this expressed only the natural desire to be buried with his own people, or did it express faith in the divine promise that his seed should ultimately inherit Canaan?
【창47:1 MHCC】Though Joseph was a great man, especially in Egypt, yet he owned his brethren. Let the rich and great in the world not overlook or despise poor relations. Our Lord Jesus is not ashamed to call us brethren. In answer to Pharaoh's inquiry, What is your calling? they told him that they were shepherds, adding that they were come to sojourn in the land for a time, while the famine prevailed in Canaan. Pharaoh offered to employ them as shepherds, provided they were active men. Whatever our business or employment is, we should aim to excel in it, and to prove ourselves clever and industrious.
【창47:2 JFB】2. he took some of his brethren—probably the five eldest brothers: seniority being the least invidious principle of selection.
【창47:4 JFB】4. For to sojourn … are we come—The royal conversation took the course which Joseph had anticipated (창46:33), and they answered according to previous instructions—manifesting, however, in their determination to return to Canaan, a faith and piety which affords a hopeful symptom of their having become all, or most of them, religious men.
【창47:7 JFB】7. Joseph brought in Jacob his father—There is a pathetic and most affecting interest attending this interview with royalty; and when, with all the simplicity and dignified solemnity of a man of God, Jacob signalized his entrance by imploring the divine blessing on the royal head, it may easily be imagined what a striking impression the scene would produce (compare 히7:7).
【창47:7 MHCC】With the gravity of old age, the piety of a true believer, and the authority of a patriarch and a prophet, Jacob besought the Lord to bestow a blessing upon Pharaoh. He acted as a man not ashamed of his religion; and who would express gratitude to the benefactor of himself and his family. We have here a very uncommon answer given to a very common question. Jacob calls his life a pilgrimage; the sojourning of a stranger in a foreign country, or his journey home to his own country. He was not at home upon earth; his habitation, his inheritance, his treasures were in heaven. He reckons his life by days; even by days life is soon reckoned, and we are not sure of the continuance of it for a day. Let us therefore number our days. His days were few. Though he had now lived one hundred and thirty years, they seemed but a few days, in comparison with the days of eternity, and the eternal state. They were evil; this is true concerning man. He is of few days and full of trouble; since his days are evil, it is well they are few. Jacob's life had been made up of evil days. Old age came sooner upon him than it had done upon some of his fathers. As the young man should not be proud of his strength or beauty, so the old man should not be proud of his age, and his hoary hairs, though others justly reverence them; for those who are accounted very old, attain not to the years of the patriarchs. The hoary head is only a crown of glory, when found in the way of righteousness. Such an answer could not fail to impress the heart of Pharaoh, by reminding him that worldly prosperity and happiness could not last long, and was not enough to satisfy. After a life of vanity and vexation, man goes down into the grave, equally from the throne as the cottage. Nothing can make us happy, but the prospect of an everlasting home in heaven, after our short and weary pilgrimage on earth.
【창47:8 JFB】8. Pharaoh said unto Jacob, How old art thou?—The question was put from the deep and impressive interest which the appearance of the old patriarch had created in the minds of Pharaoh and his court. In the low-lying land of Egypt and from the artificial habits of its society, the age of man was far shorter among the inhabitants of that country than it had yet become in the pure bracing climate and among the simple mountaineers of Canaan. The Hebrews, at least, still attained a protracted longevity.
【창47:9 JFB】9. The days of the years of my pilgrimage, &c.—Though a hundred thirty years, he reckons by days (compare 시90:12), which he calls few, as they appeared in retrospect, and evil, because his life had been one almost unbroken series of trouble. The answer is remarkable, considering the comparative darkness of the patriarchal age (compare 딤후1:10).
【창47:11 JFB】11. Joseph placed his father and his brethren … in the best of the land—best pasture land in lower Egypt. Goshen, "the land of verdure," lay along the Pelusiac or eastern branch of the Nile. It included a part of the district of Heliopolis, or "On," the capital, and on the east stretched out a considerable length into the desert. The ground included within these boundaries was a rich and fertile extent of natural meadow, and admirably adapted for the purposes of the Hebrew shepherds (compare 창49:24; 시34:10; 78:72).
【창47:13 JFB】13-15. there was no bread in all the land—This probably refers to the second year of the famine (창45:6) when any little stores of individuals or families were exhausted and when the people had become universally dependent on the government. At first they obtained supplies for payment. Before long money failed.
【창47:13 MHCC】Care being taken of Jacob and his family, which mercy was especially designed by Providence in Joseph's advancement, an account is given of the saving the kingdom of Egypt from ruin. There was no bread, and the people were ready to die. See how we depend upon God's providence. All our wealth would not keep us from starving, if rain were withheld for two or three years. See how much we are at God's mercy, and let us keep ourselves always in his love. Also see how much we smart by our own want of care. If all the Egyptians had laid up corn for themselves in the seven years of plenty, they had not been in these straits; but they regarded not the warning. Silver and gold would not feed them: they must have corn. All that a man hath will he give for his life. We cannot judge this matter by modern rules. It is plain that the Egyptians regarded Joseph as a public benefactor. The whole is consistent with Joseph's character, acting between Pharaoh and his subjects, in the fear of God. The Egyptians confessed concerning Joseph, Thou hast saved our lives. What multitudes will gratefully say to Jesus, at the last day, Thou hast saved our souls from the most tremendous destruction, and in the season of uttermost distress! The Egyptians parted with all their property, and even their liberty, for the saving of their lives: can it then be too much for us to count all but loss, and part with all, at His command, and for His sake, who will both save our souls, and give us an hundredfold, even here, in this present world? Surely if saved by Christ, we shall be willing to become his servants.
【창47:16 JFB】16. And Joseph said, Give your cattle—"This was the wisest course that could be adopted for the preservation both of the people and the cattle, which, being bought by Joseph, was supported at the royal expense, and very likely returned to the people at the end of the famine, to enable them to resume their agricultural labors."
【창47:21 JFB】21. as for the people, he removed them to cities—obviously for the convenience of the country people, who were doing nothing, to the cities where the corn stores were situated.
【창47:22 JFB】22. Only the land of the priests bought he not—These lands were inalienable, being endowments by which the temples were supported. The priests for themselves received an annual allowance of provision from the state, and it would evidently have been the height of cruelty to withhold that allowance when their lands were incapable of being tilled.
【창47:23 JFB】23-28. Joseph said, Behold, &c.—The lands being sold to the government (창47:19, 20), seed would be distributed for the first crop after the famine; and the people would occupy them as tenants-at-will on the payment of a produce rent, almost the same rule as obtains in Egypt in the present day.
【창47:27 MHCC】At last the time drew nigh that Israel must die. Israel, a prince with God, had power over the Angel, and prevailed, yet must die. Joseph supplied him with bread, that he might not die by famine, but that did not secure him from dying by age or sickness. He died by degrees; his candle gradually burnt down to the socket, so that he saw the time drawing nigh. It is an advantage to see the approach of death, before we feel it, that we may be quickened to do, with all our might, what our hands find to do. However, death is not far from any of us. Jacob's care, as he saw the day approach, was about his burial; not the pomp of it, but he would be buried in Canaan, because it was the land of promise. It was a type of heaven, that better country, which he declared plainly he expected, 히11:14. Nothing will better help to make a death-bed easy, than the certain prospect of rest in the heavenly Canaan after death. When this was done, Israel bowed himself upon the bed's head, worshipping God, as it is explained, see 히11:21, giving God thanks for all his favours; in feebleness thus supporting himself, expressing his willingness to leave the world. Even those who lived on Joseph's provision, and Jacob who was so dear to him, must die. But Christ Jesus gives us the true bread, that we may eat and live for ever. To Him let us come and yield ourselves, and when we draw near to death, he who supported us through life, will meet us and assure us of everlasting salvation.
【창47:29 JFB】29-31. the time drew nigh that Israel must die—One only of his dying arrangements is recorded; but that one reveals his whole character. It was the disposal of his remains, which were to be carried to Canaan, not from a mere romantic attachment to his native soil, nor, like his modern descendants, from a superstitious feeling for the soil of the Holy Land, but from faith in the promises. His address to Joseph—"if now I have found grace in thy sight," that is, as the vizier of Egypt—his exacting a solemn oath that his wishes would be fulfilled and the peculiar form of that oath, all pointed significantly to the promise and showed the intensity of his desire to enjoy its blessings (compare 민10:29).
