Theological / Devotional

The land of Goshen. Although the name Goshen has not yet been found outside of the Bible, it is generally agreed that the area around the Wadi Tumilat, in the eastern part of the Nile Delta, is meant. It is a valley some 40 mi. in length, whose river, usually dry except in the rainy season, connects the Nile with Lake Timsah. This area has been one of the richest sections of Egypt, in both ancient and modern times.

Near unto me. Avaris, the capital of the Hyksos, was only 20 to 30 mi. from this area, much closer than any other capital in all of Egypt’s history. This is one of the many arguments supporting the view that Joseph was ruler over Egypt in the time of the Hyksos.
