Commentary on Genesis 45:26

Theological / Devotional

He believed them not. When they reached their home at Hebron, bringing word that Joseph was not only alive but after all of Egypt, the shock was so great that Jacob’s heart nearly stopped. When his sons had come to Hebron with the tidings of Joseph’s supposed death, Jacob had readily believed their lies. Now that they came telling the truth, Jacob would not believe them at all. Only the costly gifts and the Egyptian carriages finally convinced him of the truth of their story.
