CHAP. XLIII. XLIV, XLV, XLVI, & XLVII. to Vers. 13.

[World 2290] [Iacob 130] [Ioseph 39] THE second year of famine; Benjamin is brought by his bre∣thren [World 2291] into Egypt; he is now the father of ten children. The feasting of Josephs brethren was the better to pretend the stealing of a silver bowle; 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, Chap. 44. 5. for which Joseph would make a very narrow search; 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉: for such a man as he that was in so high a place, could make a very strict inquiry, ver. 15.

Jacob goeth down into Egypt with seventy souls; himself and Jo∣seph, and his two sons, being counted in the number. The Septua∣gint have added five more, viz. Machir, Gilead, Shutelah, Tahan, Eden: from 1 Chron. 7. 14, 20. &c. Followed by Saint Luke, Acts 7. 14.

Jacob and Joseph after thirteen years distance met: Jacob presented before Pharaoh, and the King asks no other question then about his age. It was news in Egypt to see so old a man; Jacob is now 130 years old, and now just the half of the 430 between the Promise and delivery out of Egypt are passed: see Exod. 12. 40. Gal. 3. 17. They had been taken up in these parcels five and twenty years after Abrahams coming into the land, before the birth of Isaac; sixty years of Isaacs age until the birth of Jacob; and now Jacob is an hundred and thirty; the sum of all 215. And now to the coming out of Egypt we must count 215 more; and that count must lead us on thi∣ther.
