Esau receives Jacob with affection. Esau departs for Edom, and Jacob resides in Canaan. |

And Jacob's the sons that were also a dozen! |
|
Jacob had served Laban 7 yrs for Rachel, and being given Leah had served 7 more for Rachel. |
|
20-29 |
Each mother a sister! Each brother a cousin! |
|
|
|
|
And his wives were fond Leah, and Rachel the fair, |
|
|
|
|
And fourteen the years that he served for the pair. |

As Rachel's were two sons, then whose were the ten? |
1732 |
Rachel dies at the birth of Benjamin, the twelfth and last son of Jacob. |
|
16-20 |
As she died at the birth of her dear little Ben. |
|
|
|
|
Oh! Four sons with two of the hand-maids you see, |
|
|
|
23-26 |
And Leah's as many as all of the three! |
|

And 'twas Joseph, the son of the beauteous wife, |
1728 |
Joseph sold by his brethren to the Midianites, who sell him to Potiphar, the Egyptian. |
|
XXVII |
Whose dreaming engendered unbrotherly strife! |
|
|
|
3-31 |
And to Joseph was given the wonderful coat, |
|
|
|
|
That his brethren stain with the blood of a goat. |

This proof of his death to their father, they bring, |
1715 |
Joseph interpreting Pharaoh’s prophetic dream is made Lord of the land. The 7 yrs of Plenty commence. |

The dreams of this Pharaoh, doth Joseph explain, |
|

F- Famine |

And when untoEgyptthe Canaanites haste, |
1708 |
The seven years of Famine commence. |
|
XLII |
When Canaan is sterile, andCanaanis waste; |
|
|
|
20 |
Then Joseph espying his brethren ten, |
1707 |
Jacob sends his sons to Egypt to buy corn. |
|
|
Forbids their returning, excepting with Ben. |
|
|
|
|
31 |
|
31 |
|
|
And Benny returning, his heart doth rejoice! |
1706 |
Jacob sends them again with Benjamin. |
|
XLIII |
Of fruits and of viands, he getteth the choice! |
|
|
|
16-28 |
For Joseph:--he feasts them and questions he plies, |
|
Joseph feasts his brethren. |
|
|
And eagerly ponders their meager replies! |
|
|
|
|
32 |
|
32 |
|
|
And then when they speak of his mother asleep! |
|
Joseph’s policy to stay his brethren; he commands his cup to be put in Benjamin’s sack |
|
29-30 |
He grieves them, and leaves them, unnoticed to weep! |
|
|
|
XLIV |
And sorely it grieves him, that Benny should leave him |
|
|
|
1-2 |
And thus he endeavors to keep and deceive him |
|
|
|
|
33 |
|
33 |
|
|
So when they've examined the sacks of the ten, |
|
The cup is found in Benjamin’s sack. |
|
10-12 |
The cup is discovered with dear little Ben, |
|
|
|
|
And Joseph informs them that Benny must stay |
|
They are brought before Joseph. |
|
|
But, Hark ye! What Judah, the elder, doth say-- |
|
|
|
|
34 |
|
34 |
|
|
He tells of the father so aged and sad! |
|
Judah’s humble supplication unto Joseph in behalf of his brother Benjamin. |
|
XLIV |
How dearly he loveth his dear little lad! |
|
|
|
16-32 |
That already he mourneth a favorite son, |
|
|
|
|
And Ben is his youngest, his motherless one. |
|
|
|
|
35 |
|
35 |
|
|
And Judah determined his brother to save, |
|
Judah promises to be the slave of Joseph in the place of Benjamin. |
|
33-34 |
Replies unto Joseph that he'll be his slave. |
|
|
|
|
And yet he had proven relentless and cold, |
|
|
|
|
When another, a brother, was earlier sold. |
|

And then could kind Joseph no longer refrain, |
|
Joseph maketh himself known to his brothers, and engages them to come to Egypt with their father. |
|
1-15 |
And when with his brothers, no others remain |
|
|
|
XLVI |
He tells them that other, that brother, they name, |
|
|
|
1-7 |
And him whom they honor are one and the same. |
|
|
|
|
37 |
|

|
|
His brothers approach him! Their fault is confessed. |
|
The going of Israel into Egypt. 70 persons in all. Goshen is assigned them by King Pharaoh. |
|
XLVII |
And Joseph and children by Jacob are blessed. |
|
|
|
6-11 |
And then by King Pharaoh isGoshenassigned them! |
|
|
|
|
And thus not in Canaan, butEgypt, we find them! |

And "Israel" dying, through blessings describes, |
1689 |
Jacob, having blessed his sons and the sons of Joseph, dies in Egypt, and is buried in Canaan. |
