Genesis
Chapter 47
10
And Jacob blessed Pharaoh, and went out from before Pharaoh.
Bjesi's Note
Jan 26
Pharaoh spoke kindly to Jacob, in the traditional GREETING custom, asking after their well being, THIS was a time consuming custom. THAT is why in Luke 10:3-5 it is said, 'greet no one', but hurry.
Jacob blessed Pharaoh AGAIN when he was ready to leave. This was very appropriate: the pharaoh had been kind and generous to his family and him, and God always directs us to do the right thing. He lets us know what and when.
