Gen. 45:1–28 Moved by Judah’s speech, Joseph is unable to restrain his emotions. He reveals his true identity to his amazed brothers. In a long speech he attempts to lessen their sense of guilt by stressing God’s role in sending him to Egypt in order to preserve the lives of his family. With the famine set to continue for another five years, Joseph sends his brothers back to Canaan in order to bring the rest of his family to Egypt. The narrator makes no comment on whether Joseph’s deception of his brothers was right. The emphasis is on the consequences: the brothers acknowledged their guilt for what they did to Joseph, and they were concerned for their father and their youngest brother. This allowed for forgiveness between Joseph and his brothers.
Gen. 45:8 Joseph probably calls himself a father to Pharaoh to express his commitment to Pharaoh’s well-being.
Gen. 45:10 The precise location of the land of Goshen is not known. It was probably a region in the eastern delta of the Nile, in the area of the Wadi Tumilat. Joseph chooses Goshen because it was good land for herdsmen and it was close to him. It was far enough away from Egypt, though, that the family would keep their ethnic and religious distinctiveness.
