Joseph’s brothers were fearful that he would then do them harm, retaliating against them for the evil that they had done to him. But Joseph wept before them, reassuring them that he would continue to care for them, because all the evil they had done was ultimately for good in the purpose of God, even to save many peoples’ lives. This has its counterpart in the near future at the return of Christ when the Jews, being brought before him, will be fearful of him whom their fathers crucified long ago, for “they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him” (Zechariah 12:10).Waiting for response for Zechariah 12:10 But Jesus will comfort them just as Joseph did.
Verse 5
Waiting for response for Genesis 50:5Jacob had charged his sons to bury him in the promised land, and they discharged this duty.
