Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Genesis 47:11

COM commentary-section · status:draft · license:PD

11. Joseph placed his father and his brethren . . . in the best of the land —best pasture land in lower Egypt. Goshen, "the land of verdure," lay along the Pelusiac or eastern branch of the Nile. It included a part of the district of Heliopolis, or "On," the capital, and on the east stretched out a considerable length into the desert. The ground included within these boundaries was a rich and fertile extent of natural meadow, and admirably adapted for the purposes of the Hebrew shepherds (compare Genesis 49:24 ; Psalms 34:10 ; Psalms 78:72 ). return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-13" class="com-number"
