    VERSE 16 
     - Give your cattle.
      This was the wisest measure that could be adopted, both for
      the preservation of the people and the cattle.  As the people
      had not grain for their own sustenance, consequently they
      could have none for their cattle:  hence they were in the
      most imminent danger of starving; and the people also were in
      equal danger; as they must have divided a portion of that
      bought for themselves with the cattle, which, for the sake of
      tillage, etc., they wished of course to preserve till the
      seven years' famine should end.

    - And as.
      It is highly probable, that Joseph was influenced by no
      political motive in removing the people to the cities, but
      merely by motives of prudence and humanity; for, as the corn
      was laid up in the cities, it would be more eligible to bring
      then from distant towns and villages to places where they
      might be more conveniently supplied with food.
    
    - to cities.

       * Ge 18:3; 33:15 Ru 2:13
    
    
    VERSE 26 
     - made it a law.
      From this history, and from Diodorus Siculus (lib. i.), we
      learn that the land of Egypt was divided into three parts:
      one belonged to the Priests, (ver. 22, 26;) a second was the
      king's, (which appears to have been the land of Rameses, or
      Goshen, ver. 11;) the remainder was the subjects'.  Now
      Joseph, having purchased the land of the people (ver. 19,
      20), restored it, on the condition of their paying a fifth
      part of the produce to the king, beyond which he appears to
      have made no demand.
    
    - except.
       * :22 Eze 7:24
    - priests.  or, princes.  See ver.
       * :22

     - dwelt.

       * Job 14:14; 30:23 Ps 6:5; 49:7,9; 89:48 Heb 9:27

    VERSE 31 
     - Swear.
       * Ge 24:3
    - And Israel bowed.
      As {shachah,} which primarily signifies to bow, denotes also
      to worship; and as {mittah,} a bed, pronounced {matteh,} is a
      staff; the LXX. have taken the passage in the latter sense,
      and rendered it [                                          ,]
      "and Israel worshipped upon the top of his staff," which is
      literally copied by the apostle Paul, in his Epistle to the
      Hebrews.  The present reading is, however, supported by the
      Masoretic pointing and the Targums; and is most probably
      correct, as it would appear that Jacob was confined to his
      bed.
