Genesis 46:1

Context

The Family of Jacob goes to Egypt

46:1 So Israel began his journey, taking with him all that he had.⁴ When he came to Beer Sheba⁵ he offered sacrifices to the God of his father Isaac.

¹sn Offered burnt offerings on the altar. F. D. Maurice includes a chapter on the sacrifice of Noah in The Doctrine of Sacrifice. The whole burnt offering, according to Leviticus 1, represented the worshiper’s complete surrender and dedication to the Lord. After the flood Noah could see that God was not only a God of wrath, but a God of redemption and restoration. The one who escaped the catastrophe could best express his gratitude and submission through sacrificial worship, acknowledging God as the sovereign of the universe.

²tn The construction is a cognate accusative with the verb, expressing a specific sacrifice.

³tn Heb “bread, food.” Presumably this was a type of peace offering, where the person bringing the offering ate the animal being sacrificed.

⁴tn Heb “and Israel journeyed, and all that was his.”

⁵sn Beer Sheba. See Gen 21:31; 28:10.
