Genesis 46:28-34 And he sent Judah before him to Joseph, to direct his face to Goshen; and they came into the land of Goshen.… Joseph, a prince, was no whir ashamed of the poor old shepherd, before so many of his compeers and other courtiers, that accompanied him, and abominated such kind of persons. Colonel Edwards is much commended for his ingenuous reply to a countryman of his, newly come to him, into the low countries, out of Scotland. This fellow, desiring entertainment of him, told him, my lord his father and such knights and gentlemen, his cousins and kinsmen, were in good health. "Gentlemen," quoth Colonel Edwards to his friends by, "believe not one word he says; my father is but a poor banker, whom this knave would make a lord, to curry favour with me, and make you believe I am a great man born." The truly virtuous and valorous are no whir ashamed of their mean parentage. (J. Trapp.). Parallel Verses KJV: And he sent Judah before him unto Joseph, to direct his face unto Goshen; and they came into the land of Goshen. |
