vexed sorely the whole Earth as Sulpitius Severus expresseth it Sac. Hist. l. 1. So now a hardness of Heart blindness of Mind and a Famine of the Heavenly Bread came upon those who are called Egyptians by a certain Figure of Speech who profess the Christian Religion externally and upon the Jews who would drive away exterminate and cast out Christ 12. He sent our Fathers first That is In the first year of the Famine As if he had said Jacob pinched with Famine sends his ten Sons for Corn into Egypt keeping Benjamin his youngest Son with him at home So saith Daniel Brenius in the first Embassage whereby the Jews are hitherto compelled to be as it were disowned of God in Egypt Spiritually so called Messias the deliverer altho by them desired yet is not acknowledged because they were not yet aright affected for the evil of rejecting him and the Judgments they thereby brought upon themselves 13. And in the second To wit Year of the Famine when Joseph's Brethren returned to him for Corn. Known c. That is He made himself known to them * Gen. 45.1 And so Joseph's Kindred was made known unto Pharoah or Mephramuthosis The manifestation of Joseph to his Brethren when they returned to him the Second time saith the now cited Daniel Brenius doth typically represent to us that the Jews at last brought under with calamities at the second time when the Gospel of Christ shall be again Preached and his name spread throughout the whole Earth shall acknowledge him for the Messias and God on the other side owning them for the Messias s Brethren will make them partakers of his good things through him 14. Then sent Joseph c. As if he had said At the command of King Mephramuthosis Joseph sends back his Brethren furnished with Chariots Provision and Presents to bring thither his Father and his whole Family with all expedition forewarning them that the Famine would continue five years longer as saith Sulpicius Severus Sac Hist l. 1. See Gen. 45. Threescore and fifteen Souls That is consisting of 75 Persons Interpreters have been at very much pains saith the famed Lud. de Dieu to reconcile this place with that of Gen. 46.27 where Moses makes mention only of 70 Souls of Jacobs House that went down into Egypt But there is no great difficulty in it if we say that the places are not parallel For Moses makes his account wherein together with Jacob only his posterity and those that proceeded out of his Loins are comprehended his Sons Wives being expresly excepted v. 26. For which reason not only those who actually entred Egypt with him but also Joseph and his two Sons Ephraim and Manasse are comprehended in the number of seventy although they were in Egypt long before because both as proceeding out of Jacobs Loyns and being as to their Original of the Land of Canaan they were strangers in Egypt and so were deservedly reckoned as if they had gone down into Egypt with Jacob. And it is of singular moment in that Catalogue that Judas's two Grand-Children by Pharez to wit Hezron and Hamul although they were not then born as may be gathered from the series of Time but afterwards in Egypt are comprehended in that number v. 11. that they might supply the place of the two Sons of Juda Er and Onan then deceased For which reason also Num. 26.21 whereas in the rest of the Tribes not the Grand-children but only the Children make up the Princes of the Families in the Tribe of Juda alone not only his Sons Selah Pharez and Zera but also his Grand-children Hezron and Hamul are made Princes of the Families of Judah as if added to his Sons But none of these things have place in Stephens Discourse for he does not give a Genealogy of Jacobs Race but only gives an account who they were that Joseph sent for from the Land of Canaan into Egypt His words are Then sent Joseph and called his Father Jacob unto him and all his kindred threescore and fifteen Souls He sent for more than proceeded out of Jacobs Loyns but did not send for all that came out of his Loyns First therefore Juda's two Grand-children are to be excluded there then Joseph himself with his two Sons for he could not send for those as not yet born nor himself and his Sons as already dwelling in Egypt Therefore if we substract these five and then Jacob their Father who is mentioned apart by Stephen there remain of Moses number of 70. but 64 to wit the Eleven Brethren one Sister Dina and 52 Sons of the Brethren to which if we add the eleven Wives of of the eleven Brethren which undoubtedly Joseph sent for together with their Husbands and which belonged to the Kindred ye have his whole Kindred 75 Souls The Ethiopick renders it And Joseph after that he knew that he commanded that they should call his Father and all his Kindred And there came unto him 75 Souls Which version excludes Joseph and his Children because they could not be said to come unto him but in that he errs that he includes Jacob also in the number of the 75 Souls as coming also with the rest to Joseph For that number agreeth only to his Kindred Nor does it militate any thing against what is said that most are of Opinion that the ten Sons of Benjamin who are comprehended by Moses in the number of the 52 Grand-children of Jacob Gen. 46.21 were at that time either none or few of them born and therefore they could not be rightly said to have been sent for by Joseph For it may be answered that his Sons though born afterwards might be rightly added to the number lest he only among all the Brethren should be reckoned without Children But there is no necessity to recur to that seeing he was of that age then that he might have had so many Children For Joseph was thirty years of age when he was first brought before Pharoah Gen. 41.46 Betwixt which time and Jacobs entrance into Egypt interceded seven years of Plenty and two of the Famine Gen. 45.6 Now when Joseph was 39 years of age Benjamin might be of the age of 37. at which age especially where Polygamy had obtained why might not he be Father of ten Sons Hence it may be collected that neither is there any error to be imputed to Moses's Text from Stephens words nor to Stephens words from Moses's Text but that both spoke very well according to their different intent Hence it also follows that the Text of the Seventy Interpreters is corrupted which Gen. 46.27 instead of Seventy has Seventy five Which seems certainly to have been done by some Christians who when they could not reconcile the place of Stephen with the words of Moses and did believe that by all means Stephen was to be credited they altered the Greek Text of Moses or rather corrupted it that it might be at least demonstrated whence Stephen had these
