Joseph also provided his father and brothers
Joseph, as the second most powerful man in Egypt, fulfills his role as a provider and protector for his family. This act of provision is significant in the context of the famine that has gripped the land. Joseph's actions reflect the fulfillment of God's promise to Abraham that his descendants would be preserved. Joseph's role as a provider is a type of Christ, who provides for His people spiritually and physically.

and all his father’s household
The term "household" includes not only immediate family but also extended family and servants. This reflects the patriarchal structure of ancient Near Eastern societies, where the family unit was central to social and economic life. Joseph's care for the entire household underscores the importance of family unity and responsibility.

with food for their families
The provision of food during a time of severe famine highlights Joseph's wisdom and foresight, as he had previously stored grain during the years of plenty. This act of provision is reminiscent of God's provision for the Israelites in the wilderness with manna. It also foreshadows the spiritual sustenance that Christ provides, as He is the "bread of life" (John 6:35). The physical sustenance Joseph provides is a tangible expression of God's faithfulness and care for His covenant people.

What Does Genesis 47:12 Mean
Joseph also provided

- Joseph’s action is deliberate and ongoing. Earlier he promised, “I will provide for you” (Genesis 45:11), and here he fulfills that word.

- His generosity flows from God-given authority; Pharaoh trusted him with Egypt’s resources (Genesis 41:40).

- Scripture elsewhere commends such stewardship: “Whoever is generous to the poor lends to the LORD” (Proverbs 19:17), and Joseph models that truth in real time.

his father and brothers

- Joseph honors Jacob, keeping the fifth commandment alive long before Sinai (Exodus 20:12; cf.Ephesians 6:2).

- He breaks any cycle of bitterness with his brothers (Genesis 50:21). Forgiveness becomes visible through practical care, echoingRomans 12:20: “If your enemy is hungry, feed him.”

- The family that once stripped him of a coat now receives coats of grain; God turns evil to good (Genesis 50:20).

and all his father’s household

- Provision extends beyond the immediate twelve brothers to servants, grandchildren, and in-laws, showing a wide embrace (Genesis 46:26–27).

- Scripture later teaches, “If anyone does not provide for his own… he has denied the faith” (1 Timothy 5:8). Joseph lives that principle centuries ahead of Paul’s pen.

- The verse underscores that covenant families matter to God; He preserves a people through whom Messiah will come (Genesis 12:3;Galatians 3:16).

with food

- In a severe famine (Genesis 47:13), food equals life. Joseph’s storehouses reflect the Creator who “gives food to all flesh” (Psalm 136:25).

- Physical sustenance pictures spiritual truth: just as grain saves Jacob’s clan, Christ, the “bread of life” (John 6:35), will later save the world.

- The scene anticipates Jesus feeding multitudes (Mark 6:41), reminding us that God delights in meeting human need.

for their families

- The phrase shows ordered distribution—each household receives what it can consume, nothing wasted (Exodus 16:18).

- Family units remain intact in Goshen, protected from Egyptian assimilation; this sets the stage for Israel’s growth into a nation (Exodus 1:7).

- God’s pattern emerges: rescue a family, birth a nation, bless the earth (Genesis 17:7;Acts 3:25).

summary

Genesis 47:12 depicts Joseph faithfully nourishing every member of Jacob’s line during famine. The verse highlights honorable care for parents, reconciliation with siblings, wide-ranging generosity, and God’s larger plan to preserve the covenant family through whom salvation will come. It calls believers today to the same practical, compassionate provision, knowing that the God who once filled Jacob’s barns still supplies every need.

(12)According to their families.--Heb.,according to the"taf"This, as we have seen above, means "according to the clan or body of dependants possessed by each one." Dan, with his one child, would have been starved to death if the allowance for himself and his household had depended upon the number of his "little ones," which is the usual translation of this word in the Authorised Version. (See margin.)

Verse 12. -And Joseph nourished-ἐσιτομέτρει (LXX.),i.e. gave them their measure of corn -his father, and his brethren, and all his father's household, with bread, according to their families - literally, to, or according to, the mouth of the little ones, meaning either in proportion to the size of their families (LXX., Keil, Kalisch, Murphy), or with all the tenderness with which a parent provides for his offspring (Murphy), or the whole body of them, from the greatest even to the least (Calvin), or completely, down even to the food for their children ('Speaker's Commentary').
