Contextual Overview

1 The head religious leader asked Stephen, "Are these things true?" 2 Stephen said, "My brothers and fathers, listen to me. The great God showed Himself to our early father Abraham while he lived in the country of Mesopotamia. This was before he moved to the country of Haran. 3 God said to him, ‘Leave your family and this land where you were born. Go to a land that I will show you.' 4 He went from the land of the Chaldeans and lived in Haran. After his father died, he came to this country where you now live. 5 God did not give him any land to own, not even enough to put his feet on. But He promised that the land would be his and his children's after him. At that time he had no children. 6 This is what God said, ‘Your children's children will be living in a strange land. They will live there 400 years. They will be made to work without pay and will suffer many hard things. 7 I will say to that nation that it is guilty for holding them and making them work without pay. After that they will go free. They will leave that country and worship Me in this place.' 8 "He made a promise with Abraham. It was kept by a religious act of becoming a Jew. Abraham had a son, Isaac. On the eighth day Abraham took Isaac and had this religious act done to him. Isaac was the father of Jacob. Jacob was the father of our twelve early fathers. 9 "The sons of Jacob sold Joseph to people from the country of Egypt because they were jealous of him. But God was with Joseph. 10 He helped him in all his troubles. He gave him wisdom and favor with Pharaoh, the king of Egypt. This king made Joseph leader over Egypt and over all the king's house.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And at the second time Joseph was made known to his brethren,.... That is, when the brethren of Joseph went a second time down to Egypt for corn, Joseph made himself known unto them, Genesis 45:1.

And Joseph's kindred was made known unto Pharaoh; for though it was known before that he was an Hebrew, see Genesis 39:17 yet it was not known of what family he was, who was his father, or his brethren, but now it was known, Genesis 45:16.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Joseph was made known - Genesis 45:4.

Joseph’s kindred ... - His relatives; his family, Genesis 45:16.
