There is an interesting similarity between Abraham's experience in Egypt and that of his posterity, centuries later. Both went down into Egypt on account of a famine, and both sojourned there. Through the manifestation of divine judgments in their behalf, the fear of them fell upon the Egyptians; and, enriched by the gifts of the heathen, they went out with great substance.

Der er en interessant lighed mellem Abrahams ophold i Ægypten og hans efterkommeres nogle århundreder senere. Begge parter drog til Ægypten på grund af hungersnød, og begge tog ophold dér. Gennem Guds indgriben for deres skyld kom der frygt for dem over ægypterne, og med rige gaver fra hedningerne drog de ud.
