Genesis 42:38

Étudier

       

38 and he saith, `My son doth not go down with you, for his brother [is] dead, and he by himself is left; when mischief hath met him in the way in which ye go, then ye have brought down my grey hairs in sorrow to sheol.'

5479. 'And he turned away from them' means somewhat of a withdrawal. This is clear from the meaning of 'turning away from them', when it has reference to the inflow of good from the Divine or the Lord, as somewhat of a withdrawal. For the Lord never turns away from anyone, but He does regulate the inflow of good as a man's or angel's state requires. This regulating is what is meant by a withdrawal.
