“And Israel dwelt in the land of Egypt, in the country of Goshen; and they had possessions therein, and grew, and multiplied exceedingly.”
Now the Israelites settled in Egypt in the region of Goshen. They acquired property there and were fruitful and increased greatly in number. The fruitfulness of Israel in Goshen — acquiring property, increasing greatly — is the covenant blessing operating in Egypt. The application: the covenant blessing of fruitfulness and increase operates wherever the covenant family is placed — in Canaan, in Harran, in Egypt. The promise of Genesis 12:2 is being kept.
