Behold, the Sunne and Moone] See Annot on vers. 10. did obeisance] It was twice revealed to him, how he should be honoured, but he hath no revelation how he should be humbled, for God meant to bring this about by waies unknowne both to Joseph, his father, and brethren; when God reveales himselfe to any, he doth it with stint and limitation; the light he giveth unto them being like that of a dark-lanterne, which may be shut, and opened by severall acts of illumination; so that neither the Prophets, nor Apostles knew any more of Gods secret counsel, then he was pleased by particular informations to impart unto them; for this purpose compare 2 Kings 5:26. with 2 Kings 4:27. And Acts 5:3. with Acts 10:17. 21.
