Genesis 44:17-18

Psalms 75:2

Reader! attend to every minute circumstance in this intercession of Judah's, for in it there is a representation of a greater than Judah. Observe, before he opened his mouth he came near. Our Almighty Judah, in his glorious character as our intercessor, is said to be in the midst of the throne; Revelation 5:6. Observe also how suitable a type Judah was of JESUS, for our LORD sprang out of Judah. Hebrews 7:14. Observe also, how evident the marks of inspiration are in this whole address. Surely he that made man's mouth gave the matter also. Exodus 4:10. And Reader, do not overlook, that, as Joseph became the type of JESUS as our governor and judge: so Judah is a type of JESUS as our surety and intercessor. It is your happiness and mine, that he who is here, after to come to be our judge is also coming as our Saviour: Philippians 3:20.
