Deuteronomy 10:22Meaning & Commentary from the Church Fathers

When we learn that Jacob arrived in Egypt accompanied by seventy-five individuals, it becomes clear that the term "individuals" pertains to the physical form. Likewise, the Word that took on human flesh (cf. Jn. 1:14) embraced the entirety of human existence—thus, feelings of hunger, thirst, weakness, fear, longing, fatigue, bewilderment, sorrow, and similar experiences were fully realized in Him. The divine nature, in itself, is not subject to such conditions, nor does the physical form encounter them apart from the soul’s union with the body.
