Gênesis 49:28-32 NVIPT

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Genesis 49:28-33

Here is, I. The summing up of the blessings of Jacob's sons, Gen. 49:28. Though Reuben, Simeon, and Levi were put under the marks of their father's displeasure, yet he is said to bless them every one according to his blessing; for none of them were rejected as Esau was. Note, Whatever rebukes of God's word or providence we are under at any time, yet, as long as we have an interest in God's covenant, a place and a name among his people, and good hopes of a share in the heavenly Canaan, we must... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Genesis 49:28

All these are the twelve tribes of Israel ,.... The twelve sons of Jacob before mentioned were heads of twelve tribes, who were afterwards seated, and had their part in the land of Canaan; there were indeed thirteen tribes, two springing from Joseph; but then the tribe of Levi had no part in the land of Canaan, which was divided into twelve parts; this shows that the above predictions respect not the persons of the patriarchs, but their tribes: and this is it that their father spake... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Genesis 49:29

And he charged them, and said unto them ,.... The same charge he had given to Joseph he here renews, and lays it upon his sons, who were everyone of them to go along with Joseph to bury him in Canaan: I am to be gathered unto my people ; the people of God, the spirits of just men made perfect, the souls of all the saints who before this time had departed this life, and were in a state of happiness and bliss; called his people, because he and they were of the same mystical body the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Genesis 49:30

In the cave that is in the field of Machpelah, which is before Mamre, in the land of Canaan ,.... This is so exactly described, that there might be no mistake about the place, see Genesis 23:17 , which Abraham bought with the field of Ephron the Hittite, for a possession of a burying place ; this is observed if any of the successors of Ephron, or any of the Hittites, should lay any claim unto it, or dispute the right of Jacob's sons to bury him there. read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Genesis 49:31

There they buried Abraham and Sarah his wife ,.... Abraham buried Sarah there himself, and his two sons, Isaac and Ishmael, buried him there: there they buried Isaac and Rebekah his wife ; we have no other account of the death of Rebekah, and her burial, but here; it is probable she died before Isaac, and that Isaac buried her in this cave; and here Esau and Jacob buried him: and there I buried Leah ; of whose death and burial we also read nowhere else but here; it is probable she... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Genesis 49:32

The purchase of the field, and of the cave that is there, was from the children of Heth. Which is repeated for the certainty of it, and that it might be taken notice of, that both the field and cave were bought by Abraham of Ephron the Hittite, and that the children of Heth were witnesses of the bargain, and of the payment of the money, and by whom the estate was made sure to Abraham; all which might be urged, if any controversy should arise about it; see Genesis 23:16 read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 49:28

Every one according to his blessing - That is, guided by the unerring Spirit of prophecy, Jacob now foretold to each of his sons all the important events which should take place during their successive generations, and the predominant characteristic of each tribe; and, at the same time, made some comparatively obscure references to the advent of the Messiah, and the redemption of the world by him. read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 49:29

Bury me with my fathers, etc. - From this it appears that the cave at Machpelah was a common burying-place for Hebrews of distinction; and indeed the first public burying-place mentioned in history. From Genesis 49:31 ; we find that Abraham, Sarah, Isaac, Rebekah, and Leah, had been already deposited there, and among them Jacob wished to have his bones laid; and he left his dying charge with his children to bury him in this place, and this they conscientiously performed. See Genesis 50:13... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 49:28

Verse 28 28.All these are the twelve tribes of Israel. Moses would teach us by these words, that his predictions did not apply only to the sons of Jacob, but extended to their whole race. We have, indeed, shown already, with sufficient clearness, that the expressions relate not to their persons only; but this verse was to be added, in order that the readers might more clearly perceive the celestial majesty of the Spirit. Jacob beholds his twelve sons. Let us grant that, at that time, the number... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 49:29

Verse 29 29.And he charged them. We have seen before, that Jacob especially commanded his son Joseph to take care that his body should be buried in the land of Canaan. Moses now repeats that the same command was given to all his sons, in order that they might go to that country with one consent; and might mutually assist each other in performing this office. We have stated elsewhere why he made such a point of conscience of his sepulture; which we must always remember, lest the example of the... read more
