John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 47:30

Verse 30 30.But I will lie with my fathers (188) It appears from this passage, that the word “sleep,” whenever it is put for “die,” does not refer to the soul, but to the body. For, what did it concern him, to be buried with his fathers in the double cave, (189) unless to testify that he was associated with them after death? And by what bond were he and they joined together, except this, that not even death itself could extinguish the power of their faith; which would seem to utter this voice... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 47:31

Verse 31 31.And Israel bowed himself upon the bed’s head. By this expression, Moses again affirms that Jacob esteemed it a singular kindness, that his son should have promised to do what he had required respecting his burial. For he exerts his weak body as much as he is able, in order to give thanks unto God, as if he had obtained something most desirable. He is said to have worshipped towards the head of his bed: because, seeing he was quite unable to rise from the bed on which he lay, he yet... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 47:27-31

The sunset of a long life. There is a touching beauty in this scene between the veteran Israel and the prosperous Joseph. I. An illustration of HUMAN INFIRMITY . The supplanter, the prince of God, must succumb at last to the King of Terrors. " Israel must die ." Yet he is not afraid of death. II. STRENGTH IS MADE PERFECT IN WEAKNESS . Grace appears brightest at the end. His gray hairs have not been "brought with sorrow to the grave," although he feared they... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 47:28

And Jacob lived in the land of Egypt seventeen years: so the whole age of Jacob was (literally, the days of Jacob, the years of his life, were ) an hundred forty and seven years . He had lived seventy-seven years in Canaan, twenty years in Padanaram, thirty-three in Canaan again, and seventeen in Egypt, in all 147 years. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 47:28-31

Jacob's residence in Egypt. I. JACOB 'S PEACEFUL OLD AGE . "And Jacob lived in the land of Egypt seventeen years." After an eventful and checkered pilgrimage of 130 years, during which Jacob had made largo experience of the ills of life, having encountered adversity in forms both more numerous and severe than are allotted to most, he had at length reached a happy harbor of rest in the calm contemplative evening of old age, exchanging the anxieties and toils of his previously... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 47:28-31

Jacob's apprehension. I. WHAT IT WAS . 1. It was not anxiety about temporal support, for that had been generously made sure to him by his son Joseph. 2. It was not concern about the future fortunes of his family, for these had been graciously taken under God's protection. 3. It was not uncertainty as to his own personal acceptance with Jehovah, for of that he had long ago been assured. 4. It was scarcely even fear of his approaching death, for besides being... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 47:29

And the time drew nigh that Israel (i.e. Jacob) must die (literally, and the days of Israel to die drew near ): and he called his son Joseph, and said unto him, If now I have found grace in thy sight (not as if Jacob doubted Joseph's affection, but simply as desiring a last token of his love, perhaps also as unconsciously recognizing his son's greatness), put, I pray thee, thy hand under my thigh ,—an ancient form of adjuration (cf. Genesis 24:2 )— and deal kindly and truly with... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 47:30

But I will lie with my fathers, and thou shalt carry me out of Egypt, and bury me in their burying-place. The request of the venerable patriarch, while due in some respect to the deeply-seated instinct of human nature which makes men, almost universally, long to be buried in ancestral graves, was inspired by the clear faith that Canaan was the true inheritance of Israel, and that, though now obtaining a temporary refuge in Egypt, his descendants would eventually return to the land of promise... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 47:31

And he ( i.e. Jacob) said, Swear unto me (in the manner indicated in Genesis 47:29 ). And he ( i.e. Joseph) sware unto him. And (having concluded this touching and impressive ceremonial) Israel bowed himself upon the bed's head. Though supported by many eminent authorities (Chaldee Pard. phrase, Symmachus, Vulgate, Calvin, Willet, Rosenmüller, Delitzsch, Keil, Kalisch, &c; &c.;), the present rendering is not entirely free from difficulty, since not until the next chapter... read more

- Jacob in Goshen11. רעמסס ra‛mesês, Ra‘meses “son of the sun.”31. מטה mı̂ṭṭāh, “bed.” מטה maṭṭeh “staff.”Arrangements are now made for the settlement of Israel in Goshen. The administration of Joseph during the remaining years of the famine is then recorded. For the whole of this period his father and brothers are subject to him, as their political superior, according to the reading of his early dreams. We then approach to the death-bed of Jacob, and hear him binding Joseph by an oath to... read more
