John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Genesis 50:9

And there went up with him both chariots and horsemen ,.... Which was done both for the sake of honour and grandeur, and for safety and defence, should they be attacked by robbers in the deserts, or opposed by the Canaanites, and be refused the use of the cave of Machpelah, and the right to it disputed: and it was a very great company ; both for quantity and quality; the attendants at this funeral were very numerous, and many of them great personages, and upon the whole was a very... read more

And they came to the threshingfloor of Atad ,.... Which was either the name of a man the owner of it, or of a place so called from the thorns and brambles which grew here, and with which the threshingfloor was surrounded, as Jarchi says, see Judges 9:14 and it was usual to make a hedge of thorns round about a threshingfloor F15 T. Bab. Sotah, fol. 13. 1. & Gloss. in ib. Aruch in voc. גרן fol. 39. 4. , that it might be preserved; mention is made in the Talmud F16 T. Hieros.... read more

And when the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites ,.... Who were at this time in the possession of the country where the threshingfloor of Atad was: when they saw the mourning in the floor of Atad ; for so large a company of people, and such a grand funeral procession, brought multitudes from all the neighbouring parts to see the sight; and when they observed the lamentation that was made, saw their mournful gestures and actions, and heard their doleful moan: they said, this is a... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 50:1

Joseph fell upon his father's face - Though this act appears to be suspended by the unnatural division of this verse from the preceding chapter, yet we may rest assured it was the immediate consequence of Jacob's death. read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 50:2

The physicians - רפאים ropheim , the healers, those whose business it was to heal or restore the body from sickness by the administration of proper medicines; and when death took place, to heal or preserve it from dissolution by embalming, and thus give it a sort of immortality or everlasting duration. The original word חנט chanat , which we translate to embalm, has undoubtedly the same meaning with the Arabic hanata , which also signifies to embalm, or to preserve from... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 50:3

Forty days - The body it appears required this number of days to complete the process of embalming; afterwards it lay in natron thirty days more, making in the whole seventy days, according to the preceding accounts, during which the mourning was continued. read more

Speak, I pray you, in the ears of Pharaoh - But why did not Joseph apply himself? Because he was now in his mourning habits, and in such none must appear in the presence of the eastern monarchs. See Esther 4:2 . read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 50:7

The elders of his house - Persons who, by reason of their age, had acquired much experience; and who on this account were deemed the best qualified to conduct the affairs of the king's household. Similar to these were the Eldermen, or Aldermen, among our Saxon ancestors, who were senators and peers of the realm. The funeral procession of Jacob must have been truly grand. Joseph, his brethren and their descendants, the servants of Pharaoh, the elders of his house, and all the elders - all the... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 50:10

The threshing-floor of Atad - As אטד atad signifies a bramble or thorn, it has been understood by the Arabic, not as a man's name, but as the name of a place; but all the other versions and the Targums consider it as the name of a man. Threshing-floors were always in a field, in the open air; and Atad was probably what we would call a great farmer or chief of some clan or tribe in that place. Jerome supposed the place to have been about two leagues from Jericho; but we have no certain... read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 50:1

Verse 1 1.And Joseph fell upon his father’s face. In this chapter, what happened after the death of Jacob, is briefly related. Moses, however, states that Jacob’s death was honored with a double mourning — natural (so to speak) and ceremonial. That Joseph falls upon his father’s face and sheds tears, flows from true and pure affection; that the Egyptians mourn for him seventy days, since it is done for the sake of honor, and in compliance with custom, is more from ostentation and vain pomp,... read more
