Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Genesis 49:28
"All these are the twelve tribes of Israel; and this is it that their father spake unto them and blessed them; every one according to his blessing he blessed them."Here is reiterated the fact that Jacob spoke these words. Of course, this statement is either a truth or a lie; and we receive it unequivocally as truth.This is the first mention of this prophecy as "a blessing"; and so it is. To be sure, some have pointed out that Jacob "cursed their anger," a far different thing. Jacob's bitter... read more

"And he charged them, and said unto them, I am to be gathered unto my people; bury me with my fathers in the cave that is in the field of Ephron the Hittite, in the cave that is in the field of Machpelah, which is before Mamre, in the land of Canaan, which Abraham bought with the field from Ephron the Hittite for a possession of a burial place."Having concluded the blessing, Jacob already having received from Joseph, a principal authority in Egypt, a solemn oath that he would be buried in... read more

"There they buried Abraham and Sarah his wife; there they buried Isaac and Rebekah his wife; and there I buried Leah: the field and the cave that is therein, which was purchased from the children of Heth. And when Jacob made an end of charging his sons, he gathered up his feet into the bed, and yielded up the ghost, and was gathered unto his people."Only here, in the Bible, do we learn that Jacob had buried Leah in Machpelah, but nothing is said as to WHEN the event occurred. It is possible... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Genesis 49:28
Genesis 49:28. All these are the twelve tribes of Israel— Bishop Sherlock observes (Diss. 3: on prophecy) 1st, That what is commonly called Jacob's blessing his sons, may be as well called Jacob's appointment of twelve rulers, or princes, to govern the house of Israel: for, that this form of government took place immediately upon the decease of Jacob, may be collected from hence, that from this time all applications and messages are made, not to the people, but to the elders or heads of tribes,... read more

29. he charged them—The charge had already been given and solemnly undertaken ( :-).

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Genesis 49:1-28
14. Jacob’s blessing of his sons 49:1-28Having blessed Pharaoh (Genesis 47:7-10) and Ephraim and Manasseh (Genesis 48:15-20), Jacob next blessed all 12 of his sons and foretold what would become of each of them and their descendants. He disqualified Reuben, Simeon, and Levi from leadership and gave that blessing to Judah. He granted the double portion to Joseph. This chapter is the last one in Genesis that gives the destinies of the family members of Abraham’s chosen line. It contains... read more
