Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Genesis 49:28-33

MAIN HOMILETICS OF THE PARAGRAPH.—Genesis 49:28-33THE DYING JACOBI. His peace. His work is now done, his last blessing pronounced, his last prayer uttered. Nothing more is left but to gather up his feet and die. His life was satisfied with the goodness of the Lord. With great calmness he gives command concerning his burial, but here he reveals that habit of mind which he had of always dwelling upon the past. He was a man who was fond of recording seasons. He had his history by heart. He gives... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Genesis 49:1-33

Genesis 48:0 and 49 (with Deuteronomy 33:0 and Judges 5:0 ) Jacob's blessing of his sons marks the close of the patriarchal dispensation. Henceforth the channel of God's blessing to man does not consist of one person only, but of a people or nation. As the patriarchal dispensation ceases it secures to the tribes all the blessing it has itself contained. The distinguishing features which Jacob depicts in the blessing of his sons were found in all the generations of the tribes, and displayed... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Genesis 49:1-33

Chapter 49And Jacob called his sons, and said, Gather yourselves together, that I may tell you that which shall befall you in the last days ( Genesis 49:1 ).This is probably the grandest hour of the old man Jacob. He had had some pretty rough hours. Life had been hard. As he said to the Pharaoh, "My days had been a hundred and thirty years and few and evil are the days of my pilgrim". They had been tough years. But he rose to the grandest hour in the hour of his death. Gathering his sons... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Genesis 49:1-33

Genesis 49:2. Gather yourselves together. This phrase implies that they should come purified, and prepared for instruction. Genesis 49:3-4 . Reuben. Jacob here seems to enumerate the excellencies of Reuben, the more deeply to detest his crime; and after affirming that he should not excel in posterity, he turns towards his brethren, and adds, because he went up to my couch. But Dr. Lightfoot rather softens this translation. Reuben shall have a remnant of dignity, and a remnant of... read more

The Biblical Illustrator - Genesis 49:29

Genesis 49:29Bury me with my fathersLove in deathThe patriarch Jacob, in his last request, says, “Bury me with my fathers”; and this feeling has illustration all along the ages in different races and climes.What is it but the outward symbol of that which is deepest in the heart? What is it but an expression of the preciousness of these earthly relationships? Bury me with my fathers. Of course in the grave, with silence and darkness, there is no device or knowledge. So far as the perishing... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Genesis 49:29

Gen 49:29 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, Ver. 29. I am to be gathered, &c. ] That is, I am now going to heaven; whereof being so well assured, what wonder though he were so willing to die? "I know that my Redeemer liveth," saith Job; "I know whom I have trusted," saith Paul. And what shall become of my soul when I die, let him see to it, who laid down his life for... read more

Wesley's Explanatory Notes - Genesis 49:29

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,I am to be gathered unto my people — Though death separate us from our children, and our people in this world, it gathers us to our fathers, and to our people in the other world. Perhaps Jacob useth this expression concerning death, as a reason why his sons should bury him in Canaan, for (saith he) I am to be gathered unto my people, my... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 49:29

29. Bury me with my fathers The great prophet has spoken his last oracle; his sons have received his dying benedictions; and now his heart turns to his fathers, to whom he is about to be gathered . There is a touching beauty and tenderness in the allusion to Machpelah (on which see notes at Genesis 23:9; Genesis 23:19) and Mamre to Abraham and Sarah, and Isaac and Rebekah, and Leah . He would have his body repose along with theirs, as, also, he expected his immortal part would be... read more
