Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Genesis 50:7-14

We have here an account of Jacob's funeral. Of the funerals of the kings of Judah, usually, no more is said than this, They were buried with their fathers in the city of David: but the funeral of the patriarch Jacob is more largely and fully described, to show how much better God was to him than he expected (he had spoken more than once of dying for grief, and going to the grave bereaved of his children, but, behold, he dies in honour, and is followed to the grave by all his children), and... read more

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Genesis 50:15-21

We have here the settling of a good correspondence between Joseph and his brethren, now that their father was dead. Joseph was at court, in the royal city; his brethren were in Goshen, remote in the country; yet the keeping up of a good understanding, and a good affection, between them, would be both his honour and their interest. Note, When Providence has removed the parents by death, the best methods ought to be taken, not only for the preventing of quarrels among the children (which often... read more

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Genesis 50:22-26

Here is, I. The prolonging of Joseph's life in Egypt: he lived to be a hundred and ten years old, Gen. 50:22. Having honoured his father, his days were long in the land which, for the present, God had given him; and it was a great mercy to his relations that God continued him so long, a support and comfort to them. II. The building up of Joseph's family: he lived to see his great-grand-children by both his sons (Gen. 50:23), and probably he saw his two sons solemnly owned as heads of distinct... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Genesis 50:13

For his sons carried him into the land of Canaan ,.... That is, they took care that he was carried there, as he desired to be; for it cannot be thought that they carried him on their shoulders thither, in like manner as the devout men carried Stephen to his burial, Acts 8:2 . and buried him in the cave of the field of Machpelah , &c.; the very place where he chose to be buried, Genesis 47:29 . read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Genesis 50:14

And Joseph returned into Egypt ,.... As he promised he would, Genesis 50:5 . he and his brethren ; the eleven sons of Jacob; for though they had not made the same promise, nor Joseph for them, yet they returned, having left their little ones, flocks and herds, in Egypt: and all that went up with him to bury his father ; the elders and great men of the land of Egypt, with their attendants: after he had buried his father ; in the land of Canaan, which, though given to the seed of... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Genesis 50:15

And when Joseph's brethren saw that their father was dead ,.... And buried; for this and what follows were after their return to Egypt, from the burial of their father; though some think it was before, and as soon as they saw their father was dead, when they thought it a proper time, while Joseph's heart was tender and affected with his father's death, to compromise matters with him: but there is no reason to invert the order of the narration, for this "seeing" is not to be understood of... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Genesis 50:16

And they sent a messenger unto Joseph ,.... Not Bilhah, as the Targums of Jonathan and Jerusalem, nor her sons, Dan and Naphtali, as Jarchi, grounding it on Genesis 37:1 though it is not improbable that some from among themselves were deputed, who were most interested in Joseph; since it is not very likely they would commit such an affair to a stranger or to a servant; and the most proper persons to be sent on such an errand seem to be Judah and Benjamin, the latter as having had no... read more

John Gill

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Genesis 50:17

So shall ye say unto Joseph, forgive, I pray thee now, the trespass of thy brethren, and their sin ,.... Their very great sin, and therefore more words than one are used to express it: unless this repetition should be intended, and signifies that their crime was a trespass against God, and a sin against their brother; and however they are directed to ask forgiveness for it, and urge the relation they stood in to Joseph, in order to obtain it, which they were ready to acknowledge as a very... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Genesis 50:18

And his brethren also went ,.... The messengers being returned to them, and acquainting them with what Joseph had said, they took courage and went from Goshen to Joseph's house or palace, be it where it may: and fell down before his face ; in an humble suppliant manner: and they said, behold, we be thy servants ; they were content to be so, would he but forgive their sin, and not resent their ill behaviour to him; thus they further fulfilled his dream of the eleven stars making... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Genesis 50:19

And Joseph said unto them, fear not ,.... That any hurt would be done by him to them, or that he would use them ill for their treatment of him: for am I in the place of God ? to receive such homage from you, that you should be my servants, as Saadiah Gaon gives the sense; or rather to take vengeance for injury done, which belongs to God alone: or, "am I not under God" F21 התחת אלהים אני "annon enim sub Deo sum?" Vatablus. ? subject to him, a servant of his, and why should you... read more
