SEV Biblia, Chapter 47:29
Y llegaron los días de Israel para morir, y llamó a José su hijo, y le dijo: Si he hallado ahora gracia en tus ojos, te ruego que pongas tu mano debajo de mi muslo, y harás conmigo misericordia y verdad; te ruego que no me entierres en Egipto;
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Genesis 47:29
Verse 29. Put-thy hand under my thigh] See on ""Genesis xxiv. 2"".
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 27-31 - At last the time drew nigh that Israel must die. Israel, a prince with God, had power over the Angel, and prevailed, yet must die. Josep supplied him with bread, that he might not die by famine, but that di not secure him from dying by age or sickness. He died by degrees; his candle gradually burnt down to the socket, so that he saw the tim drawing nigh. It is an advantage to see the approach of death, befor we feel it, that we may be quickened to do, with all our might, what our hands find to do. However, death is not far from any of us. Jacob' care, as he saw the day approach, was about his burial; not the pomp of it, but he would be buried in Canaan, because it was the land of promise. It was a type of heaven, that better country, which he declared plainly he expected, Heb 11:14. Nothing will better help to make a death-bed easy, than the certain prospect of rest in the heavenly Canaan after death. When this was done, Israel bowed himsel upon the bed's head, worshipping God, as it is explained, see He 11:21, giving God thanks for all his favours; in feebleness thu supporting himself, expressing his willingness to leave the world. Eve those who lived on Joseph's provision, and Jacob who was so dear to him, must die. But Christ Jesus gives us the true bread, that we ma eat and live for ever. To Him let us come and yield ourselves, and when we draw near to death, he who supported us through life, will meet u and assure us of everlasting salvation __________________________________________________________________
