SEV Biblia, Chapter 50:22
¶ Y estuvo José en Egipto, él y la casa de su padre: y vivió José ciento diez años.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Genesis 50:22
Verse 22. Joseph dwelt in Egypt] Continued in Egypt after his return from Canaan till his death; he, and his father's house - all the descendants of Israel, till the exodus or departure under the direction of Moses and Aaron, which was one hundred and forty-four years after.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 22-26 - Joseph having honoured his father, his days were long in the land which, for the present, God had given him. When he saw his deat approaching, he comforted his brethren with the assurance of their return to Canaan in due time. We must comfort others with the sam comforts with which we have been comforted of God, and encourage the to rest on the promises which are our support. For a confession of his own faith, and a confirmation of theirs, he charges them to keep his remains unburied till that glorious day, when they should be settled in the land of promise. Thus Joseph, by faith in the doctrine of the resurrection, and the promise of Canaan, gave commandment concernin his bones. This would keep up their expectation of a speedy departur from Egypt, and keep Canaan continually in their minds. This would als attach Joseph's posterity to their brethren. The death, as well as the life of this eminent saint, was truly excellent; both furnish us with strong encouragement to persevere in the service of God. How happy to set our early in the heavenly race, to continue stedfastly, and to finish the course with joy! This Joseph did, this we also may do. Eve when the pains of death are upon us, if we have trusted in Him upo whom the patriarchs, prophets, and apostles depended, we need not fea to say, "My flesh and my heart faileth, but God is the strength of m heart, and my portion for ever. __________________________________________________________________
