SEV Biblia, Chapter 50:24
Y José dijo a sus hermanos: Yo me muero; mas Dios ciertamente os visitará, y os hará subir de esta tierra a la tierra que juró a Abraham, a Isaac, y a Jacob.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Genesis 50:24
Verse 24. Joseph said-I die] That is, I am dying; and God will surely visit you - he will yet again give you, in the time when it shall be essentially necessary, the most signal proof of his unbounded love towards the seed of Jacob. And bring you out of this land] Though ye have here every thing that can render life comfortable, yet this is not the typical land, the land given by covenant, the land which represents the rest that remains for the people of God.
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. __________________________________________________________________
