Genesis 50:24 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 50:24

And Joseph said unto his brethren, I die
Some time before his death he called them together, and observed to them, that he expected to die in a little time, as all must:

and God will surely visit you;
not in a way of wrath and vindictive justice, as he sometimes does, but in a way of love, grace, and mercy:

and bring you out of this land;
the land of Egypt, in which they then dwelt:

unto the land which he sware to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob;
meaning the land of Canaan, which he swore to those patriarchs that he would give to their posterity.

Genesis 50:24 In-Context

22 Joseph stayed in Egypt, along with all his father’s family. He lived a hundred and ten years

23 and saw the third generation of Ephraim’s children. Also the children of Makir son of Manasseh were placed at birth on Joseph’s knees.

24 Then Joseph said to his brothers, “I am about to die. But God will surely come to your aid and take you up out of this land to the land he promised on oath to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.”

25 And Joseph made the Israelites swear an oath and said, “God will surely come to your aid, and then you must carry my bones up from this place.”

26 So Joseph died at the age of a hundred and ten. And after they embalmed him, he was placed in a coffin in Egypt.
