E. What Became of Jacob 37:2-50:26Here begins the tenth and last toledot in Genesis. Jacob remains a major character throughout Genesis. Moses recorded his death in chapter 49. Nevertheless Joseph replaces him as the focus of the writer’s attention at this point. [Note: For some enriching insights into the similarities between the stories of Jacob and Joseph, see Peter Miscall, "The Jacob and Joseph Stories As Analogies," Journal for the Study of the Old Testament 6 (February 1978):28-40.]... read more

Peace in the family of Jacob 50:15-21The words of Joseph’s brothers were probably not true (Genesis 50:16-17). Jacob may have left such a message even though Moses did not record it in Genesis. Since Moses did not record it, he probably intended the reader to conclude that Jacob had not. The brothers feared because of their uneasy consciences rather than Joseph’s behavior (cf. Genesis 50:19).Joseph’s response to his fearful brothers reveals his attitudes toward God and them (Genesis 50:18-21;... read more

The death of Joseph 50:22-26Joseph lived to see God’s blessing on his children’s children. He died 54 years after Jacob’s death when he was 110 years old. [Note: See Hugh C. White, "The Joseph Story: A Narrative that ’Consumes’ Its Content," Semeia 31 (1985):49-69.] Some Egyptian texts refer to 110 as the ideal lifespan. [Note: Hamilton, The Book . . . Chapters 18-50, p. 709.] Joseph probably could have experienced burial in a pyramid or had some other grand burial in Egypt. However, he wanted... read more

The Burial of Jacob, and Death of Joseph2. For the importance attached by the Egyptians to the preservation of the corpse see on Genesis 40:19. The process, which was so thorough that mummies of Joseph’s time may be seen in our museums in a state of good preservation, was briefly as follows. The brain and intestines were removed, and the stomach cleansed and filled with spices (embalmed). The body was then steeped in a mixture of salt and soda (called natron), for forty or more days, to... read more

(16, 17) Thy father did command . . . —Many Jewish expositors consider that this was untrue, and that Jacob was never made aware of the fact that his brethren had sold Joseph into slavery. It is, however, probable, from Genesis 49:6, that Jacob not only knew of it, but saw in Simeon and Levi the chief offenders. But besides the father’s authority the message brings a twofold influence to bear upon Joseph: for first it reminds him that they were his brethren, and next, that they shared the same... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Genesis 50:19

(19) Am I in the place of God?—That is, am I to act as judge, and punish? Judges are sometimes in Hebrew even called God (as in Exodus 21:6; Exodus 22:8-9; 1 Samuel 2:25), as exercising His authority. read more

(20) Ye thought . . . God meant.—The verb in the Heb. is the same, and contrasts man’s purpose with God’s purpose. In Genesis 45:7 Joseph had already pointed out that the Divine providence had overruled the evil intentions of his brethren for good. At the end of the verse “much people,” or a great people, means the Egyptians. read more
