Genesis 50:6-9 - Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary

Bible Comments

How falsely sometimes we calculate! Jacob talked of going down to the grave to his children. But a gracious GOD here permits Jacob's funeral to be followed by all his children. See Genesis 42:38.

Genesis 50:6-9

6 And Pharaoh said, Go up, and bury thy father, according as he made thee swear.

7 And Joseph went up to bury his father: and with him went up all the servants of Pharaoh, the elders of his house, and all the elders of the land of Egypt,

8 And all the house of Joseph, and his brethren, and his father's house: only their little ones, and their flocks, and their herds, they left in the land of Goshen.

9 And there went up with him both chariots and horsemen: and it was a very great company.
