I will bring thee up again, though not in thy person, yet in thy body, Genesis 47:29,30 Genesis 50:5,13; and in thy posterity, which are a part of thyself, or thyself multiplied. Joseph shall put his hand upon thine eyes; shall close thy eyes; which office was usually performed by the nearest and dearest relations of the dying party among the Jews, Greeks, and Romans. Hereby Jacob is assured that he should die in peace, and that Joseph both now was alive, and should survive his father.
