And Joseph died, and all his brethren, and all that generation.
Joseph died, and all his brethren, and all that generation, х Dowr (H1755), a circle; Septuagint, genea] - signifies not a generation, consisting of thirty years, but, as Rosenmuller explains it, 'the sum total of the lives of contemporary individuals;' or, as Knobel says, 'a century.' Joseph lived to see (Genesis 50:23) the fourth generation flourishing; and his death occurred about seventy years after the immigration into Egypt. Levi was probably the last survivor of that generation (Exodus 6:16).
