Joseph, a key figure in the history of Israel, is addressing his brothers, the patriarchs of the twelve tribes of Israel. The Hebrew word for "brothers" (אַחִים, 'achim) emphasizes the familial bond and unity among the sons of Jacob, despite their past conflicts. Joseph's role as a leader and reconciler is underscored here, as he speaks to them with authority and love.I am about to die Joseph acknowledges his mortality, a theme that resonates throughout the Bible. The Hebrew word for "die" (מוּת, muth) is a reminder of the human condition post-Fall, where death is an inevitable part of life. Joseph's acceptance of his impending death reflects his faith and trust in God's plan, serving as an example of how believers should face their own mortality with hope and assurance in God's promises.but God will surely visit you The phrase "God will surely visit you" is a powerful declaration of divine intervention and faithfulness. The Hebrew verb "visit" (פָּקַד, paqad) implies a purposeful action by God, often associated with deliverance or judgment. Here, it signifies God's commitment to His covenant with the patriarchs. Joseph reassures his brothers that God's presence and guidance will continue beyond his lifetime, emphasizing the continuity of God's promises.and bring you up from this land This phrase speaks to the promise of deliverance and return to the Promised Land. The Hebrew verb "bring up" (עָלָה, 'alah) conveys the idea of ascent, both physically and spiritually. It foreshadows the Exodus, where God will lead the Israelites out of Egypt. Joseph's words are a prophetic assurance that God will fulfill His promise to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, reinforcing the hope of redemption and restoration.to the land He promised on oath The "land" refers to Canaan, the Promised Land, a central theme in the Abrahamic covenant. The Hebrew word for "promised" (נִשְׁבַּע, nishba) indicates a solemn oath, underscoring the certainty and unchangeable nature of God's promises. This covenantal promise is foundational to the identity and destiny of the Israelites, reminding them of their unique relationship with God and His unwavering faithfulness.to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob Mentioning the patriarchs—Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob—connects Joseph's words to the broader narrative of God's covenantal relationship with Israel. Each patriarch received God's promise of land, descendants, and blessing, forming the basis of Israel's national identity. Joseph's reference to them serves as a reminder of God's historical faithfulness and the continuity of His plan through generations. It inspires believers to trust in God's promises, knowing that He is faithful to fulfill them across time.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/genesis/50.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(24) God will . . . bring you out of this land.--This is, first, a proof of Joseph's faith, commended in <a href="/hebrews/11-22.htm" title="By faith Joseph, when he died, made mention of the departing of the children of Israel; and gave commandment concerning his bones.">Hebrews 11:22</a>; and, secondly, it is a preparation for the next book (Exodus).
