The sons of Jacob are the patriarchs of the twelve tribes of Israel, and their actions here are significant in fulfilling the last wishes of their father. The Hebrew word for "sons" is "בָּנִים" (banim), which not only denotes biological offspring but also carries the connotation of building or establishing a legacy. In this context, the sons are not just fulfilling a duty but are participating in the continuation of the covenantal promise given to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.<p><b>did</b><br />The Hebrew verb used here is "וַיַּעֲשׂוּ" (vaya'asu), which means "to do" or "to make." This word implies action and obedience. The sons' actions are a direct response to their father's command, demonstrating their respect and reverence for him. In a broader theological sense, this obedience can be seen as a model for how the people of God are to respond to divine commandments—promptly and faithfully.<p><b>as he had commanded them</b><br />The phrase underscores the importance of following the instructions given by Jacob. The Hebrew root for "commanded" is "צָוָה" (tzavah), which means to charge or to give orders. This word is often used in the context of divine commandments, indicating that Jacob's instructions carried significant weight and authority. Historically, this reflects the patriarchal society where the father's word was law within the family. Scripturally, it highlights the importance of honoring one's parents, a theme that is echoed in the Ten Commandments (<a href="/exodus/20-12.htm">Exodus 20:12</a>). Jacob's command was not merely a personal wish but was tied to the fulfillment of God's promises to him and his ancestors.
