Génesis 46:6 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 46:6

And they took their cattle, and their goods, which they had
gotten in the land of Canaan
Some interpreters add, by way of explanation, and in Mesopotamia; much of Jacob's substance being yet there, though the greatest part was got in Canaan, and so that is put for the whole; and Jarchi supposes that Jacob gave all that he got in Padanaram to Esau for his part in the cave of Machpelah, and therefore mention is only made of his substance in Canaan; but there is no need of any such additions or suppositions, since the text only speaks of the substance of Jacob's sons, and what they had was only gotten in Canaan, into which they came very young; all which they brought with them as being their property, and not obliged to leave it behind to strangers; though they were bid not to regard their stuff, yet they were not willing to live upon others, but upon their own, and as much as they could independent of others; and that they might not be upbraided hereafter that they came into Egypt poor and destitute of everything: and came into Egypt, Jacob, and all his seed with him;
safe and well.

Génesis 46:6 In-Context

4 Yo descenderé contigo a Egipto, y ciertamente, yo también te haré volver; y José cerrará tus ojos.
5 Entonces Jacob partió de Beerseba; y los hijos de Israel llevaron a su padre Jacob, y a sus pequeños y a sus mujeres, en las carretas que Faraón había enviado para llevarlo.
6 Y tomaron sus ganados y los bienes que habían acumulado en la tierra de Canaán y vinieron a Egipto, Jacob y toda su descendencia con él:
7 sus hijos y sus nietos con él, sus hijas y sus nietas; a toda su descendencia trajo consigo a Egipto.
8 Estos son los nombres de los hijos de Israel, Jacob y sus hijos, que fueron a Egipto: Rubén, primogénito de Jacob.
