Genesis 50:22 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 50:22

And Joseph dwelt in Egypt, he, and his father's house
Comfortably, quietly, and in great prosperity, not only he, but his brethren and their families, as long as he lived:

and Joseph lived one hundred and ten years;
and all but seventeen of them in Egypt, for at that age it was when he was brought thither: thirteen years he lived in Potiphar's house, and in prison, for he was thirty years of age when he was brought to Pharaoh, and stood before him, and fourscore years he lived in the greatest honour and prosperity that a man could well wish for.

Genesis 50:22 In-Context

20 Even though you planned evil against me, God planned good to come out of it. This was to keep many people alive, as he is doing now.
21 Don't be afraid! I will provide for you and your children." In this way he reassured them, setting their minds at ease.
22 Joseph and his father's family stayed in Egypt. Joseph lived to be 110 years old.
23 He saw his grandchildren, Ephraim's children. Even the children of Machir, son of Manasseh, were adopted by Joseph at birth.
24 At last Joseph said to his brothers, "I'm about to die. God will definitely take care of you and take you out of this land to the land he swore with an oath to give to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob."
