Genesis 50:24 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 50:24

And Joseph said unto his brethren, I die
Some time before his death he called them together, and observed to them, that he expected to die in a little time, as all must:

and God will surely visit you;
not in a way of wrath and vindictive justice, as he sometimes does, but in a way of love, grace, and mercy:

and bring you out of this land;
the land of Egypt, in which they then dwelt:

unto the land which he sware to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob;
meaning the land of Canaan, which he swore to those patriarchs that he would give to their posterity.
