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.

Genesis 50:24 In-Context

22 Yosef lived in Mitzrayim, he, and his father's house. Yosef lived one hundred ten years.

23 Yosef saw Efrayim's children to the third generation. The children also of Makhir, the son of Menashsheh, were born on Yosef's knees.

24 Yosef said to his brothers, "I am dying, but God will surely visit you, and bring you up out of this land to the land which he swore to Avraham, to Yitzchak, and to Ya`akov."

25 Yosef took an oath of the children of Yisra'el, saying, "God will surely visit you, and you shall carry up my bones from here."

26 So Yosef died, being one hundred ten years old, and they embalmed him, and he was put in a coffin in Mitzrayim.
