Genesi 50:6 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 50:6

And Pharaoh said
To Joseph, by the courtiers that waited upon him at Joseph's request, who having delivered it to him had this answer: go up, and bury thy father, as he made thee swear;
the oath seems to be the principal thing that influenced Pharaoh to grant the request, it being a sacred thing, and not to be violated; otherwise, perhaps, he would not have chosen that Joseph should have been so long absent from him, and might have thought a grave in Egypt, and an honourable interment there, which he would have spared no cost to have given, might have done as well, or better.

Genesi 50:6 In-Context

4 E quando i giorni del lutto fatto per lui furon passati, Giuseppe parlò alla casa di Faraone, dicendo: "Se ora ho trovato grazia agli occhi vostri, fate giungere agli orecchi di Faraone queste parole:
5 Mio padre m’ha fatto giurare e m’ha detto: Ecco, io mi muoio; seppelliscimi nel mio sepolcro, che mi sono scavato nel paese di Canaan. Ora dunque, permetti ch’io salga e seppellisca mio padre; poi tornerò".
6 E Faraone rispose: "Sali, e seppellisci tuo padre come t’ha fatto giurare".
7 Allora Giuseppe salì a seppellire suo padre; e con lui salirono tutti i servitori di Faraone, gli Anziani della sua casa e tutti gli Anziani del paese d’Egitto,
8 e tutta la casa di Giuseppe e i suoi fratelli e la casa di suo padre. Non lasciarono nel paese di Goscen che i loro bambini, i loro greggi e i loro armenti.
