Genesis 50:24

Context

50:24 Then Joseph said to his brothers, “I am about to die. But God will surely come to you 1  and lead you up from this land to the land he swore on oath to give 2  to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.”

Genesis 50:26

Context
50:26 So Joseph died at the age of 110. 3  After they embalmed him, his body 4  was placed in a coffin in Egypt.

1 tn The verb פָּקַד (paqad) means “to visit,” i.e., to intervene for blessing or cursing; here Joseph announces that God would come to fulfill the promises by delivering them from Egypt. The statement is emphasized by the use of the infinitive absolute with the verb: “God will surely visit you.”

2 tn The words “to give” are supplied in the translation for clarity and for stylistic reasons.

3 tn Heb “son of a hundred and ten years.”

4 tn Heb “he.”
