Gen. 50:1–3 Jacob’s body was embalmed so that it could be transported to Hebron. The seventy days of mourning reflects Egyptian royal practice. Jacob is being shown great honor.
Gen. 50:7–9 Probably because Joseph was highly respected, the funeral procession includes a large number of prominent Egyptian officials and public figures.
Gen. 50:10–11 Coming to the threshing floor of Atad, the funeral procession halts to mourn for seven days. The expression beyond the Jordan could place Atad in either Canaan or Transjordan.
Gen. 50:12–14 These verses confirm that Jacob’s request (49:29–32) was carried out.
Gen. 50:15–17 Afraid to address Joseph face-to-face, the brothers send a message confessing their guilt and seeking his forgiveness.
Gen. 50:18–21 Probably encouraged by news of Joseph’s kind response to their message, the brothers came and fell down before him. Once again, their bowing and their words, Behold, we are your servants, fulfill Joseph’s dreams (37:5–10). Echoing what he had already said (see 45:5–9), Joseph stresses that God transformed their evil into good. Many people have been kept alive as a result. The principle that God ultimately overrules human sin for his glory and the good of mankind is important in Scripture (Acts 3:13–26; Rom. 8:28). Joseph’s gracious, forgiving attitude unites the family.
Gen. 50:22–23 Joseph lives long enough to see the grandchildren or great-grandchildren of Ephraim. The precise meaning of third generation is unclear.
Gen. 50:24–26 With death near, Joseph makes arrangements for his bones to be taken to Canaan. Later, Moses fulfills this instruction (Ex. 13:19), and Joseph’s remains are eventually buried at Shechem (Josh. 24:32).
