Exodus 1:6

_AND JOSEPH DIED, AND ALL HIS BRETHREN, AND ALL THAT GENERATION._ Joseph died, and all his brethren, and all that generation, х_ DOWR_ (H1755), a circle; Septuagint, genea] - signifies not a generation, consisting of thirty years, but, as Rosenmuller explains it, 'the sum total of the lives of contemporary individuals;' or, as Knobel says, 'a century.' Joseph lived to see (Genesis 50:23) the fourth generation flourishing; and his death occurred about seventy years after the immigration into Egypt. Levi was probably the last survivor of that generation (Exodus 6:16)....

6._And Joseph died. _The Rabbins ignorantly conclude from this expression that Joseph died first of his brethren, whereas it is evident that the others were passed over, and his name was expressly mentioned to do him honor, as being the only one then in authority. How long they survived their father, Moses does not say, but only marks the beginning of the change, — as much as to say, the Israelites were humanely treated for a considerable space of time; so that the condition of those who went down with Jacob was tolerable, since, free from all injustice and tyranny, they tranquilly enjoyed the hospitality accorded to them. At the same time, he gives us to understand that, when all that generation was gone, the desire and the memory of the land of Canaan, which they had never seen, might have died out of the minds of their descendants, if they had not been forcibly aroused to seek after i...

1-7 During more than 200 years, while Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob lived at liberty, the Hebrews increased slowly; only about seventy persons went down into Egypt. There, in about the same number of years, though under cruel bondage, they became a large nation. This wonderful increase was according to the promise long before made unto the fathers. Though the performance of God's promises is sometimes slow, it is always sure....

Verse Exodus 1:6. _JOSEPH DIED, AND ALL HIS BRETHREN_] That is, Joseph had now been some time dead, as also all his brethren, and all the Egyptians who had known Jacob and his twelve sons; and this is a sort of reason why the important services performed by Joseph were forgotten....

THE OPPRESSION OF ISRAEL IN EGYPT, WITH THE BIRTH AND EARLY LIFE OF MOSES. EXPOSITION EXODUS 1:1 The Book of Exodus, being written in continuation of the history recorded in Genesis, is carefully connected with it by a recapitulation. The recapitulation involves three points:— 1. The names of Jacob's children; 2. The number of Jacob's descendants who went down into Egypt; and 3. The death of Joseph. Exodus 1:1 are a recapitulation of...

AND JOSEPH DIED, AND ALL HIS BRETHREN,.... It is a notion of the Jews, that Joseph died before any of his brethren, Genesis 50:26 and they gather it from these words; but it does not necessarily follow from hence, they might die some before him and some after him; and as they were all born in about seven years' time, excepting Benjamin, they might all die within a little time of each other: according to the Jewish writers d, the dates of their death were these, "Reuben lived one hundred and twenty four years, and died two years after Joseph; Simeon lived one hundred and twenty years, and died the year after Joseph; Levi lived one hundred and thirty seven years, and died twenty four years after Joseph; Judah lived one hundred and nineteen years, Issachar one hundred and twenty two, Zebulun one hundred and twenty four, and died two years after Joseph; Dan lived one h

The transition from the fortunes of a family, such as were the subject of the narratives of Gen., to the events of a people's history, such as Ex. is concerned with, is happily marked by the altered rendering children of Israel (7) for the Heb. phrase rendered sons of Israel (1). Exodus 1:1 gives the size of the group from which all the increase came. The round n

AND JOSEPH DIED, AND ALL HIS BRETHREN, &C.— The sacred historian means to say here, that Joseph had now been some time dead, with all his brethren, as well as all the Egyptians who had seen and known him, and were convinced of the obligations which the whole country lay under to him. This preamble, says Calmet, refers to the reign of the new king, mentioned Exodus 1:8 the commencement of whose reign may be fixed fifty-eight years after the death of Joseph....
