**wept.** See note on [Genesis 42:24](../../../kjv/genesis/42/24) .

**Israel.** See notes on [Genesis 32:28](../../../kjv/genesis/32/28) ; [Genesis 43:8](../../../kjv/genesis/43/8) ; [Genesis 45:26](../../../kjv/genesis/45/26) , [Genesis 45:28](../../../kjv/genesis/45/28) .

**for so, &c.** Israelites never embalmed. Hence the need of this *parenthetical* explanation.

**Joseph spake.** He could not speak before, for, in mourning, Egyptians never shaved, and Joseph, therefore, was not presentable. See on [Genesis 41:14](../../../kjv/genesis/41/14) .

**digged.** Hence, probably rock-hewn.

**And.** Note the Figure of speech *Polysyndeton* ( App-6 ), emphasizing each party.

**Atad.** Probably named after the owner, as [2 Samuel 6:6](../../../kjv/2-samuel/6/6) , "Nachon's"; [2 Samuel 24:16](../../../kjv/2-samuel/24/16) , "Araunah's".
**Abel-mizraim** = the mourning of the Egyptians.

**his sons . . . buried him.** See note on [Acts 7:16](../../../kjv/acts/7/16) .
**bought.** Compare [Genesis 23:10](../../../kjv/genesis/23/10) .

The final section of Genesis.

**Joseph wept.** See note on [Genesis 42:24](../../../kjv/genesis/42/24) .

**fell down.** Compare [Genesis 37:7-10](../../../kjv/genesis/37/7-10) .
**Behold.** Figure of speech *Asterismos.* App-6 .

**am I, &c.** Figure of speech *Erotesis* . Septuagint reads "I am in the place of God". The Syriac and Arab, read "I fear God".

**God meant it, &c.** Compare [Psalms 105:17](../../../kjv/psalms/105/17) . Hebrew. *Elohim.* App-4 .
**alive.** See on [Genesis 45:5](../../../kjv/genesis/45/5) .

**kindly.** Hebrew spake unto their hearts.

**Machir.** Compare [Numbers 26:29](../../../kjv/numbers/26/29) ; [Numbers 32:39](../../../kjv/numbers/32/39) . [Joshua 17:1](../../../kjv/joshua/17/1) .
**brought up, &c.** Hebrew born. See [Genesis 30:3](../../../kjv/genesis/30/3) , *i.e.,* were adopted by him as soon as they were born.

**surely visit you.** ([Exodus 3:16](../../../kjv/exodus/3/16) .) Figure of speech *Polyptoton.* Hebrew "visiting will visit you"; used for great emphasis. See note on [Genesis 26:28](../../../kjv/genesis/26/28) . This was the faith of Joseph referred to in [Hebrews 11:22](../../../kjv/hebrews/11/22) . He had "heard" ([Romans 10:17](../../../kjv/romans/10/17) ) and believed what God had said to Abraham. [Genesis 12:7](../../../kjv/genesis/12/7) ; [Genesis 15:18](../../../kjv/genesis/15/18) ; [Genesis 13:14](../../../kjv/genesis/13/14) , [Genesis 13:15](../../../kjv/genesis/13/15) ; [Isaiah 26:3](../../../kjv/isaiah/26/3) , [Isaiah 26:4](../../../kjv/isaiah/26/4) ; Jam 28:13 ; Jam 35:12 ; Jam 48:1-4 . All three names are united and discriminated in [Exodus 2:24](../../../kjv/exodus/2/24) ; [Exodus 3:6](../../../kjv/exodus/3/6) . [Psalms 105:9](../../../kjv/psalms/105/9) , [Psalms 105:10](../../../kjv/psalms/105/10) . And compare [Exodus 6:3](../../../kjv/exodus/6/3) , [Exodus 6:4](../../../kjv/exodus/6/4) .[Deuteronomy 11:21](../../../kjv/deuteronomy/11/21) .[Luke 1:72](../../../kjv/luke/1/72) , [Luke 1:73](../../../kjv/luke/1/73) , &c.

**carry up my bones from hence.** Which they did. See [Exodus 13:19](../../../kjv/exodus/13/19) . [Joshua 24:32](../../../kjv/joshua/24/32) . So Jacob had charged them. [Genesis 49:29](../../../kjv/genesis/49/29) , [Genesis 49:30](../../../kjv/genesis/49/30) , and so they had done, [Genesis 50:7-13](../../../kjv/genesis/50/7-13) .
**hence.** Some codices, with Samaritan Pentateuch, Septuagint, Syriac, and one printed edition (1494), add "with you".

**a coffin.** Thus the book of Genesis begins with God, and ends with man. It begins with the creation of the heavens above, and ends with "a coffin in Egypt".
