Commentary on Genesis 46:30

Theological / Devotional

Now let me die. Not that Jacob wished to die, but that he was now completely satisfied. Having seen Joseph with his own eyes, and knowing that his beloved son’s happiness was assured, he felt that life could offer him no greater joy. The last earthly longing of his heart was completely satisfied, and he was ready to lay down his life whenever and wherever God saw fit.
