Commentary on Genesis 47:30

Theological / Devotional

Bury me. Though Jacob’s request was due in part to a deep-seated attachment to the ground where his ancestors lay buried, it was chiefly inspired by clear faith that Canaan was the true inheritance of Israel. He knew that his descendants would eventually return to the Land of Promise as their permanent home, and that Egypt offered them but a temporary refuge for the time of their necessity.
