4 I will go down with thee into Egypt; and I will also surely bring thee up again: and Joseph shall put his hand upon thine eyes.
4 I will go down to Egypt with you, and I will surely bring you back again. And Joseph's own hand will close your eyes."
4 I myself will go down with you to Egypt, and I will also bring you up again, and Joseph's hand shall close your eyes."
4 I'll go with you down to Egypt; I'll also bring you back here. And when you die, Joseph will be with you; with his own hand he'll close your eyes."
4 I will go down with you to Egypt, and I will also surely bring you up again; and Joseph will put his hand on your eyes."
4 I will go with you down to Egypt, and I will bring you back again. You will die in Egypt, but Joseph will be with you to close your eyes."
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Genesis 46:4
Commentary on Genesis 46:1-4
(Read Genesis 46:1-4)
Even as to those events and undertakings which appear most joyful, we should seek counsel, assistance, and a blessing from the Lord. Attending on his ordinances, and receiving the pledges of his covenant love, we expect his presence, and that peace which it confers. In all removals we should be reminded of our removal out of this world. Nothing can encourage us to fear no evil when passing through the valley of the shadow of death, but the presence of Christ.
