Now Joseph
The mention of "Joseph" here is significant as it marks the transition from the narrative of Genesis to the unfolding account of Exodus. Joseph, whose name in Hebrew is יוֹסֵף (Yosef), meaning "He will add," was a pivotal figure in the history of Israel. His life story, filled with trials and triumphs, exemplifies God's providence and faithfulness. Joseph's leadership in Egypt not only saved his family during a time of famine but also set the stage for the Israelites' eventual enslavement and deliverance. His death signifies the end of an era of favor and the beginning of a period of oppression for the Israelites.

and all his brothers
The phrase "and all his brothers" refers to the sons of Jacob, the patriarchs of the twelve tribes of Israel. Each brother represents a tribe, and their collective death marks the passing of the founding generation of the Israelite nation. This transition is crucial as it underscores the shift from the individual accounts of the patriarchs to the collective experience of the Israelites as a people. The Hebrew word for "brothers" is אַחִים (achim), which emphasizes the familial bond and shared heritage that would continue to define the identity of the Israelites.

and all that generation
The phrase "and all that generation" indicates the passing of an entire era. This generation, which had witnessed God's promises to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and had experienced the miraculous provision through Joseph, was now gone. The Hebrew term for "generation" is דּוֹר (dor), which can also imply a cycle or period. This highlights the cyclical nature of history and God's unfolding plan. The death of this generation sets the stage for the new developments in Exodus, where God will raise up Moses to lead His people out of bondage, fulfilling His covenant promises.

died
The word "died" is a stark reminder of the mortality of even the most significant biblical figures. In Hebrew, the word is מֵת (met), which simply means to die or perish. This serves as a humbling reminder of the transient nature of human life and the enduring nature of God's promises. The death of Joseph and his brothers signifies the end of their earthly journey but also points to the continuity of God's plan through successive generations. It is a call to trust in God's sovereignty and faithfulness, knowing that His purposes transcend individual lifespans and are ultimately fulfilled in His perfect timing.

Verse 6. - And Joseph died. Or, "So Joseph died" - a reference to Genesis 1:26 - and all his brethren. All the other actual sons of Jacob - some probably before him; some, as Levi (ch. 6:16), after him. Joseph's "hundred and ten years" did not constitute an extreme longevity. And all that generation. All the wives of Jacob's sons, their sister Dinah, and the full-grown members of their households who accompanied them into Egypt.
