Now Joseph
The name "Joseph" in Hebrew is "Yosef," meaning "He will add." This name is prophetic of Joseph's life, as God continually added blessings and responsibilities to him. Joseph's journey from favored son to slave, and then to a powerful leader in Egypt, exemplifies God's providence and faithfulness. His life is a testament to the truth that God can use any circumstance for His purposes.

and his father’s household
This phrase refers to the family of Jacob, also known as Israel. The household of Jacob, which included his sons and their families, had moved to Egypt during a time of famine. This relocation was part of God's plan to preserve the lineage of Israel and fulfill His covenant promises. The presence of Jacob's household in Egypt sets the stage for the future enslavement and eventual Exodus, a pivotal event in Israel's history.

remained in Egypt
The Hebrew word for "remained" can also be translated as "dwelt" or "settled." This indicates a sense of permanence and stability. Although Egypt was not the Promised Land, God had a purpose for Israel's sojourn there. It was a place of growth and multiplication for the Israelites, preparing them for their eventual return to Canaan. This period in Egypt is a reminder of God's sovereignty and His ability to work through unexpected circumstances.

and Joseph lived
The phrase "Joseph lived" highlights the longevity and fulfillment of Joseph's life. Despite the trials he faced, Joseph's life was marked by God's favor and blessing. His ability to live a full life in Egypt, a foreign land, underscores the theme of God's provision and protection. Joseph's life serves as an example of faithfulness and integrity, even in challenging environments.

to the age of 110
In ancient Near Eastern culture, living to the age of 110 was considered a sign of divine blessing and favor. This age signifies a complete and fulfilled life. Joseph's long life allowed him to witness the growth of his family and the unfolding of God's promises. It also symbolizes the completion of his earthly journey and the legacy he left for future generations. Joseph's life and age remind believers of the hope and assurance found in God's eternal plan.

Verse 22. - And Joseph dwelt in Egypt, he, and his father's house: and Joseph lived an hundred and ten years. Wordsworth notices that Joshua, who superintended the burial of Joseph in Shechem, also lived 110 years. Joseph's death occurred fifty-six years after that of Jacob.
