Exodus 1:6 And Joseph died, and all his brothers, and all that generation. In one of Nathaniel Hawthorne's note-books there is a remark as to qualifying men by some common quality or circumstance that should bring together people the most unlike in other respects, and make a brotherhood and sisterhood of them. "First by their sorrows; for instance, whenever there are any, whether in fair mansion or hotel, who are mourning the loss of friends. Secondly, all who have the same maladies, whether they lie under damask canopies, or on straw pallets, or in the-wards of hospitals. Then proceed to generalize and classify all the world together, as none can claim other exemption from either sorrow, sin, or disease; and if they could, yet death, like a great parent, comes and sweeps them all through one darksome portal — all his children." (H. O. Mackey.) Parallel Verses KJV: And Joseph died, and all his brethren, and all that generation.WEB: Joseph died, as did all his brothers, and all that generation. |
