Genesis 46:4 Summary

This verse is a promise from God to Jacob that He will be with him and his family in Egypt, and that He will bring them back to the Promised Land. God is reassuring Jacob that He will take care of him and his family, and that He has a plan to make them into a great nation. This promise is reminiscent of God's earlier promises to Abraham in Genesis 12:2 and Genesis 15:5. Just as God was with Jacob, He is also with us, guiding and protecting us, as seen in Psalm 23:4 and Isaiah 43:2.

Frequently Asked Questions

This phrase means that God will be with Jacob and his family in Egypt, guiding and protecting them, just as He was with them in Canaan, as seen in Genesis 28:15 and Genesis 31:3.

How can God promise to bring Jacob back to Canaan if he is old and will likely die in Egypt?

God's promise to bring Jacob back refers to the eventual return of his descendants to the Promised Land, as seen in Genesis 15:13-14 and Exodus 2:24-25.

No, God's promise is not a contradiction, but rather a fulfillment of His earlier promises, as seen in Genesis 12:2 and Genesis 15:5, which speak of Abraham's descendants becoming a great nation.

Gill's Exposition on Genesis 46:4

I will go down with thee into Egypt,.... Which was enough to silence all his fears; for if the presence of God went with him to protect and defend hide, to bless and prosper him, and to direct,

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Genesis 46:4

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. I will ... surely bring thee up again.

Matthew Poole's Commentary on Genesis 46:4

I will bring thee up again, though not in thy person, yet in thy body, ,30 50:5,13; and in thy posterity, which are a part of thyself, or thyself multiplied. Joseph shall put his hand upon thine eyes; shall close thy eyes; which office was usually performed by the nearest and dearest relations of the dying party among the Jews, Greeks, and Romans. Hereby Jacob is assured that he should die in peace, and that Joseph both now was alive, and should survive his father.

Trapp's Commentary on Genesis 46:4

Genesis 46:4 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.Ver. 4. I will go down with thee.] That was as good security as could be. For if Caesar could say to the fearful ferryman, in a terrible storm, Be of good cheer, thou carriest Caesar, and therefore canst not miscarry; how much more may he presume to be safe that hath God in his company! A child in the dark fears nothing while he hath his father by the hand. And I will also surely bring thee up again.] So saith God to his dying people when they are to enter into the grave. He will surely bring them back from the jaws of death to the joys of eternal life. Yea, by rotting, he will refine their frail bodies; as the goldsmith melts a picture of gold, or bruised piece of plate that is out of fashion, to make it up better. And Joseph shall put his hand upon thine eyes.] An ancient and an honourable custom, in use among the Romans also, as Pliny tells us. The eyes are commonly open, lift up to heaven, when men are dying; unless they be such as that pope was, who, breathing out his last, said, Now I shall know whether the soul be immortal, or not. Or that desperate advocate in the court of Rome, mentioned by Bellarmine, who, dying, used these words, Ego propero ad inferos, neque est, ut aliquid pro me agat Deus. But Jacob had hope in his death; and Joseph had the honour of closing up those eyes, that shall shortly "see God" again "in the flesh." Perge contra tempestatem forti animo: Caesarem fers, et fortunam Caesaris. Sic Benedic. IX, Alexander VI, and Leo X. - Bell., De Arte Moriendi, lib. ii. cap. 10.

Ellicott's Commentary on Genesis 46:4

(4) Joseph shall put his hand upon thine eyes.—Both among the Jews and Greeks it was the duty of those nearest in blood to close the eyes of a deceased relative. The promise conveyed the assurance that Jacob would die peacefully, surrounded by his friends. For the fulfilment see Genesis 1:1.

Cambridge Bible on Genesis 46:4

4. I will go down] The promise of the Divine presence is the assurance of safety and blessing. God is no mere local god of Canaan. He will be with His people, where they are; whether in Mesopotamia (Genesis 31:13), in Palestine (Genesis 35:3), or in Egypt. bring thee up again] i.e. from Egypt back into Canaan. The pronoun “thee” must surely be understood of the people descended from, and personified by, Jacob, and identified with his name. It does not predict his burial in Canaanite land. The words may best be illustrated from Genesis 50:24, and not from Genesis 50:13. They foretell the Exodus of the Israelites, not the burial of Jacob. put his hand … eyes] The last tender office performed by the nearest relative. The promise is fulfilled; see Genesis 50:1.

Whedon's Commentary on Genesis 46:4

4. I will go down with thee into Egypt — And if God be with us, who can be against us? And I will also surely bring thee up — “Wonderfully worded promise!
