4. I will also surely bring thee up again--As Jacob could not
expect to live till the former promise was realized, he must have seen
that the latter was to be accomplished only to his posterity. To
himself it was literally verified in the removal of his remains to
Canaan; but, in the large and liberal sense of the words, it was made
good only on the establishment of Israel in the land of promise.
Joseph shall put his hand upon thine eyes--shall perform the
last office of filial piety; and this implied that he should henceforth
enjoy, without interruption, the society of that favorite son.
