And Jacob lived in the land of Egypt seventeen years, and the length of his life was 147 years. Context 28Jacob lived in the land of Egypt seventeen years; so the length of Jacob’s life was one hundred and forty-seven years. 29When the time for Israel to die drew near, he called his son Joseph and said to him, “Please, if I have found favor in your sight, place now your hand under my thigh and deal with me in kindness and faithfulness. Please do not bury me in Egypt, 30but when I lie down with my fathers, you shall carry me out of Egypt and bury me in their burial place.” And he said, “I will do as you have said.” 31He said, “Swear to me.” So he swore to him. Then Israel bowed in worship at the head of the bed. Links Genesis 47:28 NIVGenesis 47:28 NLT Genesis 47:28 ESV Genesis 47:28 NASB Genesis 47:28 KJV Genesis 47:28 Commentaries Bible Hub |
