Genesis 46:4
_ _ 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.

_ _ 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. |
Genesis 46:4
I will go down with thee into Egypt — Those that go where God sends them shall certainly have God with them. And I will surely bring thee up again — Tho' Jacob died in Egypt, yet this promise was fulfilled, In the bringing up of his body to be buried in Canaan. In the bringing up of his seed to be settled in Canaan. Whatever low and darksome valley we are called into, we may be confident if God go down with us, he will surely bring us up again. If he go with us down to death, he will surely bring us up again to glory. And Joseph shall put his hand upon thine eyes — That is a promise that Joseph should live as long as he lived, that he should be with him at his death, and close his eyes with all possible tenderness. Probably Jacob, in the multitude of his thoughts within him, had been wishing that Joseph might do this last office of love for him; and God thus answered him in the letter of his desire. Thus God sometimes gratifies the innocent wishes of his people, and makes not only their death happy, but the very circumstances of it agreeable. |

I will (b) go down with thee into Egypt; and I will also surely (c) bring thee up [again]: and Joseph shall (d) put his hand upon thine eyes.

(d) Shall shut your eyes when you die: which belongs to him that was most dear or chief of the kindred. |
