Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Genesis 49:29

_ _ he charged them — The charge had already been given and solemnly undertaken (Genesis 47:31). But in mentioning his wishes now and rehearsing all the circumstances connected with the purchase of Machpelah, he wished to declare, with his latest breath, before all his family, that he died in the same faith as Abraham.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Genesis 49:28-33.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Genesis 49:29

I am to be gathered unto my people — Though death separate us from our children, and our people in this world, it gathers us to our fathers, and to our people in the other world. Perhaps Jacob useth this expression concerning death, as a reason why his sons should bury him in Canaan, for (saith he) I am to be gathered unto my people, my soul must be gone to the spirits of just men made perfect, and therefore bury me with my fathers Abraham and Isaac, and their wives.
