This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Gen_50:16 And they sent a messenger unto Joseph, saying, Thy father did command before he died, saying,
Ver. 16. Thy father did command, &c.] It is a just question, whether there were ever a true word of all this. For Jacob, probably, never knew how ill they had used Joseph, as is above said. But if this had been his command howsoever, as they pretend, would not Jacob have spoken himself for them to Joseph before he died? "Fear of man" causeth lying, {Zep_3:13} and so "brings a snare to the soul." {Pro_29:25}
