Matthew Poole and continuators on Genesis 48:21

21 And Israel said unto Joseph, Behold I die : but God shall be with you, and bring you again unto the land of your fathers .

(i. e.) I am about to die. The present time for that which will shortly and certainly be, as Gen. 19. 13. and 20. 3. I[illegible: 1+ letters]. 14. 2.

(i. e.) Canaan, their Land, 1. By habitation, as Nazareth is called Christs Countrey, because he dwelt in it. 2. By the donation of God, who had promised and would in his time give the actual possession of it to them, i. e. to their seed.
