Genesis 49:33

And when Jacob had made an end of commanding his sons, he gathered up his feet into the bed, and yielded up the ghost, and was gathered unto his people.

Ver. 33. He gathered up his feet.] He quietly composed himself, as it were, to sleep in Jesus. He had stretched out himself before, saith Musculus, as well as he could, for reverence to the word of God, which he delivered, &c.

And was gathered unto his people.] To "the general assembly and Church of the firstborn, whose names are written in heaven." Heb 12:23 In Jerusalem, records were kept of the names of all the citizens. Psa 87:5 So is it in heaven, where Jacob is now a denizen.
