Hawker's Poor man's commentary

Genesis 50:24

It was thus the fathers in the faith comforted their descendants with an assurance of GOD'S promises. One saint relates to another GOD'S covenant promises, and their dependence upon them. Thus Abraham to Isaac: and Isaac to Jacob: and Jacob to Joseph: and Joseph to his descendants. Reader! if believers now had faith in equal exercise, such would be our comforts in dying hours. Exodus 4:31; Psalms 27:13.
