6 And Joseph died, and all his brethren, and all that generation.
6 Now Joseph and all his brothers and all that generation died,
6 Then Joseph died, and all his brothers and all that generation.
6 Then Joseph died, and all his brothers - that whole generation.
6 And Joseph died, all his brothers, and all that generation.
6 In time, Joseph and all of his brothers died, ending that entire generation.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Exodus 1:6
Commentary on Exodus 1:1-7
(Read Exodus 1:1-7)
During more than 200 years, while Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob lived at liberty, the Hebrews increased slowly; only about seventy persons went down into Egypt. There, in about the same number of years, though under cruel bondage, they became a large nation. This wonderful increase was according to the promise long before made unto the fathers. Though the performance of God's promises is sometimes slow, it is always sure.
