V. 22.— By faith Joseph, when he died, made mention of the departing of the children of Israel: and gave commandment concerning his bones. Joseph, the next example, when dying, expressed his confidence in the departure of the children of Israel from Egypt that they might obtain the inheritance which God had promised them, and gave commandment concerning his bones, Genesis 1:24-25, Exodus 13:19. Joseph’ s conduct, in regard to his bones, was not only a proof of his own faith, but was calculated to confirm the faith of his brethren that God would deliver them. This might be disregarded in prosperity, but remembered when oppressed.
