Matthew Henry Commentary - “Death is not far from any of us. Jacob's care (at this time) … was about his burial … (that) he would be buried in Canaan, because it was the land of promise. It was a type of heaven, that better country. Nothing will better help to make a death-bed easy, than the certain prospect of rest in the heavenly Canaan after death. (Now to us today) Christ Jesus gives us the true bread, that we may eat and live for ever. To Him let us come and yield ourselves, and when we draw near to death, he who supported us through life, will meet us and assure us of everlasting salvation.”
