Study note
Setting — The narrator concludes the account of Jacob’s family entering Egypt to mark the end of the founding generation before describing the rapid population growth of the Israelites.
The words — וַיָּמָת (va/i.Ya.mot) = and he died and הַדּוֹר הַהוּא (ha.Dor ha.Hu') = that generation.
The thread — Genesis 50:26 records Joseph’s death and embalming in Egypt, while Acts 7:14 references the family migration that sets this generational transition in motion.
Why it lands — The verse states the death of the patriarchs to create a narrative break, asking the reader to note the chronological shift from a single family to a multiplying nation.
