The promise was made to [Jacob](rc://en/tw/dict/bible/names/jacob), but the promise would be fulfilled to all of Israel's descendants.

The phrase "close you eyes with his own hand" is a way of saying that Joseph will be present when Israel dies and it will be Joseph who will close [Jacob](rc://en/tw/dict/bible/names/jacob)'s eyelids at the time of his death. AT: "Joseph will even be present with you at the time of your death" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-idiom]])

# will close your eyes

It was a custom to pull down the eyelids when a person died with their eyes open. The full meaning of this statement can be made explicit. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit]])
