Exodus 1:6

“And Joseph died, and all his brethren, etc.] It is a notion of the Jews, that Joseph died before any of his brethren, ((see Gill on “<015026>Genesis 50:26”)) and they gather it from these words; but it does not necessarily follow from hence, they might die some before him and some after him; and as they were all born in about seven years’ time, excepting Benjamin, they might all die within a little time of each other: according to the Jewish writers f4, the dates of their death were these, “Reuben lived one hundred and twenty four years, and died two years after Joseph; Simeon lived one hundred and twenty years, and died the year after Joseph; Levi lived one hundred and thirty seven years,…”
