Exodus 1:6
Now Joseph and all his brothers and all that generation died,
BSB
ASV
And Joseph died, and all his brethren, and all that generation.
KJV
And Joseph died, and all his brethren, and all that generation.
How long they survived their father, Moses does not say, but only marks the beginning of the change, -- as much as to say, the Israelites were humanely treated for a considerable space of time; so that the condition of those who went down with Jacob was tolerable, since, free from all injustice and tyranny, they tranquilly enjoyed the hospitality accorded to them.

Perhaps all Jacob's sons died much about the same time; for there was not more than seven years' difference in age between the eldest and the youngest of them, except Benjamin; and, when death comes into a family, sometimes it makes a full end in a little time.
