Joseph Returns to Egypt
Jacob receives a royal burial, even the local Canaanites took note of what was happening (Genesis 50:11).
This was Joseph’s first trip back to his homeland in thirty-nine years, and it’s too bad it had to be for his father’s burial. But he didn’t linger in Canaan, for God had given Joseph a job to do in Egypt, and that’s where he belonged with his family.
Genesis 50:14New American Standard Bible: 1995 Update
After he had buried his father, Joseph returned to Egypt, he and his brothers, and all who had gone up with him to bury his father.
