Commentary on Exodus 13:19

Theological / Devotional

The bones of Joseph. Although here and in the narrative of the burial of Joseph’s remains at Shechem (Joshua 24:32) no mention is made of the other sons of Jacob, Stephen’s statement before the Sanhedrin seems to imply that all the fathers “were carried over into Sychem” (Acts 7:15, 16). That the children of Israel preserved Joseph’s remains and fulfilled his request for burial in Canaan (see Gen. 50:24-26) shows that they had apparently never lost sight of the promise of deliverance.
