Commentary on Genesis 50:7

Theological / Devotional

Joseph went up. The king’s permission having been granted, the corpse was carried to Canaan, attended by a large company. With Joseph, there went up the leading officers of the court, together with all members of the family. As an escort through the desert and into the foreign land of Canaan, a large company of chariots and horsemen probably accompanied them. The splendid retinue of Egyptian officers may be explained, in part, from the esteem in which Joseph was held in Egypt and, in part, from the fondness of the Egyptians for such funeral processions.
