Footnotes

  1. Genesis 50:26 Joseph’s body remained in Egypt until the exodus to the promised land of Canaan about 200 years later. Its final resting-place was Shechem, near Samaria, “in the parcel of ground which Jacob bought from the sons of Hamor, the father of Shechem” (Josh. 24:32). Here each of his brothers was also buried (Acts 7:15, 16).
