This site's exposition
So Jacob's sons did as he had charged them
on Genesis 50:12-13
The sons do exactly as their father charged them. Twelve brothers carry one body into Canaan together. The book that opened with a brother killing a brother in a field closes with all of them at one grave. The writer names the purchase again, the field Abraham bought from Ephron the Hittite.
The record, by era
The Puritans and the Awakening1 voice
And his sons did unto him according as he commanded them. Not only Joseph, but all the sons of Jacob were concerned in the burial of him, being all charged by him with it, and who were obedient to his commands as follows; see Gen 49:29.
