Commentary on the Bible · Written before 1832.

The elders of his house - Persons who, by reason of their age, had acquired much experience; and who on this account were deemed the best qualified to conduct the affairs of the king’s household. Similar to these were the Eldermen, or Aldermen, among our Saxon ancestors, who were senators and peers of the realm. The funeral procession of Jacob must have been truly grand.

This site's exposition

Then Joseph went to bury his father

on Genesis 50:7-9

Pharaoh's servants and the elders of Egypt head the list. Joseph's household follows, the children and the flocks stay behind in Goshen, and chariots and horsemen go up toward Canaan. Exodus reverses both, with the little ones and the flocks going out at 10:9 and the chariots following at 14:6.
