Then Joseph went to bury his father
on Genesis 50:7-9
The children and the flocks stay behind in Goshen, which holds the company to its return. Chariots and horsemen go up with them toward Canaan. Exodus reverses both, with the little ones and the flocks going out at 10:9 and the chariots following at 14:6.
