Joseph was eminent for his faith, though he had not enjoyed the helps for it which the rest of his brethren had. He was tried by temptations, by sin, by persecution, for retaining his integrity.

Commentary on the Bible (1832)

Joseph, when he died - Τελευτων, When he was dying, gave commandment concerning his bones. On this subject I refer the reader to the notes on Gen 50:25 (note). And I have this to add to the account I have given of the sarcophagus now in the British Museum, vulgarly called Alexander’s coffin, that it is more probably the coffin of Joseph himself; and, should the time ever arrive in which the hieroglyphics on it shall he interpreted, this conjecture may appear to have had its foundation in truth.
