The Hebrew root for "buried" is קָבַר (qabar), which implies a respectful and solemn act of laying someone to rest. Joseph's actions reflect his deep respect and love for his father, Jacob, and his adherence to the cultural and familial duties of the time. This moment also signifies the end of an era for the family, as Jacob was a patriarch whose life and faith had a profound impact on his descendants.<p><b>he returned to Egypt</b><br />Joseph's return to Egypt signifies a return to his responsibilities and life in a foreign land where he had risen to a position of great power. Egypt, in the biblical narrative, often represents a place of both refuge and trial for the Israelites. Joseph's journey back to Egypt underscores his role as a leader who must balance his personal grief with his public duties. It also foreshadows the eventual enslavement of the Israelites, setting the stage for the Exodus narrative.<p><b>with his brothers</b><br />The inclusion of Joseph's brothers in this phrase highlights the unity and reconciliation that had been achieved within the family. Despite their earlier betrayal, Joseph's forgiveness and leadership have brought them together. This unity is crucial for the survival and future of the Israelite people. The brothers' presence also emphasizes the importance of family and community in fulfilling God's promises.<p><b>and all who had gone with him to bury his father</b><br />This phrase indicates that a large entourage accompanied Joseph, reflecting his high status in Egypt and the respect accorded to Jacob. The group likely included Egyptian officials and servants, illustrating the integration of Joseph's Hebrew heritage with his Egyptian life. This diverse assembly underscores the widespread impact of Jacob's legacy and the respect he commanded, even in a foreign land. It also serves as a reminder of God's providence in bringing Joseph to a place where he could save his family and many others during a time of famine.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/j/joseph.htm">Joseph</a></b><br>The favored son of Jacob, who rose to power in Egypt.
