Genesis 47:30

But I will lie with my fathers ,.... Abraham and Isaac, whose bodies lay in the land of Canaan, where Jacob desired to be buried; partly to express his faith in the promised land, that it should be the inheritance of his posterity; and partly to draw off their minds from a continuance in Egypt, and to incline them to think of removing thither at a proper time, and to confirm them in the belief of their enjoyment of it; as well as to intimate his desire after, and faith in the heavenly glory he was going to, of which Canaan was a type:

and thou shalt carry me out of Egypt ; into the land of Canaan:

and bury me in their burying place ; in the burying place of his fathers, in the cave of Machpelah, near Hebron; see Genesis 49:30 ,

and he said, I will do as thou hast said ; Joseph promised his father to fulfil his request, and do as he had desired of him.
