Genesis 50:12-13 - Exposition

And his sons —the Egyptians halting at Goren Atad (Keil, Havernick, Kalisch, Murphy, etc.); but this does not appear from the narrative— did unto him according as he commanded them (the explanation of what they did being given in the next clause): for his sons carried him —not simply from Goren Atad, but from Egypt, so that this verse does not imply anything about the site of the Buckthorn threshing-floor ( vide supra, Genesis 50:11 )— into the land of Canaan, and buried him in the cave of the field of Machpelah, which Abraham bought with the field for a possession of a burying-place of Ephron the Hittite, before Mature ( vide Genesis 23:1-20 .).
