His sons carried him into the land of Canaan This implies that the place of the seven days’ mourning was not in Canaan proper, though on its border, where the Canaanites (Genesis 50:11) could observe their excessive lamentations . The Egyptian escort probably waited at Abel-mizraim, while the sons of the great patriarch carried him to the ancient tomb of Machpelah, (see on Genesis 23:9,) and deposited his embalmed body by the dust of Abraham and Sarah, Isaac and Rebekah, where also he had buried Leah . Genesis 49:31. And there, perhaps, that embalmed body still remains, and may be identified when Moslem fanaticism permits a careful and thorough examination of that ancient cave at Hebron.
