13. 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 (Gen_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 Gen_23:9,) and deposited his embalmed body by the dust of Abraham and Sarah, Isaac and Rebekah, where also he had buried Leah. Gen_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.
