Heb. 11:22• 22By faith Joseph, when he died, made mention of the departing of the children of Israel; and gave commandment concerning his bones. (Heb. 11:22)
• At dying, Joseph's faith was still in blessed exercise; and though all seemed exceedingly well in Egypt - had almost in reverence of the Egyptians, and with all the plenty of the best part of the land - much, very much more was needed before the full answer to the promises of God would be realized. Boundless stores of far richer grace were still laid up for the heirs of promise, and faith could be satisfied with nothing less than this - the full development of promises partially fulfilled. The land of Canaan, rich with its teeming full-ripe fruits, and royal display, is Israel's hope; and the faith of those whose portion this is, alone rests there. (“Joseph and His Brethren: Part 8” by F.T. Heath)
