QUESTION: Where was Joseph buried?

ANSWER: Joseph died in Egypt at the age of an hundred and ten, was embalmed and placed in a coffin (Genesis 50:26). We learn in Genesis 50:24-25, that Joseph had given commandment that when God would bring the children of Israel into the land that He had promised his fathers, his bones would also be taken out of Egypt. This was fulfilled by Moses (Exodus 13:19). In Joshua 24:32, we learn the Joseph’s bones were finally buried in the city of Shechem.
