Joseph, a man of exemplary character, lived 110 years, marked by honesty, integrity, faithfulness, and wisdom. Among all the remarkable events of his life, God highlights a singular act of faith in Hebrews 11, occurring at the very end of his life. This act, more significant to God than any other of Joseph's qualities or experiences, was his mention of the departing of the children of Israel and his commandment concerning his bones. Despite his high honor and esteem in Egypt, where he could have received a grand burial akin to royalty, Joseph chose not to be glorified in death. Instead, due to his faith, he left instructions for his remains to be removed from Egypt. Joseph's faith was rooted in the words of God relayed to him through his father, Jacob, or his grandfather, Isaac. He believed the promises given to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob about the land and the future of their descendants. Joseph trusted that God would judge the strangers whom the children of Israel would serve, bring them out of that strange land, and lead them into the Promised Land. This belief prompted his final instructions, ensuring that his bones would not remain in Egypt but be carried to the ancestral lands as a testament to his faith in God's promises.
