New Defender's Study Bible Notes

24:32 bones of Joseph. Joseph’s dying request was thus finally fulfilled (Genesis 50:25; Exodus 13:19).

24:32 ground which Jacob bought. Compare Genesis 33:19; Acts 7:15-16. Abraham presumably had originally bought this property from Hamor, but in the long absence of Isaac and Jacob, the Shechemites had taken possession of it again. Jacob then repurchased it.
