Genesis 50:8 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 50:8

And all the house of Joseph, and his brethren, and his father's

there must be some servants left, though they are not mentioned, to take care of the little ones, and of the flocks and herds; and these being left behind, plainly show they intended to return again, and did not make this an excuse to get out of the land.
