“And Jacob dwelt in the land wherein his father was a stranger, in the land of Canaan.”
Jacob lived in the land where his father had stayed, the land of Canaan. The simple statement — Jacob lived where his father Isaac lived — is the covenant continuity that frames the Joseph narrative. The son of Isaac, the grandson of Abraham, lives in the promised land. The application: the covenant location is the starting point of the covenant story. Jacob is in Canaan, where the covenant belongs.
