“And all the house of Joseph, and his brethren, and his father’s house: only their little ones, and their flocks, and their herds, they left in the land of Goshen.”
Besides all the members of Joseph's household and his brothers and those belonging to his father's household. Only their children and their flocks and herds were left in Goshen. The completeness of the accompanying party — all Joseph's household, all the brothers, all belonging to Jacob's household — is the full covenant family accompanying the patriarch's bones to Canaan. The application: the covenant community accompanies its dead to the promised land in full.
