Abraham built altars at Shechem, Bethel, and Hebron (Genesis 12:6-8; 13:18), and Isaac built an altar at Beersheba (Genesis 26:23-25). Jacob built another altar at Shechem (Genesis 33:18-20) and also at Bethel (Genesis 35:6-7). After Joseph was sold into slavery by his brothers at Dothan and taken to Egypt, he rose to become second in command to Pharaoh himself (Genesis 37-41). Before he died, however, Joseph instructed his brothers to bury his bones back in Canaan (Genesis 50:25). This request was later fulfilled by the Israelites when they left Egypt during the Exodus and placed his bones in a tomb at Shechem (Joshua 24:32).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"602\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/biblemapper.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/PatriarchsInCanaan-602x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2546\" srcset=\"https:\/\/biblemapper.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/PatriarchsInCanaan-602x1024.jpg 602w, https:\/\/biblemapper.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/PatriarchsInCanaan-176x300.jpg 176w, https:\/\/biblemapper.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/PatriarchsInCanaan-768x1307.jpg 768w, https:\/\/biblemapper.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/PatriarchsInCanaan-903x1536.jpg 903w, https:\/\/biblemapper.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/PatriarchsInCanaan-1204x2048.jpg 1204w, https:\/\/biblemapper.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/PatriarchsInCanaan-1568x2668.jpg 1568w, https:\/\/biblemapper.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/PatriarchsInCanaan-scaled.jpg 1505w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 602px) 100vw, 602px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/biblemapper.com\/blog\/images\/hi-res\/PatriarchsInCanaan_high.jpg\">download hi-res file<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"photolauncher\" style=\"display:none;\" mapbasename=\"PatriarchsInCanaan\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and all of Jacob&#8217;s sons lived in Canaan, the land that the Lord promised to give to Abraham&#8217;s descendants (Genesis 12:1-9; 15:1-21), and several of the patriarchs (Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob) and their wives were buried in the family burial cave that Abraham purchased in Hebron (Genesis 23:19; 25:9; 50:1-14).
