According to the author of the book of Joshua, this verse shows how Joseph's bones were finally buried in a special land that had been bought by his family a long time ago. It tells us that his family was keeping a promise and giving Joseph his own special place in the land God had given them.

Joshua 24:32: And the bones of Joseph, which the children of Israel brought up out of Egypt, buried they in Shechem, in a parcel of ground which Jacob bought of the sons of Hamor the father of Shechem for an hundred pieces of silver: and it became the inheritance of the children of Joseph. [pieces...: or, lambs]

Contradiction with Genesis 33:19

This verse states that Jacob bought the field from the children of Hamor, contradicting the concept that Joseph's bones were buried in a place exclusively linked to property purchased by the Israelites rather than their ancestors.

Genesis 33:19: And he bought a parcel of a field, where he had spread his tent, at the hand of the children of Hamor, Shechem's father, for an hundred pieces of money. [Hamor: Gr. Emmor] [pieces...: or, lambs]

Contradiction with Acts 7:16

This verse suggests that the bones were carried over to Sychem and laid in a grave bought by Abraham, contradicting Joshua 24:32 which states Jacob bought the land, not Abraham.

Acts 7:16: And were carried over into Sychem, and laid in the sepulchre that Abraham bought for a sum of money of the sons of Emmor [the father] of Sychem.
