Kli Yakar on Exodus
"And Moses took the bones of Joseph with him": this verse is juxtaposed to the previous verse "the jews ascended(Egypt) armed. because it states in the midrach Yalkut of this portion that the jews would journey in the desert with two arks, that of the ark of the Shechinah(the tablets of moses) and that of Joseph and the nations of the world would ask , what is the point of having this ark of joseph together with the ark of the coveneant and they would answer,"this one fulfilled what is in this one", for joseph fulfilled all the ten commandments etc.
