Connection with the LORD attending to Sarah
Joseph's "God will surely attend to you" doubles the Hebrew verb for force, paqod yifqod. It is the same verb used when the LORD attended to Sarah (Genesis 21:1), and Joseph used it in "God will surely visit you" too (Genesis 50:24).

The first readers knew what became of this field. Joseph, dying in Egypt, told his brothers, "God will surely attend to you, and then you must carry my bones up from this place" (Genesis 50:25). Generations later his bones "were buried at Shechem in the plot of land that Jacob had purchased from the sons of Hamor, Shechem’s father, for a hundred pieces of silver" (Joshua 24:32).
