How did the children of Israel bring Joseph's back to the Promise land?

The Egyptians embalmed their honored dead, and Joseph was embalmed after he died. The Hebrews took Joseph's embalmed body back, wrapped up so it would not fall apart, or evaporate after decades in the desert. Today, dead people are often embalmed after they die so they can be transported a long distance from where they died to where they will be buried.
