Ibn Abbas Commentary

(When the caravan departed) when the caravan left al-'Arish, a township between Egypt and Canaan, (their father) Jacob (had said: Truly I am conscious of the breath of Joseph, though ye call me dotard) unless you say I am foolish, discredit me or disbelieve in what I say.

And as the caravan set forth leaving behind the palm fields of Egypt their father said to those of his sons and their children present ‘Truly I sense the scent of Joseph — which the east wind had brought to him with God’s permission across a distance of three or eight or more days’ journey; if only you did not think me doting’ if only you did not regard me as foolish you would believe me.
