• READ GEN 49:28-33 GEN 50:1-13 THE DEATH AND BURIAL OF JACOB
• THE FORTY DAYS REQUIRED FOR EMBALMING JACOB’S BODY AND THE SEVENTY DAYS OF MOURNING (50:3) MAY HAVE OVERLAPPED. HOWEVER, THESE TIME PERIODS ARE IN AGREEMENT WITH THE TRADITIONAL CUSTOMS IN EGYPT.
• THE THRESHING FLOOR OF ATAD (50:10) IS AN UNKNOWN LOCATION WHERE THEY EVIDENTLY HAD A MEMORIAL CEREMONY. THE EGYPTIANS NAMED IT ABEL-MIZRAIM WHICH MEANS “MOURNING OF EGYPT”.
• THE CAVE OF MACPHELAH
• THIS WAS A PLACE WHERE ABRAHAM, SARAH, ISAAC, AND LEAH WERE BURIED. IT WAS A CAVE THAT ABRAHAM BOUGHT WHEN SARAH DIED AS A PLACE TO BURY HER.
• READ GEN 50:14-26 THE END OF JOSEPH’S LIFE
• THE REACTIONS OF JOSEPH’S BROTHERS
• WHEN JACOB (ISRAEL) DIED, JOSEPH’S BROTHERS BECAME AFRAID THAT NOW JOSEPH WOULD RETALIATE AGAINST THEM FOR THEIR BETRAYAL WHEN HE WAS A TEENAGER.
• THE COMPLETION OF JOSEPH’S FORGIVENESS
• JOSEPH WAS SAD THAT HIS BROTHERS HAD NOT FULLY ACCEPTED AND BELIEVED IN HIS FORGIVENESS.
• JOSEPH REASSURES THEM OF THE PROVIDENCE AND SOVEREIGNTY OF GOD IN THEIR LIVES. GEN 50:20 IS THE EQUIVALENT OF ROM 8:28.
• READ ROM 8:28
• JOSEPH A PREFIGURE OF JESUS CHRIST

JOSEPH AND HIS BROTHERS	JESUS CHRIST AND HIS FAMILY OF BELIEVERS
JOSEPH MUST REASSURE HIS BROTHERS OF HIS FORGIVENESS AND PROVISION. GEN 50:17-21	JESUS CONTINUALLY REASSURES US OF HIS FORGIVENESS AND PROVISION. 1JOH 1:9

• JOSEPH ADOPTED MANASSEH’S GRANDSONS JUST AS JACOB ADOPTED HIS 2 SONS, MANASSEH AND EPHRAIM. (50:23)
• REMEMBER THAT THE REASON FOR THIS WAS TO INSURE THAT SUBSEQUENT GENERATIONS WOULD BE TIED TO THE PROMISED LAND BY INHERITANCE.
• THE BURIAL OF JOSEPH
• JOSEPH WAS TEMPORARILY BURIED IN EGYPT WITH THE EXPECTATION THAT HIS BONES WOULD EVENTUALLY BE RETURN ED TO THE PROMISED LAND JUST AS JACOB WAS.
• JOSEPH’S BONES WERE TAKEN TO THE PROMISED LAND BY MOSES IN THE EXODUS. HE WAS EVENTUALLY BURIED IN SHECHEM.
• READ EXO 13:19
