Day 29 - Read Genesis 49-50

Jacob called his sons to his side and gave each a blessing. He said Joseph would be set apart as the great descendant of Jacob. He commanded his sons to bury him where Abraham, Sarah, Isaac, Rebekah, and Leah were buried in Canaan. He laid back into the bed and died. Joseph received permission from Pharaoh to take his father to Canaan as he promised his father. Joseph, his brothers, and many servants and elders went to bury and mourn Jacob. Joseph’s brothers were concerned Joseph would seek revenge for their evil deeds. He comforted them and explained how God used their evil deeds to save many. Joseph lived to be 110.
