Introduction to the Book of Exodus
Jacob and Joseph’s Death (Genesis Begins With Life But Ends With Death) – Genesis Chapter 50
After Jacob tells his twelve sons what will become of their tribal families, he closes his eyes in death. Joseph has his body embalmed and asks the pharaoh for permission to bury his father in the Land of Canaan. He is accompanied by a great entourage from Egypt and they mourn many days the death of Jacob. In time, Joseph dies and makes his brothers to promise to take his remains to the Land of Canaan, when the Lord brings the tribal family of Israel back to the Land of Promise.
Jacob’s Prophetic Blessings to His Sons Before Death- Genesis Chapter 49
After Jacob blesses Joseph and his two sons (Genesis 48), he calls all of his sons to his bed to give a prophetic word concerning their tribal families in the future. He emphasizes how that one day the tribe of Judah and a descendant from Judah will eclipse even Joseph to reign over the entire world. But, for the near future, Joseph’s tribal family (Ephraim) will have the preeminence. Finally, he charges them all to bury him in the ancestral tomb, and the light goes out from Jacob’s eyes and he dies.

Our Teaching Perspective
We know that everyone does not have a seminary background. And sometimes the jargon and language can be a little bit confusing. But who doesn’t want a really good understanding? So, our “style” (teaching approach) is focused on simple instruction. But, at the same time, the more advanced learners will also find a wealth of enriching information.
