We end Genesis with chapters 46-50. Before Jacob heads to Egypt, he stops at Beersheba where Abraham and Isaac had settled, and from where Jacob left his home to go find a wife. The Lord spoke to him there and reminded him that He would go with him and bless him there, and that he would come back. The Lord also told him that Joseph would close his eyes. Including the two sons of Joseph, there were 70 members of Jacob's family that went to Egypt. They were allowed by Pharaoh to live in Goshen. Jacob blessed Joseph's sons, Ephraim and Manasseh, as if they were his own, and then he blessed all his sons. He gave instructions that they were to take his body back to the burial plot that Abraham and Sarah, Isaac and Rebekah, and Leah were located, and then he died. The family took his body to be buried in Canaan, and then they came back to Egypt. Joseph had forgiven his brothers because God had meant it for good in order to save lives. Joseph promised to provide for his brothers and their families. Joseph died at 110 years old, and he also had his brothers to pledge that one day they would take his bones from Egypt and bring them to the promised landÂ
