Notes
- Genesis 50 covers both the death of Jacob and Joseph.
- Book of Genesis starts with life, ends with death
- It’s ok to grieve, but we should not grieve like those who have no hope.
- Jacob and Joseph were treated like royalty, same grieving process for 70 days typically reserved for royal family.
- Brothers were scared Joseph would seek revenge so they made up a story that Jacob said he should forgive them.
- At Josephs death he told his people that this was a temporary place and God would send someone to lead them out of Egypt.
