Genesis 48-50
- And Genesis ends with the death of Jacob/Israel, followed shortly by Joseph. What in the world was the purpose f the long list Jacob gave his sons before they died? Was it some kind of instruction on what they were to do & where they were to go in their lives after his death? Also, their mourning & funeral process and timeline seems tediously long. I know it's meant to respect and honor the dead, and that the grieving process can take a while but for it to be as such so publicly seemed so dramatic.
