Joseph mourns Jacob, embalms him, takes him to Canaan for burial at Machpelah as requested. Brothers fear Joseph’s revenge, but Joseph declares: “You meant evil against me, but God meant it for good, to bring about that many people should be kept alive.” Joseph reassures them. He lives 110 years, seeing great-grandchildren. Before death, he prophesies God will bring Israel back to Canaan, making them swear to carry his bones up. Joseph dies, is embalmed, placed in a coffin in Egypt.
