Genesis 49-29-33 50-1-26 Death and Future Hope - 10:1:23, 12.49 PM

At the end of the book of Genesis, we read that Jacob dies and his body is taken to the promised land in a grand procession. We also read that Joseph asked that his body be taken into the promised land as well. However, rather than being taken immediately after his death, Joseph asks that his body go into the promised land when the chilren of Israel go and occupy the land. In the death of the patriarchs, there is tremendous hope for the future.
