After all the family fights and arguments we have seen in the Book of Bereishit, this chapter gives a peaceful end to the story. Jacob is finally reunited with his beloved son Joseph, and meets his grandsons for the first time. This is the only time in the Torah we see a grandfather together with his grandchildren in this way. He blesses them, and then, just before he dies, he also blesses his twelve sons.<\/p>\n

He is buried in the cave of Machpelah with his parents Isaac and Rebecca, and his grandparents Abraham and Sarah.<\/p>\n

After their father’s death, the brothers worry that Joseph will take revenge for what they did to him all those years ago. So Joseph explains to his brothers again that he forgives them. Joseph also promises his brothers that God will eventually bring the family back to the Israel, and then he dies.<\/p>\n

With this, the story of Abraham’s family concludes, and we are ready to begin a new age \u2013 the birth of Israel as a nation \u2013 in the Book of Shemot.<\/p>\n
