The Torah Portion In A Nutshell
Vayechi - “And He Lived”
Genesis 47:28–50:26
Before his death, Jacob pronounces blessings over all his sons. As a final request, Jacob asks his son Joseph to take his body back to the promised land to bury him there.
Jacob proceeds to bless the two Egyptian sons of Joseph. Though born in Egypt, they carry the DNA of their forefathers. Thus Jacob proclaims they are sons of Israel. A unique situation aris-es: Jacob literally adopts the two sons of Joseph as though they are his own. Jacob blesses Ma-nasseh and Ephraim, but does something unexpected: he crosses his arms and gives the firstborn blessing to Ephraim, the youngest. Joseph soon realises what his father has done and attempts to correct the first-born blessing to Manasseh. Jacob does not relent and insists, by almost a divine prophecy, that Ephraim is the most blessed son and the younger will rule over the older.
Jacob then blesses his remaining sons before he dies. His body is then taken by a large caravan of people to the promised land where he is buried in a cave. Joseph then dies in Egypt at the age of 110. He too instructs that his bones are to be taken out of Egypt and buried in the Holy Land, but this would not come to pass until the Israelites leave Egypt in the Exodus many years later.
