Genesis 50:1-26
There are three main events that take place: Jacob's burial, the brothers' forgiveness, and Joseph's final requests.
Jacob's directions were followed to the letter - Pharaoh even gave Joseph time off to bury him.
The brothers began to realize that, with Jacob gone, there was nothing to prevent Joseph from exacting retribution. He didn't, though. He forgavethe brothers mercifully & kindly.
Lastly, Joseph asked that his body be taken to the promised land when the others and their descendants leave. He asked that he be dug up before they leave and later found.
