Jacob's Burial and Joseph's Death
Joseph sought permission from Pharoah to take his father's body to Canaan. A contingent of the royal family traveled with Joseph to bury his father.
The cave in Machpelah is where Abraham, Sarah, Isaac, Rebekah and Leah are buried with Jacob.
Then they returned to Egypt.
Afterward, his brothers became worried that Joseph would harm them for their past selling him into slavery. But Joseph reminded them that this was God's will and not their evil. He protected them until he died at the age of 110.
This is the site of the cave where Abraham, Sarah, Isaac, Rebekah, Jacob, and Leah are buried.
