Genesis 46:26-49:13

Jacob moves to Egypt c. 1876 BC

A few days ago we saw that the Egyptians would not eat with Joseph or his brothers. Genesis 46:34 gives us more insight on why that was. You should also be able to predict what happens to Joseph's family after the famine passes and the Pharaohs and the Egyptians forget about what Joseph did for them.

Because of what they had done in previous years, Israel didn't have anything blessings for his oldest sons: Reuben, Simeon, and Levi. However, what about Judah? After all, he was the one who sold Joseph into slavery. Perhaps he changed his ways later in life. It was Judah who interceded on Benjamin's behalf when Joseph was testing his brothers in chapter 44.
