June 30, 2010 – Genesis 48:12-49

This is Jacob oral will.  Telling his sons what will become of them, what he wants them to do, what he wants done when he dies.  When you look back over history, what people want done with their bodies after they die has always been a big deal.  The pyramids are a great example.  For as long as there has been civilization, people had wanted something done with their bodies after death.
