Genesis 50

The Death of Joseph

22 Joseph stayed in Egypt, along with all his father’s family. He lived a hundred and ten years 23 and saw the third generation of Ephraim’s children. Also the children of Makir son of Manasseh were placed at birth on Joseph’s knees.[c]

24 Then Joseph said to his brothers, “I am about to die. But God will surely come to your aid and take you up out of this land to the land he promised on oath to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.” 25 And Joseph made the Israelites swear an oath and said, “God will surely come to your aid, and then you must carry my bones up from this place.”

26 So Joseph died at the age of a hundred and ten. And after they embalmed him, he was placed in a coffin in Egypt.

New International Version (NIV)(End of Scripture Passage)

Joseph finally dies, but requests that he , like his father, be buried in his own land.

And You Deliver Us From Our Fears.

According To Your Will and Promise.
We Beseech You on Behalf of Our Captive Brethren,

In Bondage in Hostile lands.

Psalm 101

Of David. A Psalm.

1 I will sing of loyalty and of justice;
to you, O Lord, I will sing.
2 I will study the way that is blameless.
When shall I attain it?

I will walk with integrity of heart
within my house;
3 I will not set before my eyes
anything that is base.

I hate the work of those who fall away;
it shall not cling to me.
4 Perverseness of heart shall be far from me;
I will know nothing of evil.

5 One who secretly slanders a neighbour
I will destroy.
A haughty look and an arrogant heart
I will not tolerate.

6 I will look with favour on the faithful in the land,
so that they may live with me;
whoever walks in the way that is blameless
shall minister to me.

7 No one who practises deceit
shall remain in my house;
no one who utters lies
shall continue in my presence.

8 Morning by morning I will destroy
all the wicked in the land,
cutting off all evildoers
from the city of the Lord.

Hallelujah and Amen !

Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem

Back in 2009, before I joined FR, I wrote an essay on "that other site" about the Tomb of The Patriarch Joseph. So, do you think I can find it now? I've been searching all morning with every key word I could think of, but it seems to be gone. How people can dredge up unfortunate tweets from years ago to destroy current politicians is a MYSTERY to me. In spite of this, I will try to reconstruct the essay as best as I can. It will be interesting if someone digs up the old article and accuses me of Plagiarism(LOL), as my screen name was different!

At the age of seventeen, Joseph was betrayed by his older half-brothers, who sold him to a traveling caravan. They assumed that as a slave in a far away land, they would not have to deal with him ever again. To cover up this hideous crime against their brother, they soaked his garment in blood and presented it to their father. The father Jacob was inconsolable in his grief.

Joseph survived the trip to Egypt and was sold to Potiphar, the Captain of the Guard. Again, Joseph survived and actually flourished in captivity. He proved so competent and respectful that Potiphar promoted him to the head of the household. Like cream rising to the top, Joseph was noticed by Potiphar's lustful wife. She began to sexually harass Joseph (who was a slave, and in no position to refuse her), but Joseph resisted. And so, she falsely accused Joseph of rape, and Joseph was thrown into the dungeon.

In prison, Joseph once again proved his integrity, and not only survived, but grew in stature with his jailers. Due to Joseph's reliance upon his God for guidance and wisdom, Joseph is brought to Pharaoh. His interpretation of Pharaoh's dreams are so accurate and prudent that Pharaoh makes Joseph a sort of Prime Minister, in charge of Egypt.

I won't recount the story of how Joseph is reconciled with his Father and Brothers, as we have just read it through, but we are given Joseph's last request in the Book of Genesis: He wants to be buried in his own Native Land. No matter how long it was going to take...and it was about to take over 400 YEARS, that was Joseph's dying wish.

Fortunately for Joseph, he died in a land where funerary rituals could help insure that his mortal remains could be kept intact until the time came to move him. Joseph was mummified in the Egyptian Manner, in the style befitting his station, and kept among the Hebrews till they could bring him home.

Generations went by, and the Hebrews became too numerous for the Egyptians. Joseph's role in saving the country was soon forgotten, and the Hebrews were enslaved. By the time God finally raised up Moses to free His People, most of their traditions had been forgotten. But, somehow, the mummified body of Joseph was ready for transport when the time came to leave Egypt.

Through the Red Sea, across the Sinai, during the building of the Ark of the Covenant and the Tabernacle, for 40 years the body of Joseph was carried along until it crossed the Jordan with Joshua and the Conquest of Canaan. The mummified body of Joseph was finally laid to rest in Shechem, (Now called Nablus) and surrounded by a modest tomb. At least, the modest tomb has been believed to be the Tomb of Joseph since before anyone can remember otherwise...and that's all that matters.

Anyway, the little Tomb in Shechem has been there since forever, and survived the Babylonians, the Greeks, the Romans, the rise of Islam, the Crusades, the Ottoman Empire, WW1, WW2, Israel's War of Independence, The Six-Day War, and The Yom Kippur War.

However, in our Modern Era a disgusting act of vandalism has destroyed the Tomb. Arab residents of the area (now in the West Bank) have vandalized and burned the Tomb of Joseph (in 2009, and again in 2010 and 2015). Palestinian Authority officials charged with the protection of Holy Places have turned a blind eye to this desecration.

It seems that the Israelis have fixed it up again, from current photographs, but this event enraged me to no end at the time! Yesterday was Columbus Day, and I witnessed so many people denigrating Columbus, calling him a "racist" and a "rapist" and a whole lot of other epithets. Like the vandalism of the Tomb of Joseph, revisionists and haters want to vandalize our History.

Don't let it happen.

Come and Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem, For Our FRiends in Need, For Persecuted Believers, and For Our Beloved Nation.

Speaking of the tomb of Joseph, my husband and I had been playing 20 questions about famous people. We had just watched The Ten Commandments. He asked me if my person made an appearance in the movie. I said, not in the flesh. He asked me if he made a “bone” appearance. Yes—he got it. Joseph.

Joining in prayer for the Peace of Jerusalem and for our beloved America.

God sees all—they will never get away with re-writing history.

"Joseph's Tomb in Nablus"

_

ND And Joseph dwelt in Egypt, he, and his father's house: and Joseph lived an hundred and ten years. < And Joseph saw Ephraim's children of the third generation: the children also of Machir the son of Manasseh were brought up upon Joseph's knees. < And Joseph said unto his brethren, I

die: and God will surely visit you, and bring you out of this land unto the land which he sware to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.

And Joseph took an oath of the children of Israel, saying, God will surely visit you, and ye shall carry up my bones from hence.

So Joseph died, being an hundred and ten years old: and they embalmed him, and he was put in a coffin in Egypt. font size="2">
