Jacob, nearing the end of his life, blesses his children and grandchildren - again in fulfillment of the promises God made to him. He pronounces that God will continue to demonstrate His faithfulness to His promises in the recurring generations.
After Jacob's death, the brothers again fear that Joseph will take revenge for their earlier actions. Joseph demonstrates again and again that he has trusted God in the whole process; and that God has brought good out of intended evil. Joseph dies in Egypt after a long life - one in which he sees three generations of his own children.
