End

I finished Genesis last night. It ended with the death of Jacob and Joseph. And I was impressed with the time that they gave their mourning. For Jacob, it took 40 days to embalm him, then they mourned him for 70 days, then they travelled to Canaan to bury him. While in Canaan they observed a 7 day period of mourning with loud and bitter lamentations. Then they travelled back to Egypt.
