The Deaths of Jacob & Joseph
The story is ending. The last of the founding patriarchs are dying. This is a story of burials and not of births. Yet, hope remains. It remains in the hearts. It remains in the last request of Joseph to carry his bones back to the land of Canaan when God visits His people.

Only a Link In the Chain - By: Meditation on Deuteronomy 34:1-12

He was to die after seeing the land from the mountain top.
