Here is, I. The preparation for Jacob’s funeral, Genesis 50:1-50:6. II. The funeral itself, Genesis 50:7-50:14. III. The settling of a good understanding between Joseph and his brethren after the death of Jacob, Genesis 50:15-50:21. IV. The age and death of Joseph, Genesis 50:22-50:26. Thus the book of Genesis, which began with the origin of light and life, ends with nothing but death and darkness; so sad a change has sin made. MHBCC 51.1
