Israel goes to Egypt and sees Joseph, his son once again. When he\xa0meets with phararoh, Israel identifies himself as a shepherd, which\xa0means that the Egyptians will set them apart in the land. Joseph buys all the\xa0land in Egypt for pharaoh in exchange for feeding the people,\xa0and the people are grateful.
Israel begins to prepare for his death and makes Joseph promise to\xa0bury him outside of Egypt and in the land of his forefathers.
