It is remarkable that God revealed to Jacob where he would die, and that his beloved son Joseph would be at his bedside, to “close [his] eyes”.
His grandfather Abraham was told that his descendants would be “strangers in a foreign land, where they [would]be oppressed as slaves for 400 years”, and that God would deliver them by a mighty hand. But it appears Abraham kept that to himself.
“So Jacob set out for Egypt with all his possessions…”
