Today is the 4th Sunday after Denaha - "All departed priests" day. Today's Gospel reading is about the faithful servant and the evil servant - Matthew 24:42-51
Genesis 50 : Burial of Jacob
Jacob dies and everyone mourns including the Egyptians. They embalm his body and with the king's permission, Joseph and family go back to Canaan. They bury Joseph in the same cave that he wanted to be buried in, the cave that Abraham had bought.
After their father's death, the brothers are reluctant to go with Joseph fearing that he might take revenge. Joseph comes to know of this and assures his brothers that he has no ill feeling towards them and that everything happened as per God's wish. They go back to Egypt and live there.
After many years, When Joseph is about to die, he asks his sons to take his body to Canaan when God leads them there in the future. Joseph dies at the age of 110.
