א – How does יוסף react when יעקב is נפטר?
Falls on his face, cries and kisses him.
ב – What did יוסף command should be done to יעקב?
Embalm him.
ג – How long did they embalm him? How long did they cry in מצרים?
40 days embalming + 30 days crying = 70 days
ג – Why did the מצרים cry for יעקב?
Because when he came the famine had ended and the Nile would rise.
ד – Who did יוסף speak to?
The household of פרעה (not directly to פרעה)
ה – What did יוסף ask?
Ask פרעה permission to go bury my father and return as he had made me swear.
ה - What does "אשר כריתי לי" mean?
Dug or bought. (also pile because יעקב made a pile of money for עשו)
ו – What did פרעה respond?
Go bury your father as you swore.
ו - Why only “as you swore”?
פרעה had to let him so that יוסף wouldn’t break his oath not to reveal that he knew more languages than פרעה.
ז – Who from מצרים came along?
The servants of פרעה’s household – the elders and all the elders of מצרים.
ח – What was left behind?
The brother’s young children and sheep & cattle.
ט - What else came along?
Chariots & riders.
י – Where did they come to? Where was it?
גרן העטד, across the ירדן
י - Why was it called גרן האטד?
It was surrounded by thorns, or because of the crowns of the kings that came to do battle but instead put their crowns on top of the coffin & looked like thorns
יא – What did the people of כנען say?
This is a serious mourning for מצרים.
יג – Who from the family did not carry the ארון of יעקב? Why?
Grandchildren – born from כנעני women, יוסף – a king, לוי – will eventually carry the ארון. מנשה & אפרים took their place.
