Read Genesis 50.15-26.
Joseph once again forgives his brothers.
In verse 18: The brothers's words are here as your slaves, unintentionally anticipates the slavery of the Israelites in Egypt in Ex 1.8-14.
In verses 19-21: Joseph's words sound the overriding theme of the Joseph story: the diven ability to guide events and to turn evil into good.
In verse 25: The book of Genesis ends with the promise to Joseph that his body would be buried in the land of Canaan.
The Israelites fulfill the promise in Ex 13.19 and Josh 24.32.
