Genesis 48 - Jacob blesses Joseph's sons, putting the younger before the older. Joseph objects, but that's what God did for Jacob over Esau. Jacob also puts Joseph above his brothers - for now.
49 - Jacob gathers his sons and rebukes the 3 oldest, giving Judah the ruling scepter. Jacob dies.
50 - They bury him in Canaan, Egypt honoring him. Joseph's brothers fear retribution and beg for forgiveness. Joseph gives it, pointing to God's providence. Joseph dies and promises God will take Israel up from Egypt.
