Listen "020 | Jacob's blessings and death (Genesis 48:1-50:26)"
Episode Synopsis
The events we're exploring today took place around 1700-1600 BCE, during what historians call the Middle Bronze Age. This was a time when Egypt was a dominant power in the region, and the relationship between the Egyptian empire and the nomadic Hebrew peoples was complex and evolving.
