Episode Synopsis

Jacob prophetically tells the outcome of each of the tribes of Israel. In this, Jacob foretells of the coming of Christ out of the tribe of Judah which will be the royal tribe. Jacob dies and is buried by his sons in the land of Canaan. Israel returns to Egypt and all in the land mourn for Jacob. We hear from Dr. John Bergsma and Dr. Brandt Pitre in discussing the overarching theme of the "Joseph Cycle." We turn to St. John Chrysostom to see the foreshadowing of Jacob's last words for each of the tribes of Israel.
