Israelite Era Gen ch50

Jacob is embalmed and transported with dignity up to his father's double cave (macphelah) and mourned. Joseph reassures his brothers of no retaliation and establishes forgiveness. Joseph's body is placed in a coffin in Egypt, ending the book of Genesis. The household and children and their cattle are left in Goshen. Later after the Exodus, Joshua would return here according to Joshua 10:41. During the Gospel events, the reference to Rachel who intercedes for her children by the road near Bethlehem Ephratha is commemorated when the saints pray "so that she would be of assistance to her children.” Also " “When the Ishameilis led Yosef to Egypt he prayed at his mother’s gravesite on the way, and she comforted him and encouraged him to continue on the journey.” Also see Matthew 2:18. https://dinonline.org/2021/01/01/prayer-at-gravesites/
