That God makes good out of everything - including the bad things. We will be forgiven for our trepasess as well if God allows it, which means we are reptentant, also? I only remember the "you all will be forgiven" part at the end of 50.

lots, but most importantly is the Messianic lineage of Tribe of Judah's royal inheritance, the Messianic Lineage the Promise of the Messiah of Gen. 3 with the woman's seed,Christ ..and 50:20 pretty much sums up God...through Joseph, HE is the Savior and no one but HIM can rescue..HE has always had a plan and uses HIS to fulfill....:)justme

1. Jacob suffered for many years having lost his favourite wife at a young age, Joseph having been kidnapped and imprisoned for 22 years (as far as he knew, Joseph was dead)- yet he still managed to live out his last 17 years in complete serenity. 2. G-d prepares the cure before the illness. Joseph uprooted Egyptians from their homes to pay for food during the famine years. This made the host nation a little weaker, which helped mitigate the effects of the slavery that would follow. 3. Menasseh and Ephraim, who grew up in a foreign culture held firm to their family's beliefs- so much so that Jacob blessed his descendants to be like these two, rather than like the tribes who had grown up in the perfect setting of Canaan. Lesson: You can succeed anywhere, regardless of the circumstances. 4. Even when Jacob is upset at Simon and Levi he curses their anger, rather than cursing them. Lesson: Tackle the issue, not the person. 5. Judah's royal line will never disappear. 6. Jacob's funeral procession is joined by various leaders of nations. Lesson: A truly righteous person inspires all types of people- even without meeting them. 7. Joseph tells his brothers that, despite their bad intentions, G-d had a plan that brought good to the whole family in the end.
