And lives in the land of Egypt. How long does he live there for? >> 17 years. >> He comes for an extended period of time. 17 years 130 till 147. And the time came for Israel to pass away. He calls his son Yseph and he tells him I find favor in your eyes. Swear to me, you'll do with me. You'll do with me kindness and truth. Don't bury me in Egypt. That is what the says.

But he uses a very specific uh set of words here and that's really what I want to use as our jumping off point. You'll do with me You'll do with me kindness and truth. Do with me kindness and truth and bury me in don't bury me here in Egypt. So let me read to you the words of Rashi. Rashi gives us a beautiful insight. What is he asking for when he says that a person does with those that have passed away? That is a of truth. Why? because he is not waiting to get repaid. So says to his son, I want you to do with me kindness and truth. Don't bury me in Egypt. That's a kindness I can never pay you back for because it will be after he's already passed away. The kindness you do with the dead is a of so
