An overview of the passing and burial of Yaakov Avinu, beginning with his concern that lice from the Ten Plagues might affect his body, despite the teaching of Chazal in Maseches Bava Basra that Yaakov was among the tzaddikim over whom decay and infestation had no power. The presentation continues with a remarkable calculation of the period from Yosef’s passing until the burial of his bones in Shechem, 194 years later, and concludes with an analysis of the brothers’ claim that Yaakov instructed Yosef not to bear resentment against them, explained according to the pshat of the pesukim.
