The end of the book of Genesis talks about what happens to Joseph who is an example in several ways. However, the end of the book of Genesis shows us more about what happens to the line of Jacob. It is also interesting to note that it is not Joseph who will obtain the great blessing of Jacob, but Judah. He is going through a radical change. Him, the “junk” finally becomes the first person to offer himself as a substitute. This gesture will be experienced perfectly by someone of his lineage, Jesus.

The end of the book of Genesis is thus much more than a moving story, it is the masterful demonstration of God who, from the beginning of fallen humanity, shows with precision the details of the salvation accomplished by Christ.
