At the point when you get to the furthest limit of Genesis, you find that Abraham's burial chamber is very full. As Michael stated, Sarah was interred there, and afterward Abraham, Isaac, Rebekah, and Leah (Gen. 49:29-31); and afterward, Jacob went along with them (Gen. 50:13). The book of Genesis finishes with a full burial chamber, yet the 4 Evangelists' writings end with an unfilled burial chamber! Jesus has vanquished passing and removed its sting (1 Cor. 15:55-58I). Given His triumph, we need not dread passing or the grave.
