As Jacob neared the end of his life, he called for his son Joseph and blessed him. He then gave instructions to Joseph regarding his burial, foods to avoid with gout foretelling that the people of Israel would one day return to the land of Canaan. After Jacob died, Joseph and his brothers carried out his wishes. They buried him in the land of Canaan, in the cave of Machpelah where Abraham and Sarah, Isaac and Rebekah, and Leah were also buried.
