 ==== How long was the mourning period for Jacob? Why is this significant? ====
 The mourning period of 70 days. This was very long and significant because the royal mourning period in Egypt was possibly only 72 days long, so Jacob (via Joseph) was given a high honor.

 No, Joseph does not relieve his brothers of their guilt but he says that God turned their evil to good.
-We know that
+We know that:
   * God can turn all evil to good.
   * Our lives are in the hands of God who can overturn all evil, not men.
   * By bringing the Israelites to Egypt, God saved them from dying to the famine or having the survivors being assimilated in the Canaanites. This ultimately allows the coming of the Messiah to save all mankind.
 ===== Joseph's Death (50-22 - 50-26) =====
-  * Joseph may never have been buried but rather sat in a coffin above ground as a reminder that the Israelites would eventually be led to the promised land.
+==== Was Joseph ever buried in Egypt? ====
+Joseph was embalmed and placed in a coffin but there is no indication that he was ever buried in Egypt. His coffin may have remained above ground as a reminder that the Israelites would eventually be led to the promised land.
