Yaakov's monologue in Parshat Vayechi comprises three parts:

a. Mention of the blessing of "the Almighty God" (El Sha-dai) to Yaakov (3-4)

b. Status bestowed on Ephraim and Menasheh like that of Yaakov's sons for the purposes of inheritance (5-6)

c. Mention of the death and burial of Rachel (7)

Through an examination of the significance of each part and the connections between them, we can learn an important lesson about the inheritance of the Land of Israel.
