In Parashat Vayehi Yaakov prepares for his death by taking three distinct actions:
First, he ensures that he will be buried in the Land of Israel;
Second, he blesses Yosef’s two sons, which also offers him the opportunity to discuss Rachel’s death and burial with Yosef;
Third, he turns to each of his sons individually, with a combination of a blessing and a final command, setting goals for each as he blesses them.
