The burial of Jacob - Genesis 50

Gen50
What a burial!
I just can't get over the fact that "all the servants of Pharaoh, the elders of his household and all the elders of the land of Egypt, and all the household of Joseph and his brothers and his father's household; they left only their little ones and their flocks and their herds in the land of Goshen. There also went up with him both chariots and horsemen; and it was a very great company."...almost the whole Egypt went to mourn for Jacob..."they lamented there with a very great and sorrowful lamentation" the Canaanites were affected also.
What a legacy! What a legend!
His life touched so many people. Even in a nation who don't know God, God's promise and God's name was made famous.
