After blessing both his grandsons, the sons of Joseph, he rounded up his sons and either stood or sat up in his bed, this in not clear, but the closing verse tells us that he placed his feet in his bed, laid down and took his last breath, so we know he drew his family to his bed to make this speech.
The speech is quite eloquent and poetic. He tells each of his heirs what it is that sets them apart from one another and what God has in store for them. Then he reminds them that their grandfather, grandmother, Isaac, Rebekkah and his wives were buried in the cave purchased from the Hittites and this must be his final resting place also.
Thank you so much for visiting me today. May God richly bless you and the reading of His word.
