Genesis 50:1

And Joseph fell upon his father's face, and wept upon him, and kissed him. Joseph fell upon his father's face - Though this act appears to be suspended by the unnatural division of this verse from the preceding chapter, yet we may rest assured it was the immediate consequence of Jacob's death.
