” It says in the Torah that Yaacov himself said he is about to die. ?????? ??????????????? ??????? ??????? ???????? ???? ??????????? ??????? ?????????? ???? ????????? ????????? ???????? ?????????????? ????????? ?????????????? ????????????? ?????????? ????????????? and his sons saw that their father died. ??????????? ?????????????? ????????? ????????? ????????????? ???? ????????????? ??????? ????????? ???????? ?????? ???? ?????????????? ??????? ??????????? ???????

“The Ramban himself is not saying that Yaacov is alive forever he himself says alive spiritually. But on the words of Rashi he is saying that “to them (the shevatim) he was dead or perhaps they did not know all of this”

Right. So according to Rashi, as the Ramban understands him, the above psukim can’t be proof texts that he died. Of course, that does NOT mean that he understands Rashi as saying that he is literally alive or buried alive.
