1
And Joseph[H3130]fell[H5307] upon his father's face[H6440], and wept[H1058] upon him, and kissed[H5401] him.
2
And Joseph[H3130]commanded[H6680] his servants[H5650] the physicians[H7495] to embalm[H2590] his father[H1]: and the physicians[H7495]embalmed[H2590]Israel[H3478].
3
And forty[H705]days[H3117] were fulfilled[H4390] for him; for so are fulfilled[H4390] the days[H3117] of those which are embalmed[H2590]: and the Egyptians[H4714]mourned[H1058] for him threescore and ten[H7657]days[H3117].
4
And when the days[H3117] of his mourning[H1068] were past[H5674], Joseph[H3130]spake[H1696] unto the house[H1004] of Pharaoh[H6547], saying[H559], If now I have found[H4672]grace[H2580] in your eyes[H5869], speak[H1696], I pray you, in the ears[H241] of Pharaoh[H6547], saying[H559],
5
My father[H1] made me[H6912]swear[H7650], saying[H559], Lo[H2009], I die[H4191]: in my grave[H6913] which I have digged[H3738] for me[H6912] in the land[H776] of Canaan[H3667], there shalt thou bury[H6912]me[H6912]. Now therefore let me[H6912] go up[H5927], I pray thee, and bury[H6912] my father[H1], and I will come again[H7725].
6
And Pharaoh[H6547]said[H559], Go up[H5927], and bury[H6912] thy father[H1], according as he made thee swear[H7650].
7
And Joseph[H3130] went up[H5927] to bury[H6912] his father[H1]: and with him went up[H5927] all the servants[H5650] of Pharaoh[H6547], the elders[H2205] of his house[H1004], and all the elders[H2205] of the land[H776] of Egypt[H4714],
8
And all the house[H1004] of Joseph[H3130], and his brethren[H251], and his father's house[H1004]: only their little ones[H2945], and their flocks[H6629], and their herds[H1241], they left[H5800] in the land[H776] of Goshen[H1657].
9
And there went up[H5927] with him both chariots[H7393] and horsemen[H6571]: and it was a very[H3966]great[H3515]company[H4264].
10
And they came[H935] to the threshingfloor[H1637] of Atad[H329], which is beyond[H5676]Jordan[H3383], and there they mourned[H5594] with a great[H1419] and very[H3966]sore[H3515]lamentation[H4553]: and he made[H6213] a mourning[H60] for his father[H1]seven[H7651]days[H3117].
11
And when the inhabitants[H3427] of the land[H776], the Canaanites[H3669], saw[H7200] the mourning[H60] in the floor[H1637] of Atad[H329], they said[H559], This is a grievous[H3515]mourning[H60] to the Egyptians[H4714]: wherefore the name of it[H8034] was called[H7121]Abelmizraim[H67], which is beyond[H5676]Jordan[H3383].
12
And his sons[H1121]did[H6213] unto him according as he commanded[H6680] them:
13
For his sons[H1121]carried[H5375] him into the land[H776] of Canaan[H3667], and buried[H6912] him in the cave[H4631] of the field[H7704] of Machpelah[H4375], which Abraham[H85]bought[H7069] with the field[H7704] for a possession[H272] of a buryingplace[H6913] of Ephron[H6085] the Hittite[H2850], before[H6440]Mamre[H4471].
14
And Joseph[H3130]returned[H7725] into Egypt[H4714], he, and his brethren[H251], and all that went up[H5927] with him to bury[H6912] his father[H1], after[H310] he had buried[H6912] his father[H1].
15
And when Joseph[H3130]'s brethren[H251]saw[H7200] that their father[H1] was dead[H4191], they said[H559], Joseph[H3130] will peradventure[H3863] hate us[H7852], and will certainly[H7725]requite[H7725]us[H7852] all the evil[H7451] which we did[H1580] unto him.
16
And they sent a messenger[H6680] unto Joseph[H3130], saying[H559], Thy father[H1] did command[H6680]before[H6440] he died[H4194], saying[H559],
17
So shall ye say[H559] unto Joseph[H3130], Forgive[H5375], I pray thee[H577] now, the trespass[H6588] of thy brethren[H251], and their sin[H2403]; for they did[H1580] unto thee[H577]evil[H7451]: and now, we pray thee[H577], forgive[H5375] the trespass[H6588] of the servants[H5650] of the God[H430] of thy father[H1]. And Joseph[H3130]wept[H1058] when they spake[H1696] unto him.
18
And his brethren[H251] also went[H3212] and fell down[H5307] before his face[H6440]; and they said[H559], Behold, we be thy servants[H5650].
19
And Joseph[H3130]said[H559] unto them, Fear[H3372] not: for am I in the place of God?[H430]
20
But as for you, ye thought[H2803]evil[H7451] against me; but God[H430] meant it[H2803] unto good[H2896], to[H4616] bring to[H4616]pass[H6213], as it[H2803] is this day[H3117], to[H4616]save[H2421]much[H7227]people[H5971]alive[H2421].
21
Now therefore fear[H3372] ye not: I will nourish[H3557] you, and your little ones[H2945]. And he comforted[H5162] them, and spake[H1696]kindly[H3820] unto them.
22
And Joseph[H3130]dwelt[H3427] in Egypt[H4714], he, and his father's house[H1004]: and Joseph[H3130]lived[H2421] an hundred[H3967] and ten[H6235]years[H8141].
23
And Joseph[H3130]saw[H7200] Ephraim's children[H1121] of the third[H8029] generation: the children[H1121] also of Machir[H4353] the son[H1121] of Manasseh[H4519] were brought up[H3205] upon Joseph[H3130]'s knees[H1290].
24
And Joseph[H3130]said[H559] unto his brethren[H251], I die[H4191]: and God[H430] will surely[H6485]visit[H6485] you, and bring you out[H5927] of this land[H776] unto the land[H776] which he sware[H7650] to Abraham[H85], to Isaac[H3327], and to Jacob[H3290].
25
And Joseph[H3130] took an oath[H7650] of the children[H1121] of Israel[H3478], saying[H559], God[H430] will surely[H6485]visit[H6485] you, and ye shall carry up[H5927] my bones[H6106] from hence[H2088].
26
So Joseph[H3130]died[H4191], being an hundred[H3967] and ten[H6235]years[H8141]old[H1121]: and they embalmed[H2590] him, and he was put[H3455] in a coffin[H727] in Egypt[H4714].
