1And Joseph fell on his father's face, and wept on him, and kissed him. 2And Joseph commanded his slaves the physicians to embalm his father: and the physicians embalmed Israel. 3And forty days were fulfilled for him; for so are fulfilled the days of embalming: and the Egyptians wept for him 70 days. 4And when the days of weeping for him were past, Joseph spoke to the house of Pharaoh, saying, If now I have found favor in your{+} eyes, speak, I pray you{+}, in the ears of Pharaoh, saying, 5My father made me swear, saying, Look, I die: in my grave which I have dug for me in the land of Canaan, there you will bury me. Now therefore let me go up, I pray you, and bury my father, and I will come again. 6And Pharaoh said, Go up, and bury your father, according to as he made you swear. 7And Joseph went up to bury his father; and with him went up all the slaves of Pharaoh, the elders of his house, and all the elders of the land of Egypt, 8and all the house of Joseph, and his brothers, and his father's house: only their little ones, and their flocks, and their herds, they left in the land of Goshen. 9And there went up with him both chariots and horsemen: and it was a very great company. 10And they came to the threshing-floor of Atad, which is beyond the Jordan, and there they lamented with a very great and intense lamentation: and he made a mourning for his father seven days. 11And when the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites, saw the mourning in the floor of Atad, they said, This is a grievous mourning to the Egyptians: therefore the name of it was called Abel-mizraim, which is beyond the Jordan. 12And his sons did to him according to as he commanded them: 13for his sons carried him into the land of Canaan, and buried him in the cave of the field of Machpelah, which Abraham bought with the field, for a possession of a burying-place, of Ephron the Hittite, before Mamre. 14And Joseph returned into Egypt, he, and his brothers, and all who went up with him to bury his father, after he had buried his father. 15And when Joseph's brothers saw that their father was dead, they said, It may be that Joseph will hate us, and will fully requite us all the evil which we did to him. 16And they told Joseph the following order, Your father commanded before he died, saying, 17So you{+} will say to Joseph, Forgive, I pray you now, the transgression of your brothers, and their sin, because they did to you evil. And now, we pray you, forgive the transgression of the slaves of the God of your father. And Joseph wept when they spoke to him. 18And his brothers also went and fell down before his face; and they said, Look, we are your slaves. 19And Joseph said to them, Don't be afraid: for am I in the place of God? 20And as for you{+}, you{+} meant evil against me; but God meant it for good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save many people alive. 21Now therefore don't be{+} afraid: I will nourish you{+}, and your{+} little ones. And he comforted them, and spoke kindly to them. 22And Joseph dwelt in Egypt, he, and his father's house: and Joseph lived a hundred and ten years. 23And Joseph saw Ephraim's sons of the third generation: the sons also of Machir the son of Manasseh were born on Joseph's knees. 24And Joseph said to his brothers, I die; but God will surely visit you{+}, and bring you{+} up out of this land to the land which he swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob. 25And Joseph took an oath of the sons of Israel, saying, God will surely visit you{+}, and you{+} will carry up my bones from here. 26So Joseph died, being a hundred and ten years old: and they embalmed him, and he was put in a coffin in Egypt.
