1 And Joseph fell upon his father's face, and wept upon him,
and kissed him. 2 And Joseph commanded his servants the physicians
to embalm his father: and the physicians embalmed Israel. 3 And
forty days were fulfilled for him; for so are fulfilled the days of
embalming: and the Egyptians wept for him three-score and ten days.
4 And when the days of weeping for him were past, Joseph spake
unto the house of Pharaoh, saying, If now I have found favor in your
eyes, speak, I pray you, in the ears of Pharaoh, saying, 5 My
father made me swear, saying, Lo, I die: in my grave which I have
digged for me in the land of Canaan, there shalt thou bury me. Now
therefore let me go up, I pray thee, and bury my father, and I will
come again. 6 And Pharaoh said, Go up, and bury thy father,
according as he made thee swear. 7 And Joseph went up to bury his
father; and with him went up all the servants of Pharaoh, the elders of
his house, and all the elders of the land of Egypt, 8 and all the
house of Joseph, and his brethren, and his father's house: only their
little ones, and their flocks, and their herds, they left in the land
of Goshen. 9 And there went up with him both chariots and
horsemen: and it was a very great company. 10 And they came to the
threshing-floor of Atad, which is beyond the Jordan, and there they
lamented with a very great and sore lamentation: and he made a mourning
for his father seven days. 11 And 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: wherefore the name of it
was called Abel-mizraim, which is beyond the Jordan. 12 And his
sons did unto him according as he commanded them: 13 for 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.
14 And Joseph returned into Egypt, he, and his brethren, and all
that went up with him to bury his father, after he had buried his
father.
15 And when Joseph's brethren 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 unto him. 16 And they sent a message
unto Joseph, saying, Thy father did command before he died, saying,
17 So shall ye say unto Joseph, Forgive, I pray thee now, the
transgression of thy brethren, and their sin, for that they did unto
thee evil. And now, we pray thee, forgive the transgression of the
servants of the God of thy father. And Joseph wept when they spake unto
him. 18 And his brethren also went and fell down before his face;
and they said, Behold, we are thy servants. 19 And Joseph said
unto them, Fear not: for am I in the place of God? 20 And as for
you, ye meant evil against me; but God meant it for good, to bring to
pass, as it is this day, to save much people alive. 21 Now
therefore fear ye not: I will nourish you, and your little ones. And he
comforted them, and spake kindly unto them.
22 And Joseph dwelt in Egypt, he, and his father's house: and
Joseph lived a hundred and ten years. 23 And Joseph saw Ephraim's
children of the third generation: the children also of Machir the son
of Manasseh were born upon Joseph's knees. 24 And Joseph said unto
his brethren, I die; but God will surely visit you, and bring you up
out of this land unto the land which he sware to Abraham, to Isaac, and
to Jacob. 25 And Joseph took an oath of the children of Israel,
saying, God will surely visit you, and ye shall carry up my bones from
hence. 26 So Joseph died, being a hundred and ten years old: and
they embalmed him, and he was put in a coffin in Egypt.
