1
Then Joseph
fell
on his father's
face,
and wept
over
him and kissed
him.
2
Joseph
commanded
his servants
the physicians
to embalm
his father.
So
the physicians
embalmed
Israel.
3
Now forty
days
were
required
for it, for such
is the period
required
for embalming.
And the Egyptians
wept
for him seventy
days
.
4
When the days
of mourning
for him were past,
Joseph
spoke
to the household
of Pharaoh,
saying,
"If
now
I have found
favor
in your sight,
please
speak
to Pharaoh,
saying,
5
'
My father
made me swear,
saying,
"Behold,
I am about to die;
in my grave
which
I dug
for myself in the land
of Canaan,
there
you shall bury
me." Now
there
fore, please
let me go
up and bury
my father;
then I will return.'"
6
Pharaoh
said,
"Go
up and bury
your father,
as he made you swear."
7
So Joseph
went
up to bury
his father,
and with him
went
up all
the servants
of Pharaoh,
the elders
of his household
and all
the elders
of the land
of Egypt,
8
and all
the household
of Joseph
and his brothers
and his father's
household;
they left
only
their little ones
and their flocks
and their herds
in the land
of Goshen.
9
There also went
up with him both
chariots
and horsemen;
and it was a very
great
company.
10
When they came
to the threshing floor
of Atad,
which
is beyond
the Jordan,
they lamented
there
with a very
great
and sorrowful
lamentation;
and he observed
seven
days
mourning
for his father.
11
Now when the inhabitants
of the land,
the Canaanites,
saw
the
mourning
at the threshing floor
of Atad,
they said,
"This
is a grievous
mourning
for the Egyptians."
Therefore
it was named
Abel-mizraim,
which
is beyond
the Jordan.
12
Thus
his sons
did
for him as he had charged
them;
13
for his sons
carried
him to the land
of Canaan
and buried
him in the cave
of the field
of Machpelah
before
Mamre,
which
Abraham
had bought
along with the field
for a burial
site
from Ephron
the Hittite.
14
After
he had buried
his father,
Joseph
returned
to Egypt,
he and his brothers,
and all
who had gone
up with him to bury
his father.
15
When Joseph's
brothers
saw
that their father
was dead,
they said,
"What if Joseph
bears a grudge against
us and pays
us back in full
for all
the wrong
which
we did
to him!"
16
So they sent
a message to Joseph,
saying,
"Your father
charged
before
he died,
saying,
17
'
Thus
you shall say
to Joseph,
"Please
forgive
,
I beg
you,
the transgression
of your brothers
and their sin,
for they did
you wrong."'
And now,
please
forgive
the transgression
of the servants
of the God
of your father."
And Joseph
wept
when they spoke
to him.
18
Then his brothers
also
came
and fell down
before
him and said,
"Behold,
we are your servants."
19
But Joseph
said
to them, "Do not be afraid,
for am I in God's
place?
20
"As for you, you
meant
evil
against
me, but God
meant
it for good
in order
to bring about
this
present
result, to preserve
many
people
alive.
21
"So
therefore, do not be afraid;
I will provide
for you and your little ones."
So he comforted
them and spoke
kindly
to them.
22
Now Joseph
stayed
in Egypt,
he and his father's
household,
and Joseph
lived
one hundred
and ten
years.
23
Joseph
saw
the third
generation of Ephraim's
sons;
also
the sons
of Machir,
the son
of Manasseh,
were born
on
Joseph
's
knees.
24
Joseph
said
to his brothers,
"I am about to die,
but God
will surely
take care
of you and bring
you up from this
land
to the
land
which
He promised on oath
to Abraham,
to Isaac
and to Jacob."
25
Then Joseph
made the sons
of Israel
swear,
saying,
"God
will surely
take care
of you, and you shall carry
my bones
up from here."
26
So Joseph
died
at the age
of one hundred
and ten
years;
and he was embalmed
and placed
in a coffin
in Egypt.
