Genesis 50

50Then Joseph fell on his father's face and wept over him and kissed him.H3130H5307H1H6440H1058H54012And Joseph commanded his servants the physicians to embalm his father. So the physicians embalmed Israel.H3130H6680H5650H7495H2590H1H7495H2590H34783Forty days were required for it, for that is how many are required for embalming. And the Egyptians wept for him seventy days.H705H3117H4390H4390H3117H2590H4714H1058H7657H31174And when the days of weeping for him were past, Joseph spoke to the household of Pharaoh, saying, "If now I have found favor in your eyes, please speak in the ears of Pharaoh, saying,H3117H1068H5674H3130H1696H1004H6547H559H4672H2580H5869H1696H241H6547H5595My father made me swear, saying, 'I am about to die: in my tomb that I hewed out for myself in the land of Canaan, there shall you bury me.' Now therefore, let me please go up and bury my father. Then I will return."H1H7650H559H2009H4191H6913H3738H776H3667H6912H5927H6912H1H77256And Pharaoh answered, "Go up, and bury your father, as he made you swear."H6547H559H5927H6912H1H76507So Joseph went up to bury his father. With him went up all the servants of Pharaoh, the elders of his household, and all the elders of the land of Egypt,H3130H5927H6912H1H5927H5650H6547H2205H1004H2205H776H47148as well as all the household of Joseph, his brothers, and his father's household. Only their children, their flocks, and their herds were left in the land of Goshen.H1004H3130H251H1H1004H2945H6629H1241H5800H776H16579And there went up with him both chariots and horsemen. It was a very great company.H5927H7393H6571H3966H3515H426410When they came to the threshing floor of Atad, which is beyond the Jordan, they lamented there with a very great and grievous lamentation, and he made a mourning for his father seven days.H935H1637H329H5676H3383H5594H1419H3966H3515H4553H6213H60H1H7651H311711When the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites, saw the mourning on the threshing floor of Atad, they said, "This is a grievous mourning by the Egyptians." Therefore the place was named Abel-mizraim; it is beyond the Jordan.H3427H776H3669H7200H60H1637H329H559H3515H60H4714H8034H7121H67H5676H338312Thus his sons did for him as he had commanded them,H1121H6213H668013for his sons carried him to the land of Canaan and buried him in the cave of the field at Machpelah, to the east of Mamre, which Abraham bought with the field from Ephron the Hittite to possess as a burying place.H1121H5375H776H3667H6912H4631H7704H4375H85H7069H7704H272H6913H6085H2850H6440H447114After he had buried his father, Joseph returned to Egypt with his brothers and all who had gone up with him to bury his father.H3130H7725H4714H251H5927H6912H1H310H6912H115When Joseph's brothers saw that their father was dead, they said, "It may be that Joseph will hate us and pay us back for all the evil that we did to him."H3130H251H7200H1H4191H559H3130H3863H7852H7725H7725H7451H158016So they sent a message to Joseph, saying, "Your father gave this command before he died,H6680H3130H559H1H6680H6440H4194H55917'Say to Joseph, Please forgive the transgression of your brothers and their sin, because they did evil to you.' And now, please forgive the transgression of the servants of the God of your father." Joseph wept when they spoke to him.H559H3130H5375H577H6588H251H2403H1580H7451H5375H6588H5650H430H1H3130H1058H169618His brothers also came and fell down before him and said, "Behold, we are your servants."H251H3212H5307H6440H559H565019But Joseph said to them, "Do not fear, for am I in the place of God?H3130H559H3372H43020As for you, you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good, to bring it about that many people should be kept alive, as they are today.H2803H7451H430H2803H2896H4616H6213H3117H2421H7227H5971H242121So do not fear; I will provide for you and your little ones." Thus he comforted them and spoke kindly to them.H3372H3557H2945H5162H1696H382022So Joseph remained in Egypt, he and his father's house. Joseph lived 110 years.H3130H3427H4714H1H1004H3130H2421H3967H6235H814123And Joseph saw Ephraim's children of the third generation. The children also of Machir the son of Manasseh were counted as Joseph's own.H3130H7200H669H1121H8029H1121H4353H1121H4519H3205H3130H129024And Joseph said to his brothers, "I am about to die, but God will visit you and bring you up out of this land to the land that he swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob."H3130H559H251H4191H430H6485H6485H5927H776H776H7650H85H3327H329025Then Joseph made the sons of Israel swear, saying, "God will surely visit you, and you shall carry up my bones from here."H3130H7650H1121H3478H559H430H6485H6485H5927H6106H208826So Joseph died, being 110 years old. They embalmed him, and he was put in a coffin in Egypt.H3130H4191H3967H6235H8141H1121H2590H3455H727H4714
