GE-50:1 And Joseph fell upon his father's face, and wept upon
him,
and kissed him.
GE-50:2 And Joseph commanded his servants the physicians to
embalm
his father: and the physicians embalmed Israel.
GE-50:3 And forty days were fulfilled for him; for so are
fulfilled
the days of those which are embalmed: and the Egyptians mourned
for
him threescore and ten days.
GE-50:4 And when the days of his mourning were past, Joseph
spake
unto the house of Pharaoh, saying, If now I have found grace in
your
eyes, speak, I pray you, in the ears of Pharaoh, saying,
GE-50:5 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.
GE-50:6 And Pharaoh said, Go up, and bury thy father, according
as he
made thee swear.
GE-50:7 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,
GE-50:8 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.
GE-50:9 And there went up with him both chariots and horsemen:
and it
was a very great company.
GE-50:10 And they came to the threshingfloor of Atad, which [is]
beyond Jordan, and there they mourned with a great and very sore
lamentation: and he made a mourning for his father seven days.
GE-50:11 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
Abelmizraim, which [is] beyond Jordan.
GE-50:12 And his sons did unto him according as he commanded
them:
GE-50:13 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 buryingplace of Ephron the
Hittite,
before Mamre.
GE-50:14 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.
GE-50:15 And when Joseph's brethren saw that their father was
dead,
they said, Joseph will peradventure hate us, and will certainly
requite us all the evil which we did unto him.
GE-50:16 And they sent a messenger unto Joseph, saying, Thy
father
did command before he died, saying,
GE-50:17 So shall ye say unto Joseph, Forgive, I pray thee now,
the
trespass of thy brethren, and their sin; for they did unto thee
evil:
and now, we pray thee, forgive the trespass of the servants of
the God
of thy father. And Joseph wept when they spake unto him.
GE-50:18 And his brethren also went and fell down before his
face;
and they said, Behold, we [be] thy servants.
GE-50:19 And Joseph said unto them, Fear not: for [am] I in the
place
of God?
GE-50:20 But as for you, ye thought evil against me; [but] God
meant
it unto good, to bring to pass, as [it is] this day, to save much
people alive.
GE-50:21 Now therefore fear ye not: I will nourish you, and your
little ones. And he comforted them, and spake kindly unto them.
GE-50:22 And Joseph dwelt in Egypt, he, and his father's house:
and
Joseph lived an hundred and ten years.
GE-50:23 And Joseph saw Ephraim's children of the third
[generation]:
the children also of Machir the son of Manasseh were brought up
upon
Joseph's knees.
GE-50:24 And Joseph said unto his brethren, I die: and God will
surely visit you, and bring you out of this land unto the land
which
he sware to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.
GE-50:25 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.
GE-50:26 So Joseph died, [being] an hundred and ten years old:
and
they embalmed him, and he was put in a coffin in Egypt.
