Genesis 50

1 And Joseph fell on his father's face, and wept on him, and kissed him. [c]
2 And Joseph commanded his servants the physicians to embalm his father: and the physicians embalmed Israel. [c]
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 three score and ten days. [c]
4 And when the days of his mourning were past, Joseph spoke to the house of Pharaoh, saying, If now I have found grace in your eyes, speak, I pray you, in the ears of Pharaoh, saying, [c]
5 My father made me swear, saying, See, I die: in my grave which I have dig for me in the land of Canaan, there shall you bury me. Now therefore let me go up, I pray you, and bury my father, and I will come again. [c]
6 And Pharaoh said, Go up, and bury your father, according as he made you swear. [c]
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, [c]
8 And 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. [c]
9 And there went up with him both chariots and horsemen: and it was a very great company. [c]
10 And they came to the threshing floor 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. [c]
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: why the name of it was called Abelmizraim, which is beyond Jordan. [c]
12 And his sons did to him according as he commanded them: [c]
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 burial plot of Ephron the Hittite, before Mamre. [c]
14 And Joseph returned into Egypt, he, and his brothers, and all that went up with him to bury his father, after he had buried his father. [c]
15 And when Joseph's brothers saw that their father was dead, they said, Joseph will peradventure hate us, and will certainly requite us all the evil which we did to him. [c]
16 And they sent a messenger to Joseph, saying, Your father did command before he died, saying, [c]
17 So shall you say to Joseph, Forgive, I pray you now, the trespass of your brothers, and their sin; for they did to you evil: and now, we pray you, forgive the trespass of the servants of the God of your father. And Joseph wept when they spoke to him. [c]
18 And his brothers also went and fell down before his face; and they said, Behold, we be your servants. [c]
19 And Joseph said to them, Fear not: for am I in the place of God? [c]
20 But as for you, you thought evil against me; but God meant it to good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save much people alive. [c]
21 Now therefore fear you not: I will nourish you, and your little ones. And he comforted them, and spoke kindly to them. [c]
22 And Joseph dwelled in Egypt, he, and his father's house: and Joseph lived an hundred and ten years. [c]
23 And Joseph saw Ephraim's children of the third generation: the children also of Machir the son of Manasseh were brought up on Joseph's knees. [c]
24 And Joseph said to his brothers, I die: and God will surely visit you, and bring you out of this land to the land which he swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob. [c]
25 And Joseph took an oath of the children of Israel, saying, God will surely visit you, and you shall carry up my bones from hence. [c]
26 So Joseph died, being an hundred and ten years old: and they embalmed him, and he was put in a coffin in Egypt. [c]
