[1] Joseph fell on his father’s face, wept on him, and kissed him. [2] Joseph commanded his servants, the physicians, to embalm his father; and the physicians embalmed Israel. [3] Forty days were used for him, for that is how many days it takes to embalm. The Egyptians wept for Israel for seventy days. [4] When the days of weeping for him were past, Joseph spoke to Pharaoh’s staff, saying, “If now I have found favor in your eyes, please speak in the ears of Pharaoh, saying, [5] ‘My father made me swear, saying, “Behold, I am dying. Bury me in my grave which I have dug for myself in the land of Canaan.” Now therefore, please let me go up and bury my father, and I will come again.’” [6] Pharaoh said, “Go up, and bury your father, just like he made you swear.” [7] Joseph went up to bury his father; and with him went up all the servants of Pharaoh, the elders of his house, all the elders of the land of Egypt, [8] all the house of Joseph, his brothers, and his father’s house. Only their little ones, their flocks, and their herds, they left in the land of Goshen. [9] Both chariots and horsemen went up with him. It was a very great company. [10] They came to the threshing floor of Atad, which is beyond the Jordan, and there they lamented with a very great and severe lamentation. He mourned for his father seven days. [11] When the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites, saw the mourning in the floor of Atad, they said, “This is a grievous mourning by the Egyptians.” Therefore its name was called Abel Mizraim, which is beyond the Jordan. [12] His sons did to him just 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, as a possession for a burial site, from Ephron the Hittite, near Mamre. [14] 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. [15] When Joseph’s brothers saw that their father was dead, they said, “It may be that Joseph will hate us, and will fully pay us back for all the evil which we did to him.” [16] They sent a message to Joseph, saying, “Your father commanded before he died, saying, [17] ‘You shall tell Joseph, “Now please forgive the disobedience of your brothers, and their sin, because they did evil to you.”’ Now, please forgive the disobedience of the servants of the God of your father.” Joseph wept when they spoke to him. [18] His brothers also went and fell down before his face; and they said, “Behold, we are your servants.” [19] Joseph said to them, “Don’t be afraid, for am I in the place of God? [20] As for you, you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good, to save many people alive, as is happening today. [21] Now therefore don’t be afraid. I will provide for you and your little ones.” He comforted them, and spoke kindly to them. [22] Joseph lived in Egypt, he, and his father’s house. Joseph lived one hundred ten years. [23] Joseph saw Ephraim’s children to the third generation. The children also of Machir, the son of Manasseh, were born on Joseph’s knees. [24] Joseph said to his brothers, “I am dying, but God will surely visit you, and bring you up out of this land to the land which he swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.” [25] Joseph took an oath from the children of Israel, saying, “God will surely visit you, and you shall carry up my bones from here.” [26] So Joseph died, being one hundred ten years old, and they embalmed him, and he was put in a coffin in Egypt.

[1] And Joseph H3130 fell H5307 upon H5921 his father’s H1 face, H6440 and wept H1058 upon him, H5921 and kissed H5401 him. [2] And Joseph H3130 commanded H6680 H853 his servants H5650 H853 the physicians H7495 to embalm H2590 H853 his father: H1 and the physicians H7495 embalmed H2590 H853 Israel. H3478 [3] And forty H705 days H3117 were fulfilled H4390 for him; for H3588 so H3651 are fulfilled H4390 the days H3117 of those which are embalmed: H2590 and the Egyptians H4713 mourned H1058§ for him H853 threescore and ten H7657 days. H3117 [4] And when the days H3117 of his mourning H1068 were past, H5674 Joseph H3130 spake H1696 unto H413 the house H1004 of Pharaoh, H6547 saying, H559 If H518 now H4994 I have found H4672 grace H2580 in your eyes, H5869 speak, H1696 I pray you, H4994 in the ears H241 of Pharaoh, H6547 saying, H559 [5] My father H1 made me swear, H7650 saying, H559 Lo, H2009 I H595 die: H4191 in my grave H6913 which H834 I have digged H3738 for me in the land H776 of Canaan, H3667 there H8033 shalt thou bury me. H6912 Now therefore H6258 let me go up, H5927 I pray thee, H4994 and bury H6912 H853 my father, H1 and I will come again. H7725 [6] And Pharaoh H6547 said, H559 Go up, H5927 and bury H6912 H853 thy father, H1 according as H834 he made thee swear. H7650 [7] And Joseph H3130 went up H5927 to bury H6912 H853 his father: H1 and with him H854 went up H5927 all H3605 the servants H5650 of Pharaoh, H6547 the elders H2205 of his house, H1004 and all H3605 the elders H2205 of the land H776 of Egypt, H4714 [8] and all H3605 the house H1004 of Joseph, H3130 and his brethren, H251 and his father’s H1 house: H1004 only H7535 their little ones, H2945 and their flocks, H6629 and their herds, H1241 they left H5800 in the land H776 of Goshen. H1657 [9] And there went up H5927 with him H5973 both H1571 chariots H7393 and H1571 horsemen: H6571 and it was H1961 a very H3966 great H3515 company. H4264 [10] And they came H935 to H5704 the threshingfloor H1637 of Atad, H329 which H834 is beyond H5676 Jordan, H3383 and there H8033 they mourned H5594 with a great H1419 and very H3966 sore H3515 lamentation: H4553 and he made H6213 a mourning H60 for his father H1 seven H7651 days. H3117 [11] And when the inhabitants H3427 of the land, H776 the Canaanites, H3669 saw H7200 H853 the mourning H60 in the floor H1637 of Atad, H329 they said, H559 This H2088 is a grievous H3515 mourning H60 to the Egyptians: H4714 wherefore H5921 H3651 the name of it H8034 was called H7121 Abel-mizraim, H67ⓘ which H834 is beyond H5676 Jordan. H3383 [12] And his sons H1121 did H6213 unto him H3651 according as H834 he commanded them: H6680 [13] for his sons H1121 carried H5375 him H853 into the land H776 of Canaan, H3667 and buried H6912 him H853 in the cave H4631 of the field H7704 of Machpelah, H4375 which H834 Abraham H85 bought H7069 with H853 the field H7704 for a possession H272 of a buryingplace H6913 of H854 Ephron H6085 the Hittite, H2850 before H5921 H6440 Mamre. H4471 [14] And Joseph H3130 returned H7725 into Egypt, H4714 he, H1931 and his brethren, H251 and all H3605 that went up H5927 with him H854 to bury H6912 H853 his father, H1 after H310 he had buried H6912 H853 his father.

Death of Joseph

[15] And when Joseph’s H3130 brethren H251 saw H7200 that H3588 their father H1 was dead, H4191 they said, H559 Joseph H3130 will peradventure H3863 hate us, H7852 and will certainly H7725 requite H7725 us H853 all H3605 the evil H7451 which H834 we did H1580 unto him. H853 [16] And they sent§ a messenger H6680 unto H413 Joseph, H3130 saying, H559 Thy father H1 did command H6680 before H6440 he died, H4194 saying, H559 [17] So H3541 shall ye say H559 unto Joseph, H3130 Forgive, H5375 I pray thee H577 now, H4994 the trespass H6588 of thy brethren, H251 and their sin; H2403 for H3588 they did unto thee H1580 evil: H7451 and now, H6258 we pray thee, H4994 forgive H5375 the trespass H6588 of the servants H5650 of the God H430 of thy father. H1 And Joseph H3130 wept H1058 when they spake H1696 unto him. H413 [18] And his brethren H251 also H1571 went H3212 and fell down H5307 before his face; H6440 and they said, H559 Behold, we H2009 be thy servants. H5650 [19] And Joseph H3130 said H559 unto them, H413 Fear H3372 not: H408 for H3588 am I H589 in the place of H8478 God? H430 [20] But as for you, H859 ye thought H2803 evil H7451 against me; H5921 but God H430 meant it H2803 unto good, H2896 to H4616 bring to pass, H6213 as it is this H2088 day, H3117 to save H2421 much H7227 people H5971 alive. H2421 [21] Now therefore H6258 fear ye H3372 not: H408 I H595 will nourish H3557 you, H853 and H853 your little ones. H2945 And he comforted H5162 them, H853 and spake H1696 kindly H3820 unto them. H5921§ [22] And Joseph H3130 dwelt H3427 in Egypt, H4714 he, H1931 and his father’s H1 house: H1004 and Joseph H3130 lived H2421 an hundred H3967 and ten H6235 years. H8141 [23] And Joseph H3130 saw H7200 Ephraim’s H669 children H1121 of the third H8029 generation: the children H1121 also H1571 of Machir H4353 the son H1121 of Manasseh H4519 were brought up H3205 upon H5921 Joseph’s H3130 knees. H1290 [24] And Joseph H3130 said H559 unto H413 his brethren, H251 I H595 die: H4191 and God H430 will surely H6485 visit H6485 you, H853 and bring H5927 you H853 out H5927 of H4480 this H2063 land H776 unto H413 the land H776 which H834 he sware H7650 to Abraham, H85 to Isaac, H3327 and to Jacob. H3290 [25] And Joseph H3130 took an oath H7650 H853 of the children H1121 of Israel, H3478 saying, H559 God H430 will surely H6485 visit H6485 you, H853 and ye shall carry up H5927 H853 my bones H6106 from hence. H2088 [26] So Joseph H3130 died, H4191 being an hundred H3967 and ten H6235 years H8141 old: H1121 and they embalmed H2590 him, H853 and he was put H3455 in a coffin H727 in Egypt. H4714
