1 And Joseph fell upon his father's face, and wept upon him, and kissed him. 2 And Joseph com­mand­ed his ser­vants the physi­cians to em­balm his fa­ther: and the physi­cians em­balmed Is­rael. 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. 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, 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. 6 And Pharaoh said, Go up, and bury thy fa­ther, ac­cord­ing as he made thee swear. 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, 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. 9 And there went up with him both char­i­ots and horse­men: and it was a very great com­pa­ny. 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. 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. 12 And his sons did unto him ac­cord­ing 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 for a pos­ses­sion of a bury­ing­place of Ephron the Hit­tite, be­fore Mam­re. 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. 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. 16 And they sent a mes­sen­ger unto Joseph, say­ing, Thy fa­ther did com­mand be­fore he died, say­ing, 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. 18 And his brethren also went and fell down be­fore his face; and they said, Be­hold, we be thy ser­vants. 19 And Joseph said unto them, Fear not: for am I in the place of God? 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. 21 Now there­fore fear ye not: I will nour­ish you, and your lit­tle ones. And he com­fort­ed them, and spake kind­ly unto them. 22 And Joseph dwelt in Egypt, he, and his father's house: and Joseph lived an hun­dred and ten years. 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. 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. 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. 26 So Joseph died, being an hun­dred and ten years old: and they em­balmed him, and he was put in a cof­fin in Egypt.
