When the daysh3117 of  1mourningh1068 for him were pasth5674a, Josephh3130 spokeh1696 to the householdh1004 of Pharaohh6547, sayingh559, "Ifh518 nowh4994 I have foundh4672 favorh2580 in your sighth5869, pleaseh4994 speakh1696  2to Pharaohh6547, sayingh559,

5

aMy fatherh1 made me swearh7650, sayingh559, "Beholdh2009, I am about to dieh4191; in my graveh6913  bwhichh834 I dugh3738a for myself in the landh776 of Canaanh3667a, thereh8033 you shall buryh6912 me." Nowh6258 therefore, pleaseh4994 let me goh5927 up and buryh6912 my fatherh1; then I will returnh7725.' "

6

Pharaohh6547 saidh559, "Goh5927 up and buryh6912 your fatherh1, as he made you swearh7650."

7

So Josephh3130 wenth5927 up to buryh6912 his fatherh1, and with him wenth5927 up allh3605 the servantsh5650 of Pharaohh6547, the eldersh2205 of his householdh1004 and allh3605 the eldersh2205 of the landh776 of Egypth4714,

8

and allh3605 the householdh1004 of Josephh3130 and his brothersh251 and his father'sh1 householdh1004; they lefth5800a onlyh7534 their littleh2945 onesh2945 and their flocksh6629 and their herdsh1241 in the landh776 of Goshenh1657.

9

There also wenth5927 up with him bothh1571 chariotsh7393 and horsemenh6571b; and it was a veryh3966 greath3515 companyh4264.

When they cameh935 to the  1threshingh1637 floorh1637 of Atadh329, whichh834 is beyondh5676 the Jordanh3383, they  alamentedh5594 thereh8033 with a veryh3966 greath1419 and  2sorrowfulh3515 lamentationh4553; and he  3observedh6213a sevenh7651 daysh3117 mourningh60 for his fatherh1.

Now when the inhabitantsh3427 of the landh776, the Canaanitesh3669a, sawh7200 the mourningh60 at  1the threshingh1637 floorh1637 of Atadh329, they saidh559, "Thish2088 is a  2grievoush3515  3mourningh60 for the Egyptiansh4714."

12

Thush3651 his sonsh1121 didh6213a for him as he had chargedh6680 them;

13

for his sonsh1121 carriedh5375 him to the landh776 of Canaanh3667a and buriedh6912 him in  athe caveh4631 of the fieldh7704 of Machpelahh4375 beforeh5921h6440 Mamreh4471, whichh834 Abrahamh85 had boughth7069 along with the fieldh7704 for a  1burialh6913 siteh272 from Ephronh6085 the Hittiteh2850.

14

Afterh310 he had buriedh6912 his fatherh1, Josephh3130 returnedh7725 to Egypth4714, he and his brothersh251, and allh3605 who had goneh5927 up with him to buryh6912 his fatherh1.

15

When Joseph'sh3130 brothersh251 sawh7200 that their fatherh1 was deadh4191, they saidh559, " aWhat if Josephh3130 bearsh7852 a grudgeh7852 againsth7852 us and paysh7725 us backh7725 in fullh7725 for allh3605 the wrongh7463a whichh834 we didh1580 to him!"

16

So they  1senth6680 a message to Josephh3130, sayingh559, "Your fatherh1 chargedh6680 beforeh6440 he diedh4194, sayingh559,

17

`Thush3541 you shall sayh559 to Josephh3130, "Pleaseh4994 forgiveh5375, I begh577 you, the transgressionh6588 of your brothersh251 and their sinh2403b, for they didh1580 you wrongh7463a."' And nowh6258, pleaseh4994 forgiveh5375 the transgressionh6588 of the servantsh5650 of the Godh430 of your fatherh1." And Josephh3130 wepth1058 when they spokeh1696 to him.

18

Then his brothersh251 alsoh1571 cameh1980 and  afellh5307 downh5307 beforeh6440 him and saidh559, "Beholdh2009, we are your servantsh5650."

19

But Josephh3130 saidh559 to them, "Do not be afraidh3372a, for am I in God'sh430 placeh8478?

20

"As for you,  ayou meanth2803 evilh7463a againsth5921 me, but Godh430 meanth2803 it for goodh2899b in orderh4616 to bringh6213a abouth6213a  1thish2088 presenth3117 result, to preserveh2421a manyh7227a peopleh5971a aliveh2421a.

21

"Soh6258 therefore, do not be afraidh3372a;  aI will provideh3557 for you and your littleh2945 onesh2945." So he comfortedh5162 them and spokeh1696  1kindlyh3820 to them.

Josephh3130 sawh7200 the thirdh8029 generation of Ephraim'sh669 sonsh1121; alsoh1571 the sonsh1121 of Machirh4353, the sonh1121 of Manassehh4519, were  abornh3205 on Joseph'sh3130 kneesh1290.

24

Josephh3130 saidh559 to his brothersh251, " aI am about to dieh4191, but Godh430 will surelyh6485  1takeh6485 careh6485 of you and bringh5927 you up from thish2088 landh776 to the landh776 whichh834 He  2promisedh7650 on oathh7650 to  bAbrahamh85, to  cIsaach3327 and to  dJacobh3290."

25

Then Josephh3130 made the sonsh1121 of Israelh3478 swearh7650, sayingh559, "Godh430 will surelyh6485  1takeh6485 careh6485 of you, and  ayou shall carryh5927 my bonesh6106 up from hereh2088."
