Then
Joseph fell
upon
his father’s
face, wept
over him, and kissed
him .
And
Joseph falleth
on
his father's
face, and
weepeth
over him, and kisseth
him ;
And Joseph directed
the physicians in
his
service
to embalm his father Israel.
So
they
embalmed
him
,
and Joseph commandeth
his
servants,
the physicians ,
to embalm his father, and
the
physicians
embalm
Israel;
taking
the
forty days required
to
complete
the embalming.
And the Egyptians mourned
for him seventy days.
and
they
fulfil
for
him
forty days ,
for
so
they
fulfil
the days
of
the
embalmed,
and the Egyptians weep
for him seventy days.
When
the days of mourning
had
passed
, Joseph said
to
Pharaoh’s
court
, “
If I have found favor
in your eyes, please
tell
Pharaoh that
And
the days of his
weeping
pass
away
, and
Joseph speaketh
unto
the
house
of
Pharaoh
, saying,
`
If ,
I pray
you,
I
have found grace
in your eyes, speak,
I
pray
you,
in
the
ears
of
Pharaoh ,
saying,
my father made
me swear an
oath
when
he
said
, ‘
I am about
to
die.
You
must
bury
me
in the
tomb
that
I dug
for myself in the land of Canaan .’
Now let me go and bury my father, and then
return .”
My father caused
me to
swear, saying,
Lo,
I am dying;
in my
burying-place
which
I have
prepared
for myself in the land of Canaan ,
there
dost
thou
bury
me;
and
now ,
let me go up,
I
pray
thee,
and bury my father, and return ;'
Pharaoh replied
, “
Go up and bury your
father, as he made
you
swear
to do
. ”
and
Pharaoh saith
, `
Go up and bury thy
father, as he caused
thee
to swear
. '
Then
Joseph went
to bury his father, and all the servants of Pharaoh accompanied
him—the
elders of Pharaoh’s
household
and all the elders of the land of Egypt —
And
Joseph goeth
up
to bury his father, and go
up
with
him
do
all the servants of Pharaoh ,
elders of his
house,
and all the elders of the land of Egypt ,
along
with
all of Joseph’s
household
, and his brothers
, and his father’s
household.
Only their children
and flocks
and herds
were
left in Goshen .
and
all the
house
of Joseph
, and his brethren
, and the
house
of
his father;
only their infants,
and their
flock,
and their
herd,
have
they
left in the
land
of
Goshen ;
Chariots
and horsemen
alike
went
up with him, and it
was
an
exceedingly
large
procession
.
and there
go
up with him both
chariot
and
horsemen
, and the
camp
is
very
great
.
When
they reached
the threshing floor of Atad, which is across
the Jordan, they
lamented
and wailed
loudly
, and Joseph
mourned
for his father seven days .
And
they come
unto
the threshing -
floor of Atad, which `
is '
beyond
the Jordan, and they
lament
there
, a
lamentation
great
and very
grievous;
and
he
maketh
for his father a
mourning
seven days ,
When
the Canaanites
of the land saw
the mourning at
the threshing floor of Atad, they
said
, “This
is
a solemn
ceremony
of
mourning by
the Egyptians .”
Thus
the place
across
the Jordan
is called
Abel-mizraim
.
and
the inhabitant
of the land ,
the Canaanite,
see
the
mourning in
the threshing -
floor of Atad, and
say
, `
A grievous
mourning `is'
this
to
the Egyptians ;'
therefore
hath
`one'
called
its
name
`
The mourning
of
the Egyptians,'
which
`
is '
beyond
the
Jordan
.
So
Jacob’s
sons did
as he had
charged
them .
And
his
sons do
to
him
so
as he commanded
them ,
They
carried
him to the land of Canaan and buried
him in the cave at
Machpelah
in
the field near
Mamre
, which Abraham had
purchased
from Ephron the Hittite as
a
burial
site
.
and
his
sons
bear
him away
to the land of Canaan ,
and bury
him in the cave of
the field of
Machpelah
, which Abraham bought
with
the
field
for
a
possession
of
a
burying-place,
from Ephron the Hittite ,
on
the
front
of
Mamre
.
After
Joseph had
buried
his
father,
he
returned
to Egypt with
his brothers
and all who had
gone
with him to bury his father.
And
Joseph turneth
back
to Egypt ,
he
and
his brethren,
and all who are
going
up
with him to bury his father ,
after
his
burying
his
father
.
When
Joseph’s
brothers
saw
that their father was
dead, they
said
, “What
if
Joseph bears
a
grudge?
Then
he
will
surely
repay
us for
all the evil that
we did to
him. ”
And
the
brethren
of
Joseph
see
that their father is
dead, and
say
, `Peradventure
Joseph doth
hate
us ,
and
doth
certainly
return
to
us
all the evil which
we did with
him. '
So
they sent
word
to
Joseph, saying, “Before
he
died,
your
father commanded,
And
they give
a
charge
for
Joseph, saying, `Thy
father commanded before
his
death
, saying,
‘This
is
what
you
are
to
say to Joseph :
I beg
you
, please
forgive
the transgression and sin of
your
brothers
, for they did
you
wrong.’
So
now, Joseph
, please
forgive
the transgression of the servants of the God of your
father .”
When
their message
came
to
him ,
Joseph
wept
.
Thus
ye
do
say to Joseph ,
I pray
thee
, bear,
I
pray
thee,
with
the transgression of
thy
brethren,
and their
sin, for they have
done
thee
evil;
and
now, bear
, we
pray
thee,
with
the transgression of the servants of the God of thy
father ;'
and
Joseph
weepeth
in
their speaking
unto
him.
His brothers
also came
to
him,
bowed
down
before him, and said
, “
We are your
slaves!”
And
his brethren
also go
and
fall
before him, and say
, `Lo,
we `
are '
to
thee
for
servants.'
But
Joseph replied
, “Do
not be
afraid.
Am I in the place of God?
And
Joseph saith
unto
them
, `Fear
not ,
for
`
am '
I in the place of God?
As for you, what
you
intended
against me for
evil ,
God intended
for good, in order to accomplish
a
day
like
this —
to preserve
the
lives
of
many
people .
As for you, ye
devised
against me evil --
God devised
it
for good, in order to do
as
`at'
this day,
to keep
alive
a
numerous
people ;
Therefore
do
not be
afraid.
I will
provide
for
you and your little
ones.”
So
Joseph
reassured
his
brothers
and spoke
kindly
to
them.
and
now,
fear
not :
I do
nourish
you and your infants;'
and he
comforteth
them ,
and
speaketh
unto
their
heart
.
Now
Joseph
and his
father’s
household
remained
in Egypt, and Joseph
lived
to
the age
of 110.
And Joseph
dwelleth
in Egypt, he
and the house
of his
father,
and
Joseph
liveth
a
hundred
and
ten
years,
He
saw
Ephraim’s
sons to
the third generation ,
and
indeed
the
sons of Machir son of Manasseh were
brought
up
on Joseph’s
knees.
and
Joseph
looketh
on
Ephraim's
sons of
the third `
generation ';
sons also
of Machir ,
son of Manasseh ,
have
been
born
on the
knees of
Joseph
.
Then
Joseph said
to
his brothers
, “
I am about
to
die
, but
God will
surely
visit
you and bring
you up from this land to
the land He promised
on
oath
to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. ”
And
Joseph saith
unto
his brethren
, `
I am dying
, and
God doth
certainly
inspect
you ,
and hath
caused
you to
go
up from this land ,
unto
the land which
He hath
sworn
to Abraham, to
Isaac, and to
Jacob. '
And Joseph made
the sons of Israel take
an
oath
and
said
, “
God will
surely
attend
to
you, and then
you
must
carry
my bones up
from this place. ”
And Joseph causeth
the sons of Israel to
swear
, saying,
`
God doth
certainly
inspect
you, and ye
have
brought
up
my bones from this `
place '
. '
So
Joseph died
at
the
age
of 110.
And they embalmed
his
body
and placed
it
in
a coffin in Egypt.
And
Joseph dieth,
a
son
of an
hundred
and ten
years,
and
they embalm
him,
and he
is
put
into
a coffin in Egypt.
