2 And Joseph * h3130 commanded * h6680 h8762 his servants * h5650 the physicians * h7495 h8802 to embalm * h2590 h8800 his father * h1: and the physicians * h7495 h8802 embalmed * h2590 h8799 Israel * h3478.
3 And forty * h705 days * h3117 were fulfilled * h4390 h8799 for him; for so are fulfilled * h4390 h8799 the days * h3117 of those which are embalmed * h2590 h8803: and the Egyptians * h4714 mourned * h1058 h8799 for him threescore and ten * h7657 days * h3117. mourned: Heb. wept

5 My father * h1 made me swear * h7650 h8689, saying * h559 h8800, lo * h2009, I die * h4191 h8801: in my grave * h6913 which I have digged * h3738 h8804 for me in the land * h776 of Canaan * h3667, there shalt thou bury me * h6912 h8799. Now therefore let me go up * h5927 h8799, I pray thee, and bury * h6912 h8799 my father * h1, and I will come again * h7725 h8799.
6 And Pharaoh * h6547 said * h559 h8799, Go up * h5927 h8798, and bury * h6912 h8798 thy father * h1, according as he made thee swear * h7650 h8689.
7 And Joseph * h3130 went up * h5927 h8799 to bury * h6912 h8800 his father * h1: and with him went up * h5927 h8799 all the servants * h5650 of Pharaoh * h6547, the elders * h2205 of his house * h1004, and all the elders * h2205 of the land * h776 of Egypt * h4714,

9 And there went up * h5927 h8799 with him both chariots * h7393 and horsemen * h6571: and it was a very * h3966 great * h3515 company * h4264.
10 And they came * h935 h8799 to the threshingfloor * h1637 of Atad * h329, which is beyond * h5676 Jordan * h3383, and there they mourned * h5594 h8799 with a great * h1419 and very * h3966 sore * h3515 lamentation * h4553: and he made * h6213 h8799 a mourning * h60 for his father * h1 seven * h7651 days * h3117.

14 And Joseph * h3130 returned * h7725 h8799 into Egypt * h4714, he, and his brethren * h251, and all that went up * h5927 h8802 with him to bury * h6912 h8800 his father * h1, after * h310 he had buried * h6912 h8800 his father * h1.
15 And when Joseph's * h3130 brethren * h251 saw * h7200 h8799 that their father * h1 was dead * h4191 h8804, they said * h559 h8799, Joseph * h3130 will peradventure * h3863 hate us * h7852 h8799, and will certainly * h7725 h8687 requite * h7725 h8686 us all the evil * h7451 which we did * h1580 h8804 unto him.
16 And they sent a messenger * h6680 h8762 unto Joseph * h3130, saying * h559 h8800, Thy father * h1 did command * h6680 h8765 before * h6440 he died * h4194, saying * h559 h8800, sent: Heb. charged
17 So shall ye say * h559 h8799 unto Joseph * h3130, Forgive * h5375 h8798, I pray thee * h577 now, the trespass * h6588 of thy brethren * h251, and their sin * h2403; for they did * h1580 h8804 unto thee evil * h7451: and now, we pray thee, forgive * h5375 h8798 the trespass * h6588 of the servants * h5650 of the God * h430 of thy father * h1. And Joseph * h3130 wept * h1058 h8799 when they spake * h1696 h8763 unto him.
18 And his brethren * h251 also went * h3212 h8799 and fell down * h5307 h8799 before his face * h6440; and they said * h559 h8799, Behold, we be thy servants * h5650.
19 And Joseph * h3130 said * h559 h8799 unto them, Fear * h3372 h8799 not: for am I in the place of God * h430?
20 But as for you, ye thought * h2803 h8804 evil * h7451 against me; but God * h430 meant it * h2803 h8804 unto good * h2896, to * h4616 bring to pass * h6213 h8800, as it is this day * h3117, to save * h2421 much * h7227 people * h5971 alive * h2421 h8687.
21 Now therefore fear * h3372 h8799 ye not: I will nourish * h3557 h8770 you, and your little ones * h2945. And he comforted * h5162 h8762 them, and spake * h1696 h8762 kindly * h3820 unto them. kindly...: Heb. to their hearts

23 And Joseph * h3130 saw * h7200 h8799 Ephraim's * h669 children * h1121 of the third * h8029 generation : the children * h1121 also of Machir * h4353 the son * h1121 of Manasseh * h4519 were brought up * h3205 h8795 upon Joseph's * h3130 knees * h1290. brought...: Heb. born
24 And Joseph * h3130 said * h559 h8799 unto his brethren * h251, I die * h4191 h8801: and God * h430 will surely * h6485 h8800 visit * h6485 h8799 you, and bring you out * h5927 h8689 of this land * h776 unto the land * h776 which he sware * h7650 h8738 to Abraham * h85, to Isaac * h3327, and to Jacob * h3290.
25 And Joseph * h3130 took an oath * h7650 h8686 of the children * h1121 of Israel * h3478, saying * h559 h8800, God * h430 will surely * h6485 h8800 visit * h6485 h8799 you, and ye shall carry up * h5927 h8689 my bones * h6106 from hence * h2088.
