And Joseph [03130] fell [05307] upon his father's [01] face [06440], and wept [01058] upon him, and kissed [05401] him.
And Joseph [03130] commanded [06680] his servants [05650] the physicians [07495] to embalm [02590] his father [01]: and the physicians [07495] embalmed [02590] Israel [03478].
And forty [0705] days [03117] were fulfilled [04390] for him; for so are fulfilled [04390] the days [03117] of those which are embalmed [02590]: and the Egyptians [04714] mourned [01058] for him threescore and ten [07657] days [03117].mourned: Heb. wept
And when the days [03117] of his mourning [01068] were past [05674], Joseph [03130] spake [01696] unto the house [01004] of Pharaoh [06547], saying [0559], If now I have found [04672] grace [02580] in your eyes [05869], speak [01696], I pray you, in the ears [0241] of Pharaoh [06547], saying [0559],
My father [01] made me swear [07650], saying [0559], Lo [02009], I die [04191]: in my grave [06913] which I have digged [03738] for me in the land [0776] of Canaan [03667], there shalt thou bury me [06912]. Now therefore let me go up [05927], I pray thee, and bury [06912] my father [01], and I will come again [07725].
And Pharaoh [06547] said [0559], Go up [05927], and bury [06912] thy father [01], according as he made thee swear [07650].
And Joseph [03130] went up [05927] to bury [06912] his father [01]: and with him went up [05927] all the servants [05650] of Pharaoh [06547], the elders [02205] of his house [01004], and all the elders [02205] of the land [0776] of Egypt [04714],
And all the house [01004] of Joseph [03130], and his brethren [0251], and his father's [01] house [01004]: only their little ones [02945], and their flocks [06629], and their herds [01241], they left [05800] in the land [0776] of Goshen [01657].
And there went up [05927] with him both chariots [07393] and horsemen [06571]: and it was a very [03966] great [03515] company [04264].
And they came [0935] to the threshingfloor [01637] of Atad [0329], which is beyond [05676] Jordan [03383], and there they mourned [05594] with a great [01419] and very [03966] sore [03515] lamentation [04553]: and he made [06213] a mourning [060] for his father [01] seven [07651] days [03117].
And when the inhabitants [03427] of the land [0776], the Canaanites [03669], saw [07200] the mourning [060] in the floor [01637] of Atad [0329], they said [0559], This is a grievous [03515] mourning [060] to the Egyptians [04714]: wherefore the name of it [08034] was called [07121] Abel–mizraim [067], which is beyond [05676] Jordan [03383].Abel–mizraim: that is, The mourning of the Egyptians
And his sons [01121] did [06213] unto him according as he commanded [06680] them:
For his sons [01121] carried [05375] him into the land [0776] of Canaan [03667], and buried [06912] him in the cave [04631] of the field [07704] of Machpelah [04375], which Abraham [085] bought [07069] with the field [07704] for a possession [0272] of a buryingplace [06913] of Ephron [06085] the Hittite [02850], before [06440] Mamre [04471].
And Joseph [03130] returned [07725] into Egypt [04714], he, and his brethren [0251], and all that went up [05927] with him to bury [06912] his father [01], after [0310] he had buried [06912] his father [01].
And when Joseph's [03130] brethren [0251] saw [07200] that their father [01] was dead [04191], they said [0559], Joseph [03130] will peradventure [03863] hate us [07852], and will certainly [07725] requite [07725] us all the evil [07451] which we did [01580] unto him.
And they sent a messenger [06680] unto Joseph [03130], saying [0559], Thy father [01] did command [06680] before [06440] he died [04194], saying [0559],sent: Heb. charged
So shall ye say [0559] unto Joseph [03130], Forgive [05375], I pray thee [0577] now, the trespass [06588] of thy brethren [0251], and their sin [02403]; for they did [01580] unto thee evil [07451]: and now, we pray thee, forgive [05375] the trespass [06588] of the servants [05650] of the God [0430] of thy father [01]. And Joseph [03130] wept [01058] when they spake [01696] unto him.
And his brethren [0251] also went [03212] and fell down [05307] before his face [06440]; and they said [0559], Behold, we be thy servants [05650].
And Joseph [03130] said [0559] unto them, Fear [03372] not: for am I in the place of God [0430]?
But as for you, ye thought [02803] evil [07451] against me; but God [0430] meant it [02803] unto good [02896], to [04616] bring to pass [06213], as it is this day [03117], to save [02421] much [07227] people [05971] alive [02421].
Now therefore fear [03372] ye not: I will nourish [03557] you, and your little ones [02945]. And he comforted [05162] them, and spake [01696] kindly [03820] unto them.kindly…: Heb. to their hearts
And Joseph [03130] dwelt [03427] in Egypt [04714], he, and his father's [01] house [01004]: and Joseph [03130] lived [02421] an hundred [03967] and ten [06235] years [08141].
And Joseph [03130] saw [07200] Ephraim's [0669] children [01121] of the third [08029] generation: the children [01121] also of Machir [04353] the son [01121] of Manasseh [04519] were brought up [03205] upon Joseph's [03130] knees [01290].brought…: Heb. born
And Joseph [03130] said [0559] unto his brethren [0251], I die [04191]: and God [0430] will surely [06485] visit [06485] you, and bring you out [05927] of this land [0776] unto the land [0776] which he sware [07650] to Abraham [085], to Isaac [03327], and to Jacob [03290].
And Joseph [03130] took an oath [07650] of the children [01121] of Israel [03478], saying [0559], God [0430] will surely [06485] visit [06485] you, and ye shall carry up [05927] my bones [06106] from hence [02088].
So Joseph [03130] died [04191], being an hundred [03967] and ten [06235] years [08141] old [01121]: and they embalmed [02590] him, and he was put [03455] in a coffin [0727] in Egypt [04714].
