GE-50:1 And Joseph fell upon his father's face, and wept upon
him,
and kissed him.
GE-50:2 And Joseph commanded his servants the physicians to
embalm
his father: and the physicians embalmed Israel.
GE-50:3 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.
GE-50:4 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,
GE-50:5 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.
GE-50:6 And Pharaoh said, Go up, and bury thy father, according
as he
made thee swear.
GE-50:7 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,
GE-50:8 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.
GE-50:9 And there went up with him both chariots and horsemen:
and it
was a very great company.
GE-50:10 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.
GE-50:11 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.
GE-50:12 And his sons did unto him according as he commanded
them:
GE-50:13 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.
GE-50:14 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.
