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.
GE-50:15 And when Joseph's brethren saw that their father was
dead, they
said, Joseph will peradventure hate us, and will certainly
requite us all the
evil which we did unto him.
GE-50:16 And they sent a messenger unto Joseph, saying, Thy
father did
command before he died, saying,
GE-50:17 So shall ye say unto Joseph, Forgive, I pray thee now,
the trespass
of thy brethren, and their sin; for they did unto thee evil: and
now, we pray
