1 And Joseph fell on his father’s face, and wept over him, and kissed him. 2 And Joseph commanded his servants, the physicians, to embalm his father, and the physicians embalmed Israel. 3 And they fulfilled for him 40 days, for so they fulfilled the days of the embalmed, and the Egyptians wept for him 70 days. 4 And the days of his weeping passed away, and Joseph spoke to the house of Pharaoh, saying, “Now if I have found grace in your eyes, please speak in the ears of Pharaoh, saying, 5 My father caused me to swear, saying, Look, I am dying. In my burying-place which I have prepared for myself in the land of Canaan, there you bury me. And now, please let me go up and bury my father, then I return.” 6 and Pharaoh said, “Go up and bury your father, as he caused you to swear.” 7 And Joseph goes up to bury his father, and all the servants of Pharaoh go up with him, the elderly of his house, and all the elderly of the land of Egypt, 8 and all the house of Joseph, and his brothers, and the house of his father. Only their infants, and their flock, and their herd, had they left in the land of Goshen. 9 And there go up with him both chariot and horsemen, and the camp was very great. 10 And they came to the threshing-floor of Atad, which was beyond the Jordan, and they lamented there, a lamentation great and very grievous. And he made for his father a mourning seven days, 11 and the inhabitant of the land, the Canaanite, saw the mourning in the threshing-floor of Atad and said, “A grievous mourning is this to the Egyptians.” Therefore one had called its name “The mourning of the Egyptians,” which was beyond the Jordan. 12 And his sons did to him so as he commanded them, 13 and his sons carried him away to 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 burying-place, from Ephron the Hittite, on the front of Mamre. 14 And Joseph turned back to Egypt, he and his brothers, and all who were going up with him to bury his father, after his burying his father. 15 And the brothers of Joseph saw that their father was dead, and said, “Perhaps Joseph hates us, and certainly returns to us all the evil which we did with him.” 16 And they gave a charge for Joseph, saying, “Your father commanded before his death, saying, 17 Say this to Joseph: Ah, now, please bear with the transgression of your brothers and their sin, for they have done you evil. And now, please bear with the transgression of the servants of the God of your father.” And Joseph wept in their speaking to him. 18 And his brothers also go and fell before him, and said, “Look, we are to you for servants.” 19 And Joseph said to them, “Do not fear, for am I in the place of God? 20 As for you, you devised evil against me, but God devised it for good, in order to do as at this day, to keep alive a numerous people. 21 And now, do not fear: I nourish you and your infants.” And he comforted them, and spoke to their heart. 22 And Joseph stayed in Egypt, he and the house of his father, and Joseph lived 110 years, 23 and Joseph looked on Ephraim’s sons of a third generation. Sons also of Machir, son of Manasseh, had been born on the knees of Joseph. 24 And Joseph said to his brothers, “I am dying, and God certainly inspects you, and has caused you to go up from this land, to the land which He had sworn to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.” 25 And Joseph causes the sons of Israel to swear, saying, “God certainly inspects you, and you have brought up my bones from this place.” 26 And Joseph died, 110 years old, and they embalmed him, and he was put into a coffin in Egypt.
