01_GEN_50_01 And Joseph fell upon his father's face, And wept upon him, And kissed him.
01_GEN_50_02 And Joseph commanded his servants the physicians to embalm his Father: And the physicians embalmed Israel.
01_GEN_50_03 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.
01_GEN_50_04 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,
01_GEN_50_05 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.
01_GEN_50_06 And Pharaoh said, go up, And bury thy Father, according as he made thee swear.
01_GEN_50_07 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,
01_GEN_50_08 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.
01_GEN_50_09 And there went up with him Both chariots And horsemen: And it was A very great company.
01_GEN_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.
01_GEN_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.
01_GEN_50_12 And his sons did unto him according as he commanded them:
01_GEN_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.
01_GEN_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.
01_GEN_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.
01_GEN_50_16 And they sent A messenger unto Joseph, saying, thy Father did command before he died, saying,
01_GEN_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 thee, forgive the trespass of the servants of the God of thy Father. And Joseph wept when they spake unto him.
01_GEN_50_18 And his brethren also went And fell down before his face; And they said, behold, we [ be] thy servants.
01_GEN_50_19 And Joseph said unto them, Fear not: for [ am] I in the place of God?
01_GEN_50_20 but as for you, ye thought evil against me; [ but] God meant it unto good, to bring to pass, as [ it Is] this day, to save much people alive.
01_GEN_50_21 now therefore Fear ye not: I will nourish you, And your little ones. And he comforted them, And spake kindly unto them.
01_GEN_50_22 And Joseph dwelt in Egypt, he, And his father's house: And Joseph lived an hundred And ten years.
01_GEN_50_23 And Joseph saw Ephraim's children of the third [ generation]: the children also of Machir the son of Manasseh were brought up upon Joseph's knees.
01_GEN_50_24 And Joseph said unto his brethren, I die: And God will surely visit you, And bring you out of this land unto the land which he sware to Abraham, to Isaac, And to Jacob.
01_GEN_50_25 And Joseph took an oath of the children of Israel, saying, God will surely visit you, And ye shall carry up my bones from hence.
01_GEN_50_26 So Joseph died, [ being] an hundred And ten years old: And they embalmed him, And he was put in A coffin in Egypt.
