Genesis 50:1-13

1And JosephH3130 fellH5307 upon his father’sH1 faceH6440, and weptH1058 upon him, and kissedH5401 him. 2And JosephH3130 commandedH6680 his servantsH5650 the physiciansH7495 to embalmH2590 his fatherH1: and the physiciansH7495 embalmedH2590 IsraelH3478. 3And fortyH705 daysH3117 were fulfilled for him; for soH3651 are fulfilled the daysH3117 of embalming: and the EgyptiansH4713 weptH1058 for him threescore and ten daysH3117.

4And when the daysH3117 of weeping for him were past, JosephH3130 spake unto the houseH1004 of PharaohH6547, sayingH559, If now I have foundH4672 favorH2580 in your eyesH5869, speakH1696, I pray you, in the earsH241 of PharaohH6547, sayingH559, 5My fatherH1 madeH7650 me swearH7650, sayingH559, Lo, I dieH4191: in my graveH6913 which I have digged for me in the landH776 of CanaanH3667, there shalt thou buryH6912 me. NowH6258 thereforeH6258 let me goH5927 up, I pray thee, and buryH6912 my fatherH1, and I will comeH5927 again. 6And PharaohH6547 saidH559, GoH5927 up, and buryH6912 thy fatherH1, according as he madeH7650 thee swearH7650. 7And JosephH3130 wentH5927 up to buryH6912 his fatherH1; and with him wentH5927 up all the servantsH5650 of PharaohH6547, the eldersH2205 of his houseH1004, and all the eldersH2205 of the landH776 of EgyptH4714, 8and all the houseH1004 of JosephH3130, and his brethren, and his father’sH1 houseH1004: onlyH7535 their littleH2945 onesH2945, and their flocksH6629, and their herdsH1241, they leftH5800 in the landH776 of GoshenH1657. 9And there wentH5927 up with him both chariotsH7393 and horsemenH6571: and it wasH1961 a veryH3966 great company. 10And they cameH935 to the threshing-floor of AtadH329, which is beyond the JordanH3383, and there they lamentedH5594 with a veryH3966 greatH1419 and sore lamentation: and he madeH6213 a mourningH60 for his fatherH1 sevenH7651 daysH3117. 11And whenH834 the inhabitantsH3427 of the landH776, the CanaanitesH3669, sawH7200 the mourningH60 in the floorH1637 of AtadH329, they saidH559, This is a grievous mourningH60 to the EgyptiansH4713: wherefore the nameH8034 of it was calledH7121 Abel-mizraim, which is beyond the JordanH3383. 12And his sonsH1121 did unto him according as he commandedH6680 them: 13for his sonsH1121 carriedH5375 him into the landH776 of CanaanH3667, and buriedH6912 him in the caveH4631 of the fieldH7704 of MachpelahH4375, which AbrahamH85 boughtH7069 with the fieldH7704, for a possessionH272 of a burying-place, of EphronH6085 the HittiteH2850, before MamreH4471.
