Genesis 50:14-26

14And JosephH3130 returnedH7725 into EgyptH4714, he, and his brethren, and all that wentH5927 up with him to buryH6912 his fatherH1, after he had buriedH6912 his fatherH1.

15And when Joseph’s brethren sawH7200 that their fatherH1 was deadH4191, they saidH559, It may be that JosephH3130 will hate us, and will fully requite us all the evilH7451 which we did unto him. 16And they sent a message unto JosephH3130, sayingH559, Thy fatherH1 did commandH6680 before he died, sayingH559, 17So shall ye sayH559 unto JosephH3130, ForgiveH5375, I pray thee nowH6258, the transgressionH6588 of thy brethren, and their sinH2403, for that they did unto thee evilH7451. And nowH6258, we pray thee, forgiveH5375 the transgressionH6588 of the servantsH5650 of the GodH430 of thy fatherH1. And JosephH3130 weptH1058 when they spake unto him. 18And his brethren alsoH1571 went and fellH5307 downH5307 before his faceH6440; and they saidH559, Behold, we are thy servantsH5650. 19And JosephH3130 saidH559 unto them, FearH3372 not: for am I in the placeH8478 of GodH430? 20And as for you, ye meant evilH7451 against me; but GodH430 meant it for goodH2896, to bring to pass, as it is this dayH3117, to save muchH7227 peopleH5971 aliveH2421. 21NowH6258 thereforeH6258 fearH3372 ye not: I will nourish you, and your littleH2945 onesH2945. And he comfortedH5162 them, and spake kindly unto them.

22And JosephH3130 dweltH3427 in EgyptH4714, he, and his father’sH1 houseH1004: and JosephH3130 lived a hundredH3967 and tenH6235 yearsH8141. 23And JosephH3130 sawH7200 Ephraim’s children of the thirdH8029 generationH8029: the children alsoH1571 of Machir the sonH1121 of ManassehH4519 were bornH3205 upon Joseph’s knees. 24And JosephH3130 saidH559 unto his brethren, I dieH4191; but GodH430 will surely visitH6485 you, and bringH5927 you up out of this landH776 unto the landH776 which he sware to AbrahamH85, to IsaacH3327, and to JacobH3290. 25And JosephH3130 took an oathH7650 of the children of IsraelH3478, sayingH559, GodH430 will surely visitH6485 you, and ye shall carry up my bonesH6106 from hence. 26So JosephH3130 diedH4191, being a hundredH3967 and tenH6235 yearsH8141 old: and they embalmedH2590 him, and he was putH4191 in a coffin in EgyptH4714.
