Genesis 50:4-13
4When the daysH3117 of mourningH1068 had passedH5674, JosephH3130 saidH1696 toH413 Pharaoh’sH6547H559 courtH1004, “IfH518 I have foundH4672 favorH2580 in your eyesH5869, pleaseH4994 tellH1696H4994H241 Pharaoh thatH6547H559 5my fatherH1 made me swear an oathH7650 when he saidH559H2009, ‘IH595 am about to dieH4191. You must bury meH6912H8033 in the tombH6913 thatH834 I dugH3738 for myself in the landH776 of CanaanH3667.’ NowH6258 let me goH5927H4994 and buryH6912 my fatherH1, and then returnH7725.”
6PharaohH6547 repliedH559, “Go upH5927 and buryH6912 your fatherH1, asH834 he made you swearH7650 to do.”
7Then JosephH3130 wentH5927 to buryH6912 his fatherH1, and allH3605 the servantsH5650 of PharaohH6547 accompaniedH5927 himH854—the eldersH2205 of Pharaoh’s householdH1004 and allH3605 the eldersH2205 of the landH776 of EgyptH4714— 8along with allH3605 of Joseph’sH3130 householdH1004, and his brothersH251, and his father’sH1 householdH1004. OnlyH7535 their childrenH2945 and flocksH6629 and herdsH1241 were leftH5800 in GoshenH776H1657.
9ChariotsH7393 andH1571 horsemenH6571 alikeH1571 went upH5927 with himH5973, and it wasH1961 an exceedinglyH3966 largeH3515 processionH4264. 10When they reachedH935H5704 the threshing floorH1637 of AtadH329, whichH834 is acrossH5676 the JordanH3383, they lamentedH5594H8033 and wailedH4553 loudlyH1419H3515H3966, and Joseph mournedH6213H60 for his fatherH1 sevenH7651 daysH3117.
11When the CanaanitesH3669 of the landH3427H776 sawH7200 the mourningH60H1637 at the threshing floor of AtadH329, they saidH559, “ThisH2088 is a solemnH3515 ceremony of mourningH60 by the EgyptiansH4714.” ThusH5921H3651 the placeH834 acrossH5676 the JordanH3383 is calledH7121H8034 Abel-mizraimH67.1
12So Jacob’s sonsH1121 didH6213 asH834 he had charged themH6680. 13TheyH1121 carriedH5375 himH853 to the landH776 of CanaanH3667 and buriedH6912 himH853 in the caveH4631 at MachpelahH4375 in the fieldH7704 nearH5921H6440 MamreH4471, whichH834 AbrahamH85 had purchasedH7069 from EphronH6085 the HittiteH2850 as a burialH6913H854 siteH272.
