Genesis 47:28-31
28Jacob lived in the land of Egypt 1seventeen years; so the 2length of Jacob’s life was one hundred and forty-seven years.
29When 34the time for Israel to die drew near, he called his son Joseph and said to him, “Please, if I have found favor in your sight, 5place now your hand under my thigh and 6deal with me in kindness and 7faithfulness. Please do not bury me in Egypt, 30but when I 8lie down with my fathers, you shall carry me out of Egypt and bury me in 9their burial place.” And he said, “I will do as you have said.” 31He said, “10Swear to me.” So he swore to him. Then 11Israel bowed in worship at the head of the bed.
