Genesis 47:28-31

28And Jacob lived in the land of Egypt for 1seventeen years; so the 2length of Jacob’s life was 147 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 your hand under my thigh now and 6deal with me in kindness and 7faithfulness: please do not bury me in Egypt, 30but when I 89lie down with my fathers, you shall carry me out of Egypt and bury me in 10their burial place.” And he said, “I will do as you have said.” 31And he said, “11Swear to me.” So he swore to him. Then 12Israel bowed in worship at the head of the bed.
