4When the daysH3117 of 1mourningH1068 for him wereH5674 pastH5674, JosephH3130 spokeH1696 to the householdH1004 of PharaohH6547, sayingH559, “IfH518 nowH4994 I have foundH4672 favorH2580 in your sightH5869, pleaseH4994 speakH1696 2to PharaohH6547, sayingH559, 5‘3My fatherH1 made me swearH7650, sayingH559, “BeholdH2009, I am about to dieH4191; in my graveH6913 4whichH834 I dugH3738 for myself in the landH776 of CanaanH3667, thereH8033 you shall buryH6912 me.” NowH6258 then, pleaseH4994 let me goH5927 upH5927 and buryH6912 my fatherH1; then I will returnH7725.’” 6PharaohH6547 saidH559, “GoH5927 upH5927 and buryH6912 your fatherH1, as he made you swearH7650.”
7So JosephH3130 wentH5927 upH5927 to buryH6912 his fatherH1, and with him wentH5927 upH5927 allH3605 the servantsH5650 of PharaohH6547, the eldersH2205 of his householdH1004 and allH3605 the eldersH2205 of the landH776 of EgyptH4714, 8and allH3605 the householdH1004 of JosephH3130 and his brothersH251 and his father’sH1 householdH1004; they leftH5800 onlyH7534 their littleH2945 onesH2945 and their flocksH6629 and their herdsH1241 in the landH776 of GoshenH1657. 9ChariotsH7393 with teamsH6571 ofH6571 horsesH6571 also wentH5927 upH5927 with him; and it was a veryH3966 greatH3515 companyH4264. 10When they cameH935 to the 5threshingH1637 floorH1637 of AtadH329, whichH834 is beyondH5676 the JordanH3383, they 6mournedH5594 thereH8033 with a veryH3966 greatH1419 and 7sorrowfulH3515 lamentationH4553; and he 8observedH6213 sevenH7651 daysH3117 of mourningH60 for his fatherH1. 11Now when the inhabitantsH3427 of the landH776, the CanaanitesH3669, sawH7200 the mourningH60 at 9the threshingH1637 floorH1637 of AtadH329, they saidH559, “ThisH2088 is a 10grievousH3515 11mourningH60 for the EgyptiansH4714.” ThereforeH5921H3651 it was namedH7121H8034 12Abel-mizraimH67, whichH834 is beyondH5676 the JordanH3383.
