Genesis 50:1-13

1And JosephH3130 fellH5307 upon his father’sH1 faceH6440, and weptH1058 upon him, and kissedH5401 him. 2And JosephH3130 commandedH6680 his servantsH5650 the physiciansH7495 to embalmH2590 his fatherH1: and the physiciansH7495 embalmedH2590 IsraelH3478. 3And fortyH705 daysH3117 were fulfilledH4390 for him; for so are fulfilledH4390 the daysH3117 of those which are embalmedH2590: and the EgyptiansH4714 mournedH1058 for him threescore and tenH7657 daysH3117.1 4And when the daysH3117 of his mourningH1068 were pastH5674, JosephH3130 spakeH1696 unto the houseH1004 of PharaohH6547, sayingH559, If now I have foundH4672 graceH2580 in your eyesH5869, speakH1696, I pray you, in the earsH241 of PharaohH6547, sayingH559, 5My fatherH1 made me swearH7650, sayingH559, LoH2009, I dieH4191: in my graveH6913 which I have diggedH3738 for me in the landH776 of CanaanH3667, there shalt thou bury meH6912. Now therefore let me go upH5927, I pray thee, and buryH6912 my fatherH1, and I will come againH7725. 6And PharaohH6547 saidH559, Go upH5927, and buryH6912 thy fatherH1, according as he made thee swearH7650.

7And JosephH3130 went upH5927 to buryH6912 his fatherH1: and with him went upH5927 all the servantsH5650 of PharaohH6547, the eldersH2205 of his houseH1004, and all the eldersH2205 of the landH776 of EgyptH4714, 8And all the houseH1004 of JosephH3130, and his brethrenH251, and his father’sH1 houseH1004: only their little onesH2945, and their flocksH6629, and their herdsH1241, they leftH5800 in the landH776 of GoshenH1657. 9And there went upH5927 with him both chariotsH7393 and horsemenH6571: and it was a veryH3966 greatH3515 companyH4264. 10And they cameH935 to the threshingfloorH1637 of AtadH329, which is beyondH5676 JordanH3383, and there they mournedH5594 with a greatH1419 and veryH3966 soreH3515 lamentationH4553: and he madeH6213 a mourningH60 for his fatherH1 sevenH7651 daysH3117. 11And when the inhabitantsH3427 of the landH776, the CanaanitesH3669, sawH7200 the mourningH60 in the floorH1637 of AtadH329, they saidH559, This is a grievousH3515 mourningH60 to the EgyptiansH4714: wherefore the name of itH8034 was calledH7121 Abel–mizraimH67, which is beyondH5676 JordanH3383.2 12And his sonsH1121 didH6213 unto him according as he commandedH6680 them: 13For his sonsH1121 carriedH5375 him into the landH776 of CanaanH3667, and buriedH6912 him in the caveH4631 of the fieldH7704 of MachpelahH4375, which AbrahamH85 boughtH7069 with the fieldH7704 for a possessionH272 of a buryingplaceH6913 of EphronH6085 the HittiteH2850, beforeH6440 MamreH4471.
