Revised Version 1895

1And JosephH3130 fellH5307 uponH5921 his father’sH1 faceH6440, and weptH1058 uponH5921 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 soH3651 are fulfilledH4390 the daysH3117 of embalming: and the EgyptiansH4713 weptH1058 for him threescore and ten daysH3117. 4And when the daysH3117 of weeping for him were past, JosephH3130 spake unto the houseH1004 of PharaohH6547, sayingH559, IfH518 nowH4994 I have foundH4672 graceH2580 in your eyesH5869, speakH1696, I prayH4994 youH518, in the earsH241 of PharaohH6547, sayingH559, 5My fatherH1 madeH7650 meH4994 swearH7650, sayingH559, LoH2009, I dieH4191: in my graveH6913 whichH834 I have digged for meH4994 in the landH776 of CanaanH3667, there shalt thou buryH6912 meH4994. NowH6258 therefore letH4994 meH4994 goH5927 upH5927, I prayH4994 thee, and buryH6912 my fatherH1, and I will comeH5927 againH7725. 6And PharaohH6547 saidH559, GoH5927 upH5927, and buryH6912 thy fatherH1, according as he madeH7650 thee swearH7650. 7And JosephH3130 wentH5927 upH5927 to buryH6912 his fatherH1: and with him wentH5927 upH5927 allH3605 the servantsH5650 of PharaohH6547, the eldersH2205 of his houseH1004, and allH3605 the eldersH2205 of the landH776 of EgyptH4714, 8and allH3605 the houseH1004 of JosephH3130, and his brethrenH251, and his father’sH1 houseH1004: onlyH7535 their littleH2945 onesH2945, and their flocksH6629, and their herdsH1241, they leftH5800 in the landH776 of GoshenH1657. 9And there wentH5927 upH5927 with him bothH1571 chariotsH7393 and horsemenH6571: and it was a veryH3966 greatH3966 companyH4264. 10And they cameH935 to the threshing-floor of AtadH329, whichH834 is beyondH5676 JordanH3383, and there they lamentedH5594 with a veryH3966 greatH1419 and sore 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 EgyptiansH4713: wherefore the nameH8034 of it was calledH7121 Abel-mizraimH67, whichH834 is beyondH5676 JordanH3383. 12And his sonsH1121 didH6213 unto him according as he commandedH6680 them: 13for his sonsH1121 carriedH5375 him intoH5921 the landH776 of CanaanH3667, and buriedH6912 him in the caveH4631 of the fieldH7704 of MachpelahH4375, whichH834 AbrahamH85 boughtH7069 with the fieldH7704, for a possessionH272 of a buryingplace, of EphronH6085 the HittiteH2850, beforeH6440 MamreH4471. 14And JosephH3130 returnedH7725 intoH4714 EgyptH4714, he, and his brethrenH251, and allH3605 that wentH5927 upH5927 with him to buryH6912 his fatherH1, afterH310 he had buriedH6912 his fatherH1. 15And when Joseph’sH3130 brethrenH251 sawH7200 that their fatherH1 was deadH4191, they saidH559, It may be that JosephH3130 will hate usH7725, and will fully requite usH7725 allH3605 the evilH7451 whichH834 weH3588 didH834 unto him. 16And they sentH6680 a message unto JosephH3130, sayingH559, Thy fatherH1 did commandH6680 beforeH6440 he diedH4194, sayingH559, 17SoH3541 shall ye sayH559 unto JosephH3130, ForgiveH5375, I prayH4994 thee nowH6258, the transgressionH6588 of thy brethrenH251, and their sinH2403, for that they didH1580 unto thee evilH7451: and nowH6258, weH3588 prayH4994 thee, forgiveH5375 the transgressionH6588 of the servantsH5650 of the GodH430 of thy fatherH1. And JosephH3130 weptH1058 when they spake unto him. 18And his brethrenH251 also wentH6440 and fellH5307 downH5307 beforeH6440 his faceH6440; and they saidH559, BeholdH2009, we be thy servantsH5650. 19And JosephH3130 saidH559 unto them, FearH3372 notH408: for am I in the placeH8478 of GodH430? 20And as for youH859, ye meantH2803 evilH7451 againstH5921 meH5921; but GodH430 meantH2803 it for goodH2896, to bringH7451 to pass, as it is this dayH3117, to save muchH7227 peopleH5971 aliveH2421. 21NowH6258 therefore fearH3372 ye notH408: I will nourishH3557 youH5921, and your littleH2945 onesH2945. And he comfortedH5162 them, and spake kindlyH3820 unto them. 22And JosephH3130 dweltH3427 in EgyptH4714, he, and his father’sH1 houseH1004: and JosephH3130 livedH3427 an hundredH3967 and tenH6235 yearsH8141. 23And JosephH3130 sawH7200 Ephraim’sH669 childrenH1121 of the thirdH8029 generationH8029: the childrenH1121 also of MachirH4353 the sonH1121 of ManassehH4519 were bornH3205 uponH5921 Joseph’sH3130 kneesH1290. 24And JosephH3130 saidH559 unto his brethrenH251, I dieH4191: but GodH430 will surelyH4191 visitH6485 youH834, and bringH5927 youH834 upH5927 outH4480 of this landH776 unto the landH776 whichH834 he sware to AbrahamH85, to IsaacH3327, and to JacobH3290. 25And JosephH3130 tookH853 an oathH7650 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, sayingH559, GodH430 will surelyH6485 visitH6485 youH853, and ye shall carryH5927 upH5927 my bonesH6106 from hence. 26SoH4191 JosephH3130 diedH4191, beingH1121 an hundredH3967 and tenH6235 yearsH8141 oldH1121: and they embalmedH2590 him, and he was putH4191 in a coffinH727 in EgyptH4714.
