1And Joseph fell upon his father's face, and wept upon him, and kissed him.
2And Joseph commanded (tzivvah) his servants the physicians to embalm his father; and the physicians embalmed Israel.
3And forty days were fulfilled for him, for so are fulfilled the days of the embalmed; and Egypt wept for him seventy days.
4And the days of weeping for him passed, and Joseph spoke to the house of Pharaoh, saying, "If now I have found favor in your eyes, speak, I pray you, in the ears of Pharaoh, saying,
5'My father made me swear, saying, Behold, I am dying; in my grave which I dug for myself in the land of Canaan, there you shall bury me.' And now let me go up, I pray, and bury my father, and I will return."
6And Pharaoh said, "Go up and bury your father, as he made you swear."
7And Joseph went up to bury his father, and with him went up all the servants of Pharaoh, the elders of his house, and all the elders of the land of Egypt,
8and all the house of Joseph, and his brothers, and his father's house; only their little ones and their flocks and their herds they left in the land of Goshen.
9And there went up with him both chariot and horsemen, and the camp was very heavy.
10And they came to the threshing-floor of Atad, which is beyond the Jordan, and there they lamented with a great and very heavy lamentation; and he made for his father a mourning of seven days.
11And the inhabitant of the land, the Canaanite, saw the mourning at the threshing-floor of Atad, and they said, "This is a heavy mourning for Egypt"; therefore its name was called Abel-mizraim, which is beyond the Jordan.
12And his sons did for him so, as he had commanded (tzivvah) them.
13And his sons carried him to the land of Canaan, and buried him in the cave of the field of Machpelah, which Abraham bought with the field for a possession of a burial-place, from Ephron the Hittite, before Mamre.
14And Joseph returned to Egypt, he and his brothers and all who went up with him to bury his father, after he had buried his father.
15And the brothers of Joseph saw that their father was dead, and they said, "It may be that Joseph will hate us, and will surely repay us all the evil which we dealt to him."
16And they commanded (tzivvah) unto Joseph, saying, "Your father commanded (tzivvah) before his death, saying,
17'Thus you shall say to Joseph: I pray, lift up, please, the transgression of your brothers and their sin, for they dealt evil to you.' And now, lift up, we pray, the transgression of the servants of the God of your father." And Joseph wept when they spoke to him.
18And his brothers also went and fell down before his face, and they said, "Behold, we are your servants."
19And Joseph said to them, "Fear not, for am I in the place of God?
20And you, you devised evil against me; God devised it for good, in order to do as it is this day, to keep alive a numerous people.
21And now, fear not; I will sustain you and your little ones." And he comforted them, and spoke to their heart.
22And Joseph dwelt in Egypt, he and his father's house; and Joseph lived a hundred and ten years.
23And Joseph saw the third generation of Ephraim's children; also the children of Machir the son of Manasseh were born upon Joseph's knees.
24And Joseph said to his brothers, "I am dying, but God will surely visit you, and bring you up out of this land to the land which he swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob."
25And Joseph made the sons of Israel swear, saying, "God will surely visit you, and you shall carry up my bones from here."
26And Joseph died, a son of a hundred and ten years; and they embalmed him, and he was put in a coffin in Egypt.
