Chapter 50 of Genesis

Genesis

01:050:001 And Joseph fell upon his father's face, and wept upon him, and
kissed him.

01:050:002 And Joseph commanded his servants the physicians to embalm his
father: and the physicians embalmed Israel.

01:050:003 And forty days were fulfilled for him; for so are fulfilled
the days of those which are embalmed: and the Egyptians
mourned for him threescore and ten days.

01:050:004 And when the days of his mourning were past, Joseph spake unto
the house of Pharaoh, saying, If now I have found grace in
your eyes, speak, I pray you, in the ears of Pharaoh, saying,

01:050:005 My father made me swear, saying, Lo, I die: in my grave which
I have digged for me in the land of Canaan, there shalt thou
bury me. Now therefore let me go up, I pray thee, and bury my
father, and I will come again.

01:050:006 And Pharaoh said, Go up, and bury thy father, according as he
made thee swear.

01:050:007 And 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,

01:050:008 And all the house of Joseph, and his brethren, and his
father's house: only their little ones, and their flocks, and
their herds, they left in the land of Goshen.

01:050:009 And there went up with him both chariots and horsemen: and it
was a very great company.

01:050:010 And they came to the threshingfloor of Atad, which is beyond
Jordan, and there they mourned with a great and very sore
lamentation: and he made a mourning for his father seven days.

01:050:011 And when the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites, saw the
mourning in the floor of Atad, they said, This is a grievous
mourning to the Egyptians: wherefore the name of it was called
Abelmizraim, which is beyond Jordan.

01:050:012 And his sons did unto him according as he commanded them:

01:050:013 For his sons carried him into 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 buryingplace of
Ephron the Hittite, before Mamre.

01:050:014 And Joseph returned into Egypt, he, and his brethren, and all
that went up with him to bury his father, after he had buried
his father.

01:050:015 And when Joseph's brethren saw that their father was dead,
they said, Joseph will peradventure hate us, and will
certainly requite us all the evil which we did unto him.

01:050:016 And they sent a messenger unto Joseph, saying, Thy father did
command before he died, saying,

01:050:017 So shall ye say unto Joseph, Forgive, I pray thee now, the
trespass of thy brethren, and their sin; for they did unto
thee evil: and now, we pray thee, forgive the trespass of the
servants of the God of thy father. And Joseph wept when they
spake unto him.

01:050:018 And his brethren also went and fell down before his face; and
they said, Behold, we be thy servants.

01:050:019 And Joseph said unto them, Fear not: for am I in the place of
God?

01:050:020 But as for you, ye thought evil against me; but God meant it
unto good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save much
people alive.

01:050:021 Now therefore fear ye not: I will nourish you, and your little
ones. And he comforted them, and spake kindly unto them.

01:050:022 And Joseph dwelt in Egypt, he, and his father's house: and
Joseph lived an hundred and ten years.

01:050:023 And Joseph saw Ephraim's children of the third generation: the
children also of Machir the son of Manasseh were brought up
upon Joseph's knees.

01:050:024 And Joseph said unto his brethren, I die: and God will surely
visit you, and bring you out of this land unto the land which
he sware to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.

01:050:025 And Joseph took an oath of the children of Israel, saying, God
will surely visit you, and ye shall carry up my bones from
hence.

01:050:026 So Joseph died, being an hundred and ten years old: and they
embalmed him, and he was put in a coffin in Egypt.
