4 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 5 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 6 And Pharaoh said Go up and bury thy father according as he made thee swear
7 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 8 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 9 And there went up with him both chariots and horsemen and it was a very great company 10 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 11 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
12 And his sons did unto him according as he commanded them 13 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 14 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
15 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 16 And they sent a messenger unto Joseph saying Thy father did command before he died saying 17 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 18 And his brethren also went and fell down before his face and they said Behold we be thy servants 19 And Joseph said unto them Fear not for am I in the place of God 20 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 21 Now therefore fear ye not I will nourish you and your little ones And he comforted them and spake kindly unto them
22 And Joseph dwelt in Egypt he and his father's house and Joseph lived an hundred and ten years 23 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 24 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 25 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 26 So Joseph died being an hundred and ten years old and they embalmed him and he was put in a coffin in Egypt
