== Joseph wept ==

[ 1] And [[Joseph]] fell upon his father's face, and '''wept'''(וַיֵּ֥בְךְּ)<Ref name="bakah">{{01058}}</Ref> upon him, and kissed him.

2 And Joseph commanded his servants the physicians to embalm his father: and the physicians embalmed [[Israel]].

3 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.

=== Joseph spake to Pharaoh ===

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.

=== Pharaoh said Go ===

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.

== The threshingfloor ==

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<Ref name="Paysilv">{{Paysilv}}</Ref> 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.

== God's Good Purposes ==

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]]<Ref name="rarah">{{07451}}</Ref> which we did unto him.

16 And they sent a messenger<Ref name="tsavah">{{06680}}</Ref> unto Joseph, saying, Thy father did command	(צִוָּ֔ה TzadikVavHey ṣiwwāh)<Ref name="tsavah">{{06680}}</Ref>, before he died, saying,

=== Joseph wept ===

17 So shall ye say unto Joseph, [[Forgive]], I pray thee now, the trespass of thy brethren, and their [[sin]]<Ref name="chattaah">{{02403}}</Ref> ; 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'''(וַיֵּ֥בְךְּ)<Ref name="bakah">{{01058}}</Ref>  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 (הֲתַ֥חַת hăṯaḥaṯ)<Ref name="tachath">{{08478}}</Ref> of God(אֱלֹהִ֖ים ’ĕlōhîm)<Ref name="elohim">{{0430}}</Ref>?

=== God meant good ===

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.

== The Death of Joseph ==

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.
