Genesis 50

¹ And falling is Joseph on his father's face, and lamenting over him and kissing him. ² And instructing is Joseph his servants, the healers, to embalm his father. And embalming are the healers Israel. ³ And fulfilling are they for him forty days, for so they fill the days of the embalmed. And lamenting are the Egyptians with him seventy days. ⁴ And passing are the days of his lamentation, and speaking is Joseph to the household of Pharaoh, saying, "Pray, should I find grace in your eyes, pray, speak for me in the ears of Pharaoh, saying, that ⁵ my father adjured me before his death saying, 'Behold! I am dying. In my tomb which I dug for myself in the land of Canaan, there shall you entomb me.' And now, pray, up will I go and entomb my father, as I swore, and return." ⁶ And saying is Pharaoh to Joseph, "Go up and entomb your father, as he adjured you." ⁷ And up is Joseph going to entomb his father. And up with him are going all the servants of Pharaoh, and the elders of his household, and all the elders of the land of Egypt, ⁸ and all Joseph's household, and his brothers, and all his father's household. But the tots and the flocks and their herds they leave behind in the land of Goshen. ⁹ And up with him go both chariots and horsemen. And it comes to be an exceedingly heavy camp. ¹⁰ And coming are they unto the threshing site of Atad, which is across the Jordan, and wailing there are they with an exceedingly great and heavy wailing. And making is he a mourning for his father seven days. ¹¹ And seeing are the dwellers in the land, the Canaanites, the mourning on the threshing site of Atad, and saying are they, "A heavy mourning is this for the Egyptians." Therefore its name is called "Abel-Mizrai", which is across the Jordan. ¹² And doing for him are his sons so as he instructs them. ¹³ And carrying him are his sons to the land of Canaan, and entombing him are they in the double cave of the field, the cave which Abraham bought with the field, for a freehold, for a tomb, from Ephron, the Hittite, adjoining Mamre. ¹⁴ And returning is Joseph to Egypt, he and his brothers and all those going up with him to entomb his father, after his father's entombment. ¹⁵ And seeing are Joseph's brothers that their father is dead, and saying are they, "What if Joseph is holding a grudge against us and is reversing, yea reversing to us all the evil with which we requited him?" ¹⁶ And instructions are they giving to Joseph, saying, "Your father gave instructions before his death, saying, ¹⁷ 'Thus are you saying to Joseph: Oh, bear, pray, with the transgression of your brothers and their sin, that with evil they requited you.' And now, pray, bear with the transgression of the servants of the Elohim of your father." And lamenting is Joseph as they speak to him. ¹⁸ And going are his brothers, moreover, and falling before him. And saying are they, "Behold us yours for servants." ¹⁹ And saying to them is Joseph, "You must not fear, for under Elohim am I. ²⁰ And you, you devised against me evil, yet the Elohim devises it for me for good, that it may work out as at this day, to preserve alive many people. ²¹ And now, you must not fear. I'll sustain you and your tots." And comforting them is he, and speaking to their hearts. ²² And dwelling is Joseph in Egypt, he and his brothers, and all his father's household. And living is Joseph a hundred and ten years. ²³ And seeing is Joseph Ephraim's sons to the third generation. Moreover, the sons of Machir, the son of Manasseh, were born on Joseph's knees. ²⁴ And saying is Joseph to his brothers, "I am dying. Yet visit, yea, visit will the Elohim you, and bring you up from this land to the land which the Elohim swore to our forefathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob." ²⁵ And adjuring is Joseph the sons of Israel saying, "Visit, yea, visit you will the Elohim, and up shall you bring my bones with you." ²⁶ And dying is Joseph, a hundred and ten years old. And embalming him are they, and placed is he in a coffer in Egypt.
