 50:1  And Joseph fell upon his father's face, and wept upon
him, and kissed him.
 50:2  And Joseph commanded his servants the physicians to
embalm his father: and the physicians embalmed Israel.
 50:3  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.
 50:4  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,
 50:5  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.
 50:6  And Pharaoh said, Go up, and bury thy father, according
as he made thee swear.
 50:7  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,
 50:8  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.
 50:9  And there went up with him both chariots and horsemen:
and it was a very great company.
 50:10  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.
 50:11  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.
 50:12  And his sons did unto him according as he commanded
them:
 50:13  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.
 50:14  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.
 50:15  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.
 50:16  And they sent a messenger unto Joseph, saying, Thy
father did command before he died, saying,
 50:17  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.
 50:18  And his brethren also went and fell down before his
face; and they said, Behold, we [be] thy servants.
 50:19  And Joseph said unto them, Fear not: for [am] I in the
place of God?
 50:20  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.
 50:21  Now therefore fear ye not: I will nourish you, and your
little ones. And he comforted them, and spake kindly unto them.
 50:22  And Joseph dwelt in Egypt, he, and his father's house:
and Joseph lived an hundred and ten years.
 50:23  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.
 50:24  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.
 50:25  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.
 50:26  So Joseph died, [being] an hundred and ten years old:
and they embalmed him, and he was put in a coffin in Egypt.
