50:1 Then
Joseph
fell
on
his
father's
face
and
wept
over
him
and
kissed
him.
50:2 And
Joseph
commanded
his
servants
the
physicians
to
embalm
his
father.
So
the
physicians
embalmed
Israel.
50:3 Forty
days
were
required
for
it,
for
that
is
how
many
are
required
for
embalming.
And
the
Egyptians
wept
for
him
seventy
days.
50:4 And
when
the
days
of
weeping
for
him
were
past,
Joseph
spoke
to
the
household
of
Pharaoh,
saying,
"If
now
I
have
found
favor
in
your
eyes,
please
speak
in
the
ears
of
Pharaoh,
saying,
50:5 My
father
made
me
swear,
saying,
'I
am
about
to
die:
in
my
tomb
that
I
hewed
out
for
myself
in
the
land
of
Canaan,
there
shall
you
bury
me.'
Now
therefore,
let
me
please
go
up
and
bury
my
father.
Then
I
will
return."
50:6 And
Pharaoh
answered,
"Go
up,
and
bury
your
father,
as
he
made
you
swear."
50:7 So
Joseph
went
up
to
bury
his
father.
With
him
went
up
all
the
servants
of
Pharaoh,
the
elders
of
his
household,
and
all
the
elders
of
the
land
of
Egypt,
50:8 as
well
as
all
the
household
of
Joseph,
his
brothers,
and
his
father's
household.
Only
their
children,
their
flocks,
and
their
herds
were
left
in
the
land
of
Goshen.
50:9 And
there
went
up
with
him
both
chariots
and
horsemen.
It
was
a
very
great
company.
50:10 When
they
came
to
the
threshing
floor
of
Atad,
which
is
beyond
the
Jordan,
they
lamented
there
with
a
very
great
and
grievous
lamentation,
and
he
made
a
mourning
for
his
father
seven
days.
50:11 When
the
inhabitants
of
the
land,
the
Canaanites,
saw
the
mourning
on
the
threshing
floor
of
Atad,
they
said,
"This
is
a
grievous
mourning
by
the
Egyptians."
Therefore
the
place
was
named
Abel-mizraim;
it
is
beyond
the
Jordan.
50:12 Thus
his
sons
did
for
him
as
he
had
commanded
them,
50:13 for
his
sons
carried
him
to
the
land
of
Canaan
and
buried
him
in
the
cave
of
the
field
at
Machpelah,
to
the
east
of
Mamre,
which
Abraham
bought
with
the
field
from
Ephron
the
Hittite
to
possess
as
a
burying
place.
50:14 After
he
had
buried
his
father,
Joseph
returned
to
Egypt
with
his
brothers
and
all
who
had
gone
up
with
him
to
bury
his
father.
50:15 When
Joseph's
brothers
saw
that
their
father
was
dead,
they
said,
"It
may
be
that
Joseph
will
hate
us
and
pay
us
back
for
all
the
evil
that
we
did
to
him."
50:16 So
they
sent
a
message
to
Joseph,
saying,
"Your
father
gave
this
command
before
he
died,
50:17 'Say
to
Joseph,
Please
forgive
the
transgression
of
your
brothers
and
their
sin,
because
they
did
evil
to
you.'
And
now,
please
forgive
the
transgression
of
the
servants
of
the
God
of
your
father."
Joseph
wept
when
they
spoke
to
him.
50:18 His
brothers
also
came
and
fell
down
before
him
and
said,
"Behold,
we
are
your
servants."
50:19 But
Joseph
said
to
them,
"Do
not
fear,
for
am
I
in
the
place
of
God
50:20 As
for
you,
you
meant
evil
against
me,
but
God
meant
it
for
good,
to
bring
it
about
that
many
people
should
be
kept
alive,
as
they
are
today.
50:21 So
do
not
fear;
I
will
provide
for
you
and
your
little
ones."
Thus
he
comforted
them
and
spoke
kindly
to
them.
50:22 So
Joseph
remained
in
Egypt,
he
and
his
father's
house.
Joseph
lived
110
years.
50:23 And
Joseph
saw
Ephraim's
children
of
the
third
generation.
The
children
also
of
Machir
the
son
of
Manasseh
were
counted
as
Joseph's
own.
50:24 And
Joseph
said
to
his
brothers,
"I
am
about
to
die,
but
God
will
visit
you
and
bring
you
up
out
of
this
land
to
the
land
that
he
swore
to
Abraham,
to
Isaac,
and
to
Jacob."
50:25 Then
Joseph
made
the
sons
of
Israel
swear,
saying,
"God
will
surely
visit
you,
and
you
shall
carry
up
my
bones
from
here."
50:26 So
Joseph
died,
being
110
years
old.
They
embalmed
him,
and
he
was
put
in
a
coffin
in
Egypt.
