01:049:022 Joseph is a fruitful bough, even a fruitful bough by a well;
           whose branches run over the wall: 

01:049:023 The archers have sorely grieved him, and shot at him, and
           hated him: 

01:049:024 But his bow abode in strength, and the arms of his hands were
           made strong by the hands of the mighty God of Jacob; (from
           thence is the shepherd, the stone of Israel:)

01:049:025 Even by the God of thy father, who shall help thee; and by the
           Almighty, who shall bless thee with blessings of heaven above,
           blessings of the deep that lieth under, blessings of the
           breasts, and of the womb: 

01:049:026 The blessings of thy father have prevailed above the blessings
           of my progenitors unto the utmost bound of the everlasting
           hills:  they shall be on the head of Joseph, and on the crown
           of the head of him that was separate from his brethren.

01:049:027 Benjamin shall ravin as a wolf:  in the morning he shall devour
           the prey, and at night he shall divide the spoil.

01:049:028 All these are the twelve tribes of Israel:  and this is it that
           their father spake unto them, and blessed them; every one
           according to his blessing he blessed them.

01:049:029 And he charged them, and said unto them, I am to be gathered
           unto my people:  bury me with my fathers in the cave that is in
           the field of Ephron the Hittite,

01:049:030 In the cave that is in the field of Machpelah, which is before
           Mamre, in the land of Canaan, which Abraham bought with the
           field of Ephron the Hittite for a possession of a
           buryingplace.

01:049:031 There they buried Abraham and Sarah his wife; there they
           buried Isaac and Rebekah his wife; and there I buried Leah.

01:049:032 The purchase of the field and of the cave that is therein was
           from the children of Heth.

01:049:033 And when Jacob had made an end of commanding his sons, he
           gathered up his feet into the bed, and yielded up the ghost,
           and was gathered unto his people.

01:050:001 And Joseph fell upon his father’s face, and wept upon him, and
           kissed him.

01:050:002 And Joseph commanded his servants the physicians to embalm his
           father:  and the physicians embalmed Israel.

01:050:003 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.

01:050:004 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,
