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,
