01:050:005 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.

01:050:006 And Pharaoh said, Go up, and bury thy father, according as he
           made thee swear.

01:050:007 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,

01:050:008 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.

01:050:009 And there went up with him both chariots and horsemen:  and it
           was a very great company.

01:050:010 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.

01:050:011 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.

01:050:012 And his sons did unto him according as he commanded them: 

01:050:013 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.

01:050:014 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.

01:050:015 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.

01:050:016 And they sent a messenger unto Joseph, saying, Thy father did
           command before he died, saying,

01:050:017 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.

01:050:018 And his brethren also went and fell down before his face; and
           they said, Behold, we be thy servants.

01:050:019 And Joseph said unto them, Fear not:  for am I in the place of
           God?

01:050:020 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.
