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.
