01:043:034 And he took and sent messes unto them from before him: butBenjamin's mess was five times so much as any of their's. Andthey drank, and were merry with him.
01:044:001 And he commanded the steward of his house, saying, Fill themen's sacks with food, as much as they can carry, and putevery man's money in his sack's mouth.
01:044:002 And put my cup, the silver cup, in the sack's mouth of theyoungest, and his corn money. And he did according to the wordthat Joseph had spoken.
01:044:003 As soon as the morning was light, the men were sent away, they and their asses.
01:044:004 And when they were gone out of the city, and not yet far off, Joseph said unto his steward, Up, follow after the men; and when thou dost overtake them, say unto them, Wherefore have ye rewarded evil for good?
01:044:005 Is not this it in which my lord drinketh, and whereby indeed he divineth? ye have done evil in so doing.
01:044:006 And he overtook them, and he spake unto them these same words.
01:044:007 And they said unto him, Wherefore saith my lord these words?God forbid that thy servants should do according to thisthing:
01:044:008 Behold, the money, which we found in our sacks' mouths, webrought again unto thee out of the land of Canaan: how thenshould we steal out of thy lord's house silver or gold?
01:044:009 With whomsoever of thy servants it be found, both let him die, and we also will be my lord's bondmen.
01:044:010 And he said, Now also let it be according unto your words: he with whom it is found shall be my servant; and ye shall be blameless.
01:044:011 Then they speedily took down every man his sack to the ground,and opened every man his sack.
01:044:012 And he searched, and began at the eldest, and left at theyoungest: and the cup was found in Benjamin's sack.
01:044:013 Then they rent their clothes, and laded every man his ass, andreturned to the city.
01:044:014 And Judah and his brethren came to Joseph's house; for he wasyet there: and they fell before him on the ground.
01:044:015 And Joseph said unto them, What deed is this that ye havedone? wot ye not that such a man as I can certainly divine?
01:044:016 And Judah said, What shall we say unto my lord? what shall we speak? or how shall we clear ourselves? God hath found out the iniquity of thy servants: behold, we are my lord's servants, both we, and he also with whom the cup is found.
01:044:017 And he said, God forbid that I should do so: but the man in whose hand the cup is found, he shall be my servant; and as for you, get you up in peace unto your father.
01:044:018 Then Judah came near unto him, and said, Oh my lord, let thy servant, I pray thee, speak a word in my lord's ears, and let not thine anger burn against thy servant: for thou art even as Pharaoh.
01:044:019 My lord asked his servants, saying, Have ye a father, or a brother?
01:044:020 And we said unto my lord, We have a father, an old man, and a child of his old age, a little one; and his brother is dead, and he alone is left of his mother, and his father loveth him.
01:044:021 And thou saidst unto thy servants, Bring him down unto me,that I may set mine eyes upon him.
01:044:022 And we said unto my lord, The lad cannot leave his father: forif he should leave his father, his father would die.
01:044:023 And thou saidst unto thy servants, Except your youngestbrother come down with you, ye shall see my face no more.
01:044:024 And it came to pass when we came up unto thy servant myfather, we told him the words of my lord.
01:044:025 And our father said, Go again, and buy us a little food.
01:044:026 And we said, We cannot go down: if our youngest brother be with us, then will we go down: for we may not see the man's face, except our youngest brother be with us.
01:044:027 And thy servant my father said unto us, Ye know that my wifebare me two sons:
01:044:028 And the one went out from me, and I said, Surely he is torn inpieces; and I saw him not since:
01:044:029 And if ye take this also from me, and mischief befall him, yeshall bring down my gray hairs with sorrow to the grave.
01:044:030 Now therefore when I come to thy servant my father, and thelad be not with us; seeing that his life is bound up in thelad's life;
01:044:031 It shall come to pass, when he seeth that the lad is not withus, that he will die: and thy servants shall bring down thegray hairs of thy servant our father with sorrow to the grave.
01:044:032 For thy servant became surety for the lad unto my father,saying, If I bring him not unto thee, then I shall bear theblame to my father for ever.
01:044:033 Now therefore, I pray thee, let thy servant abide instead ofthe lad a bondman to my lord; and let the lad go up with hisbrethren.
01:044:034 For how shall I go up to my father, and the lad be not withme? lest peradventure I see the evil that shall come on myfather.
01:045:001 Then Joseph could not refrain himself before all them that stood by him; and he cried, Cause every man to go out from me. And there stood no man with him, while Joseph made himself known unto his brethren.
01:045:002 And he wept aloud: and the Egyptians and the house of Pharaoh heard.
01:045:003 And Joseph said unto his brethren, I am Joseph; doth my fatheryet live? And his brethren could not answer him; for they weretroubled at his presence.
01:045:004 And Joseph said unto his brethren, Come near to me, I prayyou. And they came near. And he said, I am Joseph yourbrother, whom ye sold into Egypt.
01:045:005 Now therefore be not grieved, nor angry with yourselves, thatye sold me hither: for God did send me before you to preservelife.
01:045:006 For these two years hath the famine been in the land: and yetthere are five years, in the which there shall neither beearing nor harvest.
01:045:007 And God sent me before you to preserve you a posterity in the earth, and to save your lives by a great deliverance.
01:045:008 So now it was not you that sent me hither, but God: and hehath made me a father to Pharaoh, and lord of all his house,and a ruler throughout all the land of Egypt.
01:045:009 Haste ye, and go up to my father, and say unto him, Thus saiththy son Joseph, God hath made me lord of all Egypt: come downunto me, tarry not:
01:045:010 And thou shalt dwell in the land of Goshen, and thou shalt be near unto me, thou, and thy children, and thy children's children, and thy flocks, and thy herds, and all that thou hast:
01:045:011 And there will I nourish thee; for yet there are five years of famine; lest thou, and thy household, and all that thou hast, come to poverty.
01:045:012 And, behold, your eyes see, and the eyes of my brother Benjamin, that it is my mouth that speaketh unto you.
01:045:013 And ye shall tell my father of all my glory in Egypt, and of all that ye have seen; and ye shall haste and bring down my father hither.
01:045:014 And he fell upon his brother Benjamin's neck, and wept; andBenjamin wept upon his neck.
01:045:015 Moreover he kissed all his brethren, and wept upon them: andafter that his brethren talked with him.
01:045:016 And the fame thereof was heard in Pharaoh's house, saying, Joseph's brethren are come: and it pleased Pharaoh well, and his servants.
01:045:017 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, Say unto thy brethren, This do ye; lade your beasts, and go, get you unto the land of Canaan;
01:045:018 And take your father and your households, and come unto me:and I will give you the good of the land of Egypt, and yeshall eat the fat of the land.
01:045:019 Now thou art commanded, this do ye; take you wagons out of theland of Egypt for your little ones, and for your wives, andbring your father, and come.
01:045:020 Also regard not your stuff; for the good of all the land ofEgypt is your's.
01:045:021 And the children of Israel did so: and Joseph gave themwagons, according to the commandment of Pharaoh, and gave themprovision for the way.
01:045:022 To all of them he gave each man changes of raiment; but toBenjamin he gave three hundred pieces of silver, and fivechanges of raiment.
01:045:023 And to his father he sent after this manner; ten asses ladenwith the good things of Egypt, and ten she asses laden withcorn and bread and meat for his father by the way.
01:045:024 So he sent his brethren away, and they departed: and he saidunto them, See that ye fall not out by the way.
01:045:025 And they went up out of Egypt, and came into the land ofCanaan unto Jacob their father,
01:045:026 And told him, saying, Joseph is yet alive, and he is governorover all the land of Egypt. And Jacob's heart fainted, for hebelieved them not.
01:045:027 And they told him all the words of Joseph, which he had saidunto them: and when he saw the wagons which Joseph had sent tocarry him, the spirit of Jacob their father revived:
01:045:028 And Israel said, It is enough; Joseph my son is yet alive: I will go and see him before I die.
01:046:001 And Israel took his journey with all that he had, and came to Beersheba, and offered sacrifices unto the God of his father Isaac.
01:046:002 And God spake unto Israel in the visions of the night, andsaid, Jacob, Jacob. And he said, Here am I.
01:046:003 And he said, I am God, the God of thy father: fear not to godown into Egypt; for I will there make of thee a great nation:
01:046:004 I will go down with thee into Egypt; and I will also surelybring thee up again: and Joseph shall put his hand upon thineeyes.
01:046:005 And Jacob rose up from Beersheba: and the sons of Israelcarried Jacob their father, and their little ones, and theirwives, in the wagons which Pharaoh had sent to carry him.
01:046:006 And they took their cattle, and their goods, which they hadgotten in the land of Canaan, and came into Egypt, Jacob, andall his seed with him:
01:046:007 His sons, and his sons' sons with him, his daughters, and hissons' daughters, and all his seed brought he with him intoEgypt.
01:046:008 And these are the names of the children of Israel, which cameinto Egypt, Jacob and his sons: Reuben, Jacob's firstborn.
01:046:009 And the sons of Reuben; Hanoch, and Phallu, and Hezron, andCarmi.
01:046:010 And the sons of Simeon; Jemuel, and Jamin, and Ohad, andJachin, and Zohar, and Shaul the son of a Canaanitish woman.
01:046:011 And the sons of Levi; Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.
01:046:012 And the sons of Judah; Er, and Onan, and Shelah, and Pharez, and Zarah: but Er and Onan died in the land of Canaan. And the sons of Pharez were Hezron and Hamul.
01:046:013 And the sons of Issachar; Tola, and Phuvah, and Job, and Shimron.
01:046:014 And the sons of Zebulun; Sered, and Elon, and Jahleel.
01:046:015 These be the sons of Leah, which she bare unto Jacob in Padanaram, with his daughter Dinah: all the souls of his sons and his daughters were thirty and three.
01:046:016 And the sons of Gad; Ziphion, and Haggi, Shuni, and Ezbon, Eri, and Arodi, and Areli.
01:046:017 And the sons of Asher; Jimnah, and Ishuah, and Isui, and Beriah, and Serah their sister: and the sons of Beriah; Heber, and Malchiel.
01:046:018 These are the sons of Zilpah, whom Laban gave to Leah his daughter, and these she bare unto Jacob, even sixteen souls.
01:046:019 The sons of Rachel Jacob's wife; Joseph, and Benjamin.
01:046:020 And unto Joseph in the land of Egypt were born Manasseh and Ephraim, which Asenath the daughter of Potipherah priest of On bare unto him.
01:046:021 And the sons of Benjamin were Belah, and Becher, and Ashbel,Gera, and Naaman, Ehi, and Rosh, Muppim, and Huppim, and Ard.
01:046:022 These are the sons of Rachel, which were born to Jacob: allthe souls were fourteen.
01:046:023 And the sons of Dan; Hushim.
01:046:024 And the sons of Naphtali; Jahzeel, and Guni, and Jezer, and Shillem.
01:046:025 These are the sons of Bilhah, which Laban gave unto Rachel hisdaughter, and she bare these unto Jacob: all the souls wereseven.
01:046:026 All the souls that came with Jacob into Egypt, which came outof his loins, besides Jacob's sons' wives, all the souls werethreescore and six;
01:046:027 And the sons of Joseph, which were born him in Egypt, were twosouls: all the souls of the house of Jacob, which came intoEgypt, were threescore and ten.
01:046:028 And he sent Judah before him unto Joseph, to direct his face unto Goshen; and they came into the land of Goshen.
01:046:029 And Joseph made ready his chariot, and went up to meet Israel his father, to Goshen, and presented himself unto him; and he fell on his neck, and wept on his neck a good while.
01:046:030 And Israel said unto Joseph, Now let me die, since I have seen thy face, because thou art yet alive.
01:046:031 And Joseph said unto his brethren, and unto his father's house, I will go up, and shew Pharaoh, and say unto him, My brethren, and my father's house, which were in the land of Canaan, are come unto me;
01:046:032 And the men are shepherds, for their trade hath been to feed cattle; and they have brought their flocks, and their herds, and all that they have.
01:046:033 And it shall come to pass, when Pharaoh shall call you, and shall say, What is your occupation?
01:046:034 That ye shall say, Thy servants' trade hath been about cattlefrom our youth even until now, both we, and also our fathers:that ye may dwell in the land of Goshen; for every shepherd isan abomination unto the Egyptians.
01:047:001 Then Joseph came and told Pharaoh, and said, My father and mybrethren, and their flocks, and their herds, and all that theyhave, are come out of the land of Canaan; and, behold, theyare in the land of Goshen.
01:047:002 And he took some of his brethren, even five men, and presented them unto Pharaoh.
01:047:003 And Pharaoh said unto his brethren, What is your occupation? And they said unto Pharaoh, Thy servants are shepherds, both we, and also our fathers.
01:047:004 They said morever unto Pharaoh, For to sojourn in the land are we come; for thy servants have no pasture for their flocks; for the famine is sore in the land of Canaan: now therefore, we pray thee, let thy servants dwell in the land of Goshen.
01:047:005 And Pharaoh spake unto Joseph, saying, Thy father and thy brethren are come unto thee:
01:047:006 The land of Egypt is before thee; in the best of the land make thy father and brethren to dwell; in the land of Goshen let them dwell: and if thou knowest any men of activity among them, then make them rulers over my cattle.
01:047:007 And Joseph brought in Jacob his father, and set him before Pharaoh: and Jacob blessed Pharaoh.
01:047:008 And Pharaoh said unto Jacob, How old art thou?
01:047:009 And Jacob said unto Pharaoh, The days of the years of my pilgrimage are an hundred and thirty years: few and evil have the days of the years of my life been, and have not attained unto the days of the years of the life of my fathers in the days of their pilgrimage.
01:047:010 And Jacob blessed Pharaoh, and went out from before Pharaoh.
01:047:011 And Joseph placed his father and his brethren, and gave them a possession in the land of Egypt, in the best of the land, in the land of Rameses, as Pharaoh had commanded.
01:047:012 And Joseph nourished his father, and his brethren, and all his father's household, with bread, according to their families.
01:047:013 And there was no bread in all the land; for the famine was very sore, so that the land of Egypt and all the land of Canaan fainted by reason of the famine.
01:047:014 And Joseph gathered up all the money that was found in theland of Egypt, and in the land of Canaan, for the corn whichthey bought: and Joseph brought the money into Pharaoh'shouse.
01:047:015 And when money failed in the land of Egypt, and in the land ofCanaan, all the Egyptians came unto Joseph, and said, Give usbread: for why should we die in thy presence? for the moneyfaileth.
01:047:016 And Joseph said, Give your cattle; and I will give you for your cattle, if money fail.
01:047:017 And they brought their cattle unto Joseph: and Joseph gave them bread in exchange for horses, and for the flocks, and for the cattle of the herds, and for the asses: and he fed them with bread for all their cattle for that year.
01:047:018 When that year was ended, they came unto him the second year, and said unto him, We will not hide it from my lord, how that our money is spent; my lord also hath our herds of cattle; there is not ought left in the sight of my lord, but our bodies, and our lands:
01:047:019 Wherefore shall we die before thine eyes, both we and our land? buy us and our land for bread, and we and our land will be servants unto Pharaoh: and give us seed, that we may live, and not die, that the land be not desolate.
01:047:020 And Joseph bought all the land of Egypt for Pharaoh; for the Egyptians sold every man his field, because the famine prevailed over them: so the land became Pharaoh's.
01:047:021 And as for the people, he removed them to cities from one end of the borders of Egypt even to the other end thereof.
01:047:022 Only the land of the priests bought he not; for the priests had a portion assigned them of Pharaoh, and did eat their portion which Pharaoh gave them: wherefore they sold not their lands.
01:047:023 Then Joseph said unto the people, Behold, I have bought you this day and your land for Pharaoh: lo, here is seed for you, and ye shall sow the land.
01:047:024 And it shall come to pass in the increase, that ye shall give the fifth part unto Pharaoh, and four parts shall be your own, for seed of the field, and for your food, and for them of your households, and for food for your little ones.
01:047:025 And they said, Thou hast saved our lives: let us find grace in the sight of my lord, and we will be Pharaoh's servants.
01:047:026 And Joseph made it a law over the land of Egypt unto this day,that Pharaoh should have the fifth part, except the land ofthe priests only, which became not Pharaoh's.
01:047:027 And Israel dwelt in the land of Egypt, in the country ofGoshen; and they had possessions therein, and grew, andmultiplied exceedingly.
01:047:028 And Jacob lived in the land of Egypt seventeen years: so the whole age of Jacob was an hundred forty and seven years.
01:047:029 And the time drew nigh that Israel must die: and he called his son Joseph, and said unto him, If now I have found grace in thy sight, put, I pray thee, thy hand under my thigh, and deal kindly and truly with me; bury me not, I pray thee, in Egypt:
01:047:030 But I will lie with my fathers, and thou shalt carry me out of Egypt, and bury me in their buryingplace. And he said, I will do as thou hast said.
01:047:031 And he said, Swear unto me. And he sware unto him. And Israel bowed himself upon the bed's head.
01:048:001 And it came to pass after these things, that one told Joseph,Behold, thy father is sick: and he took with him his two sons,Manasseh and Ephraim.
01:048:002 And one told Jacob, and said, Behold, thy son Joseph comethunto thee: and Israel strengthened himself, and sat upon thebed.
01:048:003 And Jacob said unto Joseph, God Almighty appeared unto me atLuz in the land of Canaan, and blessed me,
01:048:004 And said unto me, Behold, I will make thee fruitful, and multiply thee, and I will make of thee a multitude of people; and will give this land to thy seed after thee for an everlasting possession.
01:048:005 And now thy two sons, Ephraim and Manasseh, which were bornunto thee in the land of Egypt before I came unto thee intoEgypt, are mine; as Reuben and Simeon, they shall be mine.
01:048:006 And thy issue, which thou begettest after them, shall bethine, and shall be called after the name of their brethren intheir inheritance.
01:048:007 And as for me, when I came from Padan, Rachel died by me in the land of Canaan in the way, when yet there was but a little way to come unto Ephrath: and I buried her there in the way of Ephrath; the same is Bethlehem.
01:048:008 And Israel beheld Joseph's sons, and said, Who are these?
01:048:009 And Joseph said unto his father, They are my sons, whom Godhath given me in this place. And he said, Bring them, I praythee, unto me, and I will bless them.
01:048:010 Now the eyes of Israel were dim for age, so that he could notsee. And he brought them near unto him; and he kissed them,and embraced them.
01:048:011 And Israel said unto Joseph, I had not thought to see thyface: and, lo, God hath shewed me also thy seed.
01:048:012 And Joseph brought them out from between his knees, and hebowed himself with his face to the earth.
01:048:013 And Joseph took them both, Ephraim in his right hand towardIsrael's left hand, and Manasseh in his left hand towardIsrael's right hand, and brought them near unto him.
01:048:014 And Israel stretched out his right hand, and laid it upon Ephraim's head, who was the younger, and his left hand upon Manasseh's head, guiding his hands wittingly; for Manasseh was the firstborn.
01:048:015 And he blessed Joseph, and said, God, before whom my fathers Abraham and Isaac did walk, the God which fed me all my life long unto this day,
01:048:016 The Angel which redeemed me from all evil, bless the lads; andlet my name be named on them, and the name of my fathersAbraham and Isaac; and let them grow into a multitude in themidst of the earth.
01:048:017 And when Joseph saw that his father laid his right hand uponthe head of Ephraim, it displeased him: and he held up hisfather's hand, to remove it from Ephraim's head untoManasseh's head.
01:048:018 And Joseph said unto his father, Not so, my father: for this is the firstborn; put thy right hand upon his head.
01:048:019 And his father refused, and said, I know it, my son, I know it: he also shall become a people, and he also shall be great: but truly his younger brother shall be greater than he, and his seed shall become a multitude of nations.
01:048:020 And he blessed them that day, saying, In thee shall Israel bless, saying, God make thee as Ephraim and as Manasseh: and he set Ephraim before Manasseh.
01:048:021 And Israel said unto Joseph, Behold, I die: but God shall be with you, and bring you again unto the land of your fathers.
01:048:022 Moreover I have given to thee one portion above thy brethren,which I took out of the hand of the Amorite with my sword andwith my bow.
01:049:001 And Jacob called unto his sons, and said, Gather yourselvestogether, that I may tell you that which shall befall you inthe last days.
01:049:002 Gather yourselves together, and hear, ye sons of Jacob; and hearken unto Israel your father.
01:049:003 Reuben, thou art my firstborn, my might, and the beginning ofmy strength, the excellency of dignity, and the excellency ofpower:
01:049:004 Unstable as water, thou shalt not excel; because thou wentestup to thy father's bed; then defiledst thou it: he went up tomy couch.
01:049:005 Simeon and Levi are brethren; instruments of cruelty are in their habitations.
01:049:006 O my soul, come not thou into their secret; unto their assembly, mine honour, be not thou united: for in their anger they slew a man, and in their selfwill they digged down a wall.
01:049:007 Cursed be their anger, for it was fierce; and their wrath, forit was cruel: I will divide them in Jacob, and scatter them inIsrael.
01:049:008 Judah, thou art he whom thy brethren shall praise: thy handshall be in the neck of thine enemies; thy father's childrenshall bow down before thee.
01:049:009 Judah is a lion's whelp: from the prey, my son, thou art goneup: he stooped down, he couched as a lion, and as an old lion;who shall rouse him up?
01:049:010 The sceptre shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver frombetween his feet, until Shiloh come; and unto him shall thegathering of the people be.
01:049:011 Binding his foal unto the vine, and his ass's colt unto thechoice vine; he washed his garments in wine, and his clothesin the blood of grapes:
01:049:012 His eyes shall be red with wine, and his teeth white withmilk.
01:049:013 Zebulun shall dwell at the haven of the sea; and he shall befor an haven of ships; and his border shall be unto Zidon.
01:049:014 Issachar is a strong ass couching down between two burdens:
01:049:015 And he saw that rest was good, and the land that it was pleasant; and bowed his shoulder to bear, and became a servant unto tribute.
01:049:016 Dan shall judge his people, as one of the tribes of Israel.
01:049:017 Dan shall be a serpent by the way, an adder in the path, that biteth the horse heels, so that his rider shall fall backward.
01:049:018 I have waited for thy salvation, O LORD.
01:049:019 Gad, a troop shall overcome him: but he shall overcome at thelast.
01:049:020 Out of Asher his bread shall be fat, and he shall yield royaldainties.
01:049:021 Naphtali is a hind let loose: he giveth goodly words.
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, andhated 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 theAlmighty, who shall bless thee with blessings of heaven above,blessings of the deep that lieth under, blessings of thebreasts, and of the womb:
01:049:026 The blessings of thy father have prevailed above the blessingsof my progenitors unto the utmost bound of the everlastinghills: they shall be on the head of Joseph, and on the crownof 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 thattheir father spake unto them, and blessed them; every oneaccording to his blessing he blessed them.
01:049:029 And he charged them, and said unto them, I am to be gatheredunto my people: bury me with my fathers in the cave that is inthe 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 theyburied 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 wasfrom 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, andkissed him.
01:050:002 And Joseph commanded his servants the physicians to embalm hisfather: and the physicians embalmed Israel.
01:050:003 And forty days were fulfilled for him; for so are fulfilledthe days of those which are embalmed: and the Egyptiansmourned for him threescore and ten days.
01:050:004 And when the days of his mourning were past, Joseph spake untothe house of Pharaoh, saying, If now I have found grace inyour eyes, speak, I pray you, in the ears of Pharaoh, saying,
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 upall the servants of Pharaoh, the elders of his house, and allthe elders of the land of Egypt,
01:050:008 And all the house of Joseph, and his brethren, and hisfather's house: only their little ones, and their flocks, andtheir 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 allthat went up with him to bury his father, after he had buriedhis father.
01:050:015 And when Joseph's brethren saw that their father was dead,they said, Joseph will peradventure hate us, and willcertainly 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; andthey said, Behold, we be thy servants.
01:050:019 And Joseph said unto them, Fear not: for am I in the place ofGod?
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.
01:050:021 Now therefore fear ye not: I will nourish you, and your littleones. And he comforted them, and spake kindly unto them.
01:050:022 And Joseph dwelt in Egypt, he, and his father's house: andJoseph lived an hundred and ten years.
01:050:023 And Joseph saw Ephraim's children of the third generation: thechildren also of Machir the son of Manasseh were brought upupon Joseph's knees.
01:050:024 And Joseph said unto his brethren, I die: and God will surelyvisit you, and bring you out of this land unto the land whichhe sware to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.
01:050:025 And Joseph took an oath of the children of Israel, saying, Godwill surely visit you, and ye shall carry up my bones fromhence.
01:050:026 So Joseph died, being an hundred and ten years old: and they embalmed him, and he was put in a coffin in Egypt.
