Chapter 50

¹ And when Joseph saw this, he fell upon his father's face weeping and kissing him.
² And he commanded his servants the physicians to embalm his father.
³ And while they were fulfilling his commands, there passed forty days: for this was the manner with bodies that were embalmed, and Egypt mounted for him seventy days.
⁴ And the time of the mourning being expired, Joseph spoke to the family of Pharao: If I have found favour in your sight, speak in the ears of Pharao:
⁵ For my father made me swear to him, saying: Behold I die: thou shalt bury me in my sepulchre which I have digged for myself in the land of Chanaan. So I will go up and bury my father, and return.
⁶ And Pharao said to him: Go up and bury thy father according as he made thee swear.
⁷ So he went up, and there went with him all the ancients of Pharao's house, and all the elders of the land of Egypt,
⁸ And the house of Joseph with his brethren, except their children, and their flocks and herds, which they left in the land of Gessen.
⁹ He had also in his train chariots and horsemen: and it was it great company.
¹⁰ And they came to the threshingfloor of Atad, which is situated beyond the Jordan: where celebrating the exequies with a great and vehement lamentation, they spent full seven days.
¹¹ And when the inhabitants of Chanaan saw this, they said: This is a great mourning to the Egyptians. And there- fore the name of that place was called, The mourning of Egypt.
¹² So the sons of Jacob did as he had commanded them.
¹³ And carrying him into the land of Chanaan, they buried him in the double cave which Abraham had bought together with the held for a possession of a buryingplace, of Ephron the Hethite over against Mambre.
¹⁴ And Joseph returned into Egypt with his brethren, and all that were in his company, after he had buried his father.
¹⁵ Now he being dead, his brethren were afraid, and talked one with another : Lest perhaps he should remember the wrong he suffered, and requite us all the evil that we did to him.
¹⁶ And they sent a message to him, saying: Thy father commanded us before he died,
¹⁷ That we should say thus much to thee from him: I beseech thee to forget the wickedness of thy brethren, and the sin and malice they practiced against thee: we also pray thee, to forgive the servants of the God of thy father this wickedness. And when Joseph heard this, he wept.
¹⁸ And his brethren came to him: and worshipping prostrate on the ground they said: We are thy servants.
¹⁹ And he answered them: Fear not: can we resist the will of God?
²⁰ You thought evil against me: but God turned it into good, that he might exalt me, as at present you see, and might save many people.
²¹ Fear not: I will feed you and your children. And he comforted them, and spoke gently and mildly.
²² And he dwelt in Egypt with all his father's house: and lived a hundred and ten years. And he saw the children of Ephraim to the third generation. The children also of Machir the son of Ma-nasses were born on Joseph's knees.
²³ After which he told his brethren: God will visit you after my death, and will make you go up out of this land, to the land which he swore to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
²⁴ And he made them swear to him, saying: God will visit you, Carry my bones with you out of this place:
²⁵ And he died being a hundred and ten years old. And being embalmed he was laid in a coffin in Egypt.

⁵ 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, I pray thee, and bury my father, and I will come again.
⁶ And Pharaoh said, Go up, and bury thy father, according as he made thee swear.
⁷ And Joseph went up to bury his father: and with him went all the servants of Pharaoh, the elders of his house, and all the elders of the land of Egypt,
⁸ 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.

¹¹ 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 Abel-mizraim, which is beyond Jordan.
¹² And his sons did to him according as he commanded them:
¹³ 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 burying-place of Ephron the Hittite, before Mamre.
¹⁴ And Joseph returned to Egypt, he and his brethren, and all that went up with him to bury his father, after he had buried his father.
¹⁵ And when Joseph's brethren saw that their father was dead, they said, Joseph will perhaps hate us, and will certainly requite us all the evil which we did to him.
¹⁶ And they sent messengers to Joseph, saying, Thy father commanded before he died, saying,
¹⁷ So shall ye say to Joseph, Forgive, I pray thee now, the trespass of thy brethren, and their sin; for they did to thee evil: and now, we pray thee, forgive the trespass of the servants of the God of thy father. And Joseph wept when they spoke to him.
¹⁸ And his brethren also went and fell down before his face: and they said, Behold, we are thy servants.
¹⁹ And Joseph said to them, Fear not: for am I in the place of God?
²⁰ But as for you, ye thought evil against me; but God meant it for good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save many people alive.
²¹ Now therefore fear ye not: I will nourish you, and your little ones. And he comforted them, and spoke kindly to them.
²² And Joseph dwelt in Egypt, he, and his father's house: and Joseph lived a hundred and ten years.
²³ And Joseph saw Ephraim's children of the third generation: the children also of Machir, the son of Manasseh, were brought up upon Joseph's knees.
²⁴ And Joseph said to his brethren, I die: and God will surely visit you, and bring you out of this land, to the land which he swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.
²⁵ And Joseph took an oath of the children of Israel, saying, God will surely visit you, and ye shall carry up my bones from hence.
²⁶ So Joseph died, being a hundred and ten years old: and they embalmed him, and he was put in a coffin in Egypt.

Chapter 50

¹ And Joseph put his head down on his father's face, weeping and kissing him.
² And Joseph gave orders to his servants who had the necessary knowledge, to make his father's body ready, folding it in linen with spices, and they did so.
³ And the forty days needed for making the body ready went by: and there was weeping for him among the Egyptians for seventy days.
⁴ And when the days of weeping for him were past, Joseph said to the servants of Pharaoh, If now you have love for me, say these words to Pharaoh:
⁵ My father made me take an oath, saying, When I am dead, put me to rest in the place I have made ready for myself in the land of Canaan. So now let me go and put my father in his last resting-place, and I will come back again.
⁶ And Pharaoh said, Go up and put your father to rest, as you gave your oath to him.
⁷ So Joseph went up to put his father in his last resting-place; and with him went all the servants of Pharaoh, and the chief men of his house and all the chiefs of the land of Egypt,
⁸ And all the family of Joseph, and his brothers and his father's people: only their little ones and their flocks and herds they did not take with them from the land of Goshen.
⁹ And carriages went up with him and horsemen, a great army.
¹⁰ And they came to the grain-floor of Atad on the other side of Jordan, and there they gave the last honours to Jacob, with great and bitter sorrow, weeping for their father for seven days.
¹¹ And when the people of the land, the people of Canaan, at the grain-floor of Atad, saw their grief, they said, Great is the grief of the Egyptians: so the place was named Abel-mizraim, on the other side of Jordan.
¹² So his sons did as he had given them orders to do:
¹³ For they took him into the land of Canaan and put him to rest in the hollow rock in the field of Machpelah, which Abraham got with the field, for a resting-place, from Ephron the Hittite at Mamre.
¹⁴ And when his father had been put to rest, Joseph and his brothers and all who had gone with him, went back to Egypt.
¹⁵ Now after the death of their father, Joseph's brothers said to themselves, It may be that Joseph's heart will be turned against us, and he will give us punishment for all the evil which we did to him.
¹⁶ So they sent word to Joseph, saying, Your father, before his death, gave us orders, saying,
¹⁷ You are to say to Joseph, Let the wrongdoing of your brothers be overlooked, and the evil they did to you: now, if it is your pleasure, let the sin of the servants of your father's God have forgiveness. And at these words, Joseph was overcome with weeping.
¹⁸ Then his brothers went, and falling at his feet, said, Truly, we are your servants.
¹⁹ And Joseph said, Have no fear: am I in the place of God?
²⁰ As for you, it was in your mind to do me evil, but God has given a happy outcome, the salvation of numbers of people, as you see today.
²¹ So now, have no fear: for I will take care of you and your little ones. So he gave them comfort with kind words.
²² Now Joseph and all his father's family went on living in Egypt: and the years of Joseph's life were a hundred and ten.
²³ And Joseph saw Ephraim's children of the third generation: and the children of Machir, the son of Manasseh, came to birth on Joseph's knees.
²⁴ Then Joseph said to his brothers, The time of my death has come; but God will keep you in mind and take you out of this land into the land which he gave by his oath to Abraham and Isaac and Jacob.
²⁵ Then Joseph made the children of Israel take an oath, saying, God will certainly give effect to his word, and you are to take my bones away from here.
²⁶ So Joseph came to his death, being a hundred and ten years old: and they made his body ready, and he was put in a chest in Egypt.
