Gen 50:1 And Joseph [03130] fell [05307] (8799) upon his father's [01] face [06440], and wept [01058] (8799) upon him, and kissed [05401] (8799) him.
Gen 50:2 And Joseph [03130] commanded [06680] (8762) his servants [05650] the physicians [07495] (8802) to embalm [02590] (8800) his father [01]: and the physicians [07495] (8802) embalmed [02590] (8799) Israel [03478].
Gen 50:3 And forty [0705] days [03117] were fulfilled [04390] (8799) for him; for so are fulfilled [04390] (8799) the days [03117] of those which are embalmed [02590] (8803): and the Egyptians [04714] mourned [01058] (8799) for him threescore and ten [07657] days [03117].
Gen 50:4 And when the days [03117] of his mourning [01068] were past [05674] (8799), Joseph [03130] spake [01696] (8762) unto the house [01004] of Pharaoh [06547], saying [0559] (8800), If now I have found [04672] (8804) grace [02580] in your eyes [05869], speak [01696] (8761), I pray you, in the ears [0241] of Pharaoh [06547], saying [0559] (8800),
Gen 50:5 My father [01] made me swear [07650] (8689), saying [0559] (8800), Lo [02009], I die [04191] (8801): in my grave [06913] which I have digged [03738] (8804) for me in the land [0776] of Canaan [03667], there shalt thou bury me [06912] (8799). Now therefore let me go up [05927] (8799), I pray thee, and bury [06912] (8799) my father [01], and I will come again [07725] (8799).
Gen 50:6 And Pharaoh [06547] said [0559] (8799), Go up [05927] (8798), and bury [06912] (8798) thy father [01], according as he made thee swear [07650] (8689).
Gen 50:7 And Joseph [03130] went up [05927] (8799) to bury [06912] (8800) his father [01]: and with him went up [05927] (8799) all the servants [05650] of Pharaoh [06547], the elders [02205] of his house [01004], and all the elders [02205] of the land [0776] of Egypt [04714],
Gen 50:8 And all the house [01004] of Joseph [03130], and his brethren [0251], and his father's [01] house [01004]: only their little ones [02945], and their flocks [06629], and their herds [01241], they left [05800] (8804) in the land [0776] of Goshen [01657].
Gen 50:9 And there went up [05927] (8799) with him both chariots [07393] and horsemen [06571]: and it was a very [03966] great [03515] company [04264].
Gen 50:10 And they came [0935] (8799) to the threshingfloor [01637] of Atad [0329], which is beyond [05676] Jordan [03383], and there they mourned [05594] (8799) with a great [01419] and very [03966] sore [03515] lamentation [04553]: and he made [06213] (8799) a mourning [060] for his father [01] seven [07651] days [03117].
Gen 50:11 And when the inhabitants [03427] (8802) of the land [0776], the Canaanites [03669], saw [07200] (8799) the mourning [060] in the floor [01637] of Atad [0329], they said [0559] (8799), This is a grievous [03515] mourning [060] to the Egyptians [04714]: wherefore the name of it [08034] was called [07121] (8804) Abelmizraim [067], which is beyond [05676] Jordan [03383].
Gen 50:12 And his sons [01121] did [06213] (8799) unto him according as he commanded [06680] (8765) them:
Gen 50:13 For his sons [01121] carried [05375] (8799) him into the land [0776] of Canaan [03667], and buried [06912] (8799) him in the cave [04631] of the field [07704] of Machpelah [04375], which Abraham [085] bought [07069] (8804) with the field [07704] for a possession [0272] of a buryingplace [06913] of Ephron [06085] the Hittite [02850], before [06440] Mamre [04471].
Gen 50:14 And Joseph [03130] returned [07725] (8799) into Egypt [04714], he, and his brethren [0251], and all that went up [05927] (8802) with him to bury [06912] (8800) his father [01], after [0310] he had buried [06912] (8800) his father [01].
Gen 50:15 And when Joseph's [03130] brethren [0251] saw [07200] (8799) that their father [01] was dead [04191] (8804), they said [0559] (8799), Joseph [03130] will peradventure [03863] hate us [07852] (8799), and will certainly [07725] (8687) requite [07725] (8686) us all the evil [07451] which we did [01580] (8804) unto him.
Gen 50:16 And they sent a messenger [06680] (8762) unto Joseph [03130], saying [0559] (8800), Thy father [01] did command [06680] (8765) before [06440] he died [04194], saying [0559] (8800),
Gen 50:17 So shall ye say [0559] (8799) unto Joseph [03130], Forgive [05375] (8798), I pray thee [0577] now, the trespass [06588] of thy brethren [0251], and their sin [02403]; for they did [01580] (8804) unto thee evil [07451]: and now, we pray thee, forgive [05375] (8798) the trespass [06588] of the servants [05650] of the God [0430] of thy father [01]. And Joseph [03130] wept [01058] (8799) when they spake [01696] (8763) unto him.
Gen 50:18 And his brethren [0251] also went [03212] (8799) and fell down [05307] (8799) before his face [06440]; and they said [0559] (8799), Behold, we [be] thy servants [05650].
Gen 50:19 And Joseph [03130] said [0559] (8799) unto them, Fear [03372] (8799) not: for [am] I in the place of God [0430]?
Gen 50:20 But as for you, ye thought [02803] (8804) evil [07451] against me; [but] God [0430] meant it [02803] (8804) unto good [02896], to [04616] bring to pass [06213] (8800), as it is this day [03117], to save [02421] [00] much [07227] people [05971] alive [02421] (8687).
Gen 50:21 Now therefore fear [03372] (8799) ye not: I will nourish [03557] (8770) you, and your little ones [02945]. And he comforted [05162] (8762) them, and spake [01696] (8762) kindly [03820] unto them.
Gen 50:22 And Joseph [03130] dwelt [03427] (8799) in Egypt [04714], he, and his father's [01] house [01004]: and Joseph [03130] lived [02421] (8799) an hundred [03967] and ten [06235] years [08141].
Gen 50:23 And Joseph [03130] saw [07200] (8799) Ephraim's [0669] children [01121] of the third [08029] [generation]: the children [01121] also of Machir [04353] the son [01121] of Manasseh [04519] were brought up [03205] (8795) upon Joseph's [03130] knees [01290].
Gen 50:24 And Joseph [03130] said [0559] (8799) unto his brethren [0251], I die [04191] (8801): and God [0430] will surely [06485] (8800) visit [06485] (8799) you, and bring you out [05927] (8689) of this land [0776] unto the land [0776] which he sware [07650] (8738) to Abraham [085], to Isaac [03327], and to Jacob [03290].
Gen 50:25 And Joseph [03130] took an oath [07650] (8686) of the children [01121] of Israel [03478], saying [0559] (8800), God [0430] will surely [06485] (8800) visit [06485] (8799) you, and ye shall carry up [05927] (8689) my bones [06106] from hence [02088].
Gen 50:26 So Joseph [03130] died [04191] (8799), [being] an hundred [03967] and ten [06235] years [08141] old [01121]: and they embalmed [02590] (8799) him, and he was put [03455] (8799) in a coffin [0727] in Egypt [04714].
