Genesis 47:27-31 - Israel Settles In Goshen

27 The Israelites lived in Egypt in the region of Goshen. They became rich and had many children. 28 Jacob lived in Egypt seventeen years, until he was a hundred and forty-seven years old. 29 When the time drew near for him to die, he called for his son Joseph and said to him: Place your hand under my thighs and make a solemn vow that you will not bury me in Egypt. 30 I want to be buried where my fathers are. Carry me out of Egypt and bury me where they are buried. Joseph answered: I will do as you say.

31 Jacob said: Make a vow that you will. Joseph made the vow. Jacob gave thanks there on his bed.
