Ye thought evil unto me: but God turned it unto good to bring to pass, as it is this day, even to save much people alive.

When Joseph's brethren saw that their father was dead, they said, "Joseph might fortune to hate us and reward us again all the evil which we did unto him."

And so Joseph died, when he was a hundred and ten years old. And they embalmed him and put him in a chest in Egypt.

And Joseph said unto his brethren, "I die; And God will surely visit you and bring you out of this land, unto the land which he sware unto Abraham, Isaac and Jacob."

And Joseph fell upon his father's face, and wept upon him, and kissed him.

And Joseph said unto them, "Fear not, for am not I under God?

And Joseph took an oath of the children of Israel and said, "God will not fail but visit you: see therefore that ye carry my bones hence."

And when they came to the field of Atad beyond Jordan, there they made great and exceeding sore lamentation. And he mourned for his father seven days.

And Joseph saw Ephraim's children, even unto the third generation. And unto Machir the son of Manasseh were children born, and sat on Joseph's knees.

Joseph dwelt in Egypt and his father's house also, and lived a hundred and ten years.

And his sons carried him into the land of Canaan and buried him in the double cave which Abraham had bought with the field to be a place to bury in, of Ephron the Hittite before Mamre.

And Joseph commanded his servants that were physicians, to embalm his father, and the physicians embalmed Israel forty days long,

for so long doth the embalming last, and the Egyptians bewept him seventy days.

'This wise say unto Joseph: forgive, I pray thee, the trespass of thy brethren and their sin, for they rewarded thee evil.' Now therefore we pray thee, forgive the trespass of the servants of thy father's God." And Joseph wept when they spake unto him.

When the inhabiters of the land the Canaanites saw the mourning in the field of Atad, they said, "This is a great mourning which the Egyptians make." Wherefore the name of the place is called Abelmizraim, which place lieth beyond Jordan.

And when the days of weeping were ended, Joseph spake unto the house of Pharaoh, saying, "If I have found favour in your eyes, speak unto Pharaoh and tell him, how that

Fear not therefore, for I will care for you and for your children." And he spake kindly unto them.

And Joseph returned to Egypt again, and his brethren, and all that went up with him to bury his father, as soon as he had buried him.

And Joseph went up to bury his father, and with him went all the servants of Pharaoh that were the elders of his house, and all the elders of Egypt,

my father made me swear and said, 'Lo, I die, see that thou bury me in my grave which I have made me in the land of Canaan.' Now therefore let me go and bury my father, and then will I come again."

And his brethren came and fell before him and said, "Behold we be thy servants."

And there went with him also Chariots and horsemen: so that they were an exceeding great company.

And his sons did unto him according as he had commanded them.

They did therefore a commandment unto Joseph saying, "Thy father charged before his death saying,

and all the house of Joseph and his brethren and his father's house: only their children and their sheep and their cattle left they behind them in the land of Goshen.

And Pharaoh said, "Go and bury thy father, according as he made thee swear."
