Thematic Bible: Exacts a promise from joseph to bury him with his forefathers


Thematic Bible



And the time of his death came near, and he sent for his son Joseph and said to him, If now I am dear to you, put your hand under my leg and take an oath that you will not put me to rest in Egypt; But when I go to my fathers, you are to take me out of Egypt and put me to rest in their last resting-place. And he said, I will do so. And he said, Take an oath to me; and he took an oath to him: and Israel gave worship on the bed's head.
