Genesis 50:1 (NET) New English Translation

1 Then Joseph hugged his father's face. He wept over him and kissed him.
2 Joseph instructed the physicians in his service to embalm his father, so the physicians embalmed Israel.
3 They took forty days, for that is the full time needed for embalming. The Egyptians mourned for him seventy days.
4 When the days of mourning had passed, Joseph said to Pharaoh's royal court, "If I have found favor in your sight, please say to Pharaoh,
5 'My father made me swear an oath. He said, "I am about to die. Bury me in my tomb that I dug for myself there in the land of Canaan." Now let me go and bury my father; then I will return.'"
6 So Pharaoh said, "Go and bury your father, just as he made you swear to do."
7 So Joseph went up to bury his father; all Pharaoh's officials went with him� the senior courtiers of his household, all the senior officials of the land of Egypt,
8 all Joseph's household, his brothers, and his father's household. But they left their little children and their flocks and herds in the land of Goshen.
9 Chariots and horsemen also went up with him, so it was a very large entourage.
10 When they came to the threshing floor of Atad on the other side of the Jordan, they mourned there with very great and bitter sorrow. There Joseph observed a seven day period of mourning for his father.
11 When the Canaanites who lived in the land saw them mourning at the threshing floor of Atad, they said, "This is a very sad occasion for the Egyptians." That is why its name was called Abel Mizraim, which is beyond the Jordan.
12 So the sons of Jacob did for him just as he had instructed them.
13 His sons carried him to the land of Canaan and buried him in the cave of the field of Machpelah, near Mamre. This is the field Abraham purchased as a burial plot from Ephron the Hittite.
14 After he buried his father, Joseph returned to Egypt, along with his brothers and all who had accompanied him to bury his father.
15 When Joseph's brothers saw that their father was dead, they said, "What if Joseph bears a grudge and wants to repay us in full for all the harm we did to him?"
16 So they sent word to Joseph, saying, "Your father gave these instructions before he died:
17 'Tell Joseph this: Please forgive the sin of your brothers and the wrong they did when they treated you so badly.' Now please forgive the sin of the servants of the God of your father." When this message was reported to him, Joseph wept.
18 Then his brothers also came and threw themselves down before him; they said, "Here we are; we are your slaves."
19 But Joseph answered them, "Don't be afraid. Am I in the place of God?
20 As for you, you meant to harm me, but God intended it for a good purpose, so he could preserve the lives of many people, as you can see this day.
21 So now, don't be afraid. I will provide for you and your little children." Then he consoled them and spoke kindly to them.
22 Joseph lived in Egypt, along with his father's family. Joseph lived 110 years.
23 Joseph saw the descendants of Ephraim to the third generation. He also saw the children of Makir the son of Manasseh; they were given special inheritance rights by Joseph.
24 Then Joseph said to his brothers, "I am about to die. But God will surely come to you and lead you up from this land to the land he swore on oath to give to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob."
25 Joseph made the sons of Israel swear an oath. He said, "God will surely come to you. Then you must carry my bones up from this place."
26 So Joseph died at the age of 110. After they embalmed him, his body was placed in a coffin in Egypt.
1 And Joseph H3130 fell H5307 upon H5921 his father's H1 face, H6440 and wept H1058 upon H5921 him , and kissed H5401 him.
2 And Joseph H3130 commanded H6680 H853 his servants H5650 H853 the physicians H7495 to embalm H2590 H853 his father: H1 and the physicians H7495 embalmed H2590 H853 Israel. H3478
3 And forty H705 days H3117 were fulfilled H4390 for him; for H3588 so H3651 are fulfilled H4390 the days H3117 of those which are embalmed: H2590 and the Egyptians H4714 mourned H1058 for him threescore and ten H7657 days. H3117
4 And when the days H3117 of his mourning H1068 were past, H5674 Joseph H3130 spoke H1696 unto H413 the house H1004 of Pharaoh, H6547 saying, H559 If H518 now H4994 I have found H4672 grace H2580 in your eyes, H5869 speak, H1696 I pray you, H4994 in the ears H241 of Pharaoh, H6547 saying, H559
5 My father H1 made me swear, H7650 saying, H559 Lo, H2009 I H595 die: H4191 in my grave H6913 which H834 I have digged H3738 for me in the land H776 of Canaan, H3667 there H8033 shalt thou bury H6912 me. Now H6258 therefore let me go up, H5927 I pray thee, H4994 and bury H6912 H853 my father, H1 and I will come again. H7725
6 And Pharaoh H6547 said, H559 Go up, H5927 and bury H6912 H853 thy father, H1 according as H834 he made thee swear. H7650
7 And Joseph H3130 went up H5927 to bury H6912 H853 his father: H1 and with H854 him went up H5927 all H3605 the servants H5650 of Pharaoh, H6547 the elders H2205 of his house, H1004 and all H3605 the elders H2205 of the land H776 of Egypt, H4714
8 And all H3605 the house H1004 of Joseph, H3130 and his brethren, H251 and his father's H1 house: H1004 only H7535 their little ones, H2945 and their flocks, H6629 and their herds, H1241 they left H5800 in the land H776 of Goshen. H1657
9 And there went up H5927 with H5973 him both H1571 chariots H7393 and H1571 horsemen: H6571 and it was H1961 a very H3966 great H3515 company. H4264
10 And they came H935 to H5704 the threshingfloor H1637 of Atad, H329 which H834 is beyond H5676 Jordan, H3383 and there H8033 they mourned H5594 with a great H1419 and very H3966 sore H3515 lamentation: H4553 and he made H6213 a mourning H60 for his father H1 seven H7651 days. H3117
11 And when the inhabitants H3427 of the land, H776 the Canaanites, H3669 saw H7200 H853 the mourning H60 in the floor H1637 of Atad, H329 they said, H559 This H2088 is a grievous H3515 mourning H60 to the Egyptians: H4714 wherefore H5921 H3651 the name H8034 of it was called H7121 Abel- H67 mizraim, which H834 is beyond H5676 Jordan. H3383
12 And his sons H1121 did H6213 unto him according as H3651 H834 he commanded H6680 them:
13 For his sons H1121 carried H5375 him into the land H776 of Canaan, H3667 and buried H6912 him in the cave H4631 of the field H7704 of Machpelah, H4375 which H834 Abraham H85 bought H7069 with H854 the field H7704 for a possession H272 of a burial place H6913 of H4480 H854 Ephron H6085 the Hittite, H2850 before H5921 H6440 Mamre. H4471
14 And Joseph H3130 returned H7725 into Egypt, H4714 he, H1931 and his brethren, H251 and all H3605 that went up H5927 with H854 him to bury H6912 H853 his father, H1 after H310 he had buried H6912 H853 his father. H1
15 And when Joseph's H3130 brethren H251 saw H7200 that H3588 their father H1 was dead, H4191 they said, H559 Joseph H3130 will peradventure H3863 hate H7852 us , and will certainly requite H7725 H7725 us H853 all H3605 the evil H7451 which H834 we did H1580 unto him.
16 And they sent a messenger H6680 unto H413 Joseph, H3130 saying, H559 Thy father H1 did command H6680 before H6440 he died, H4194 saying, H559
17 So H3541 shall ye say H559 unto Joseph, H3130 Forgive, H5375 I pray thee H577 now, H4994 the trespass H6588 of thy brethren, H251 and their sin; H2403 for H3588 they did H1580 unto thee evil: H7451 and now, H6258 we pray thee, H4994 forgive H5375 the trespass H6588 of the servants H5650 of the God H430 of thy father. H1 And Joseph H3130 wept H1058 when they spoke H1696 unto H413 him.
18 And his brethren H251 also H1571 went H1980 and fell down H5307 before his face; H6440 and they said, H559 Behold, H2009 we be thy servants. H5650
19 And Joseph H3130 said H559 unto H413 them, Fear H3372 not: H408 for H3588 am I H589 in the place H8478 of God H430 ?
20 But as for you, H859 ye thought H2803 evil H7451 against H5921 me; but God H430 meant H2803 it unto good, H2896 to H4616 bring to pass, H6213 as it is this H2088 day, H3117 to save much people alive H2421 H5971. H7227
21 Now H6258 therefore fear H3372 ye not: H408 I H595 will nourish H3557 you , and your little ones. H2945 And he comforted H5162 them , and spoke H1696 kindly H5921 H3820 unto them.
22 And Joseph H3130 dwelt H3427 in Egypt, H4714 he, H1931 and his father's H1 house: H1004 and Joseph H3130 lived H2421 a hundred H3967 and ten H6235 years. H8141
23 And Joseph H3130 saw H7200 Ephraim's H669 children H1121 of the third H8029 generation : the children H1121 also H1571 of Machir H4353 the son H1121 of Manasseh H4519 were brought up H3205 upon H5921 Joseph's H3130 knees. H1290
24 And Joseph H3130 said H559 unto H413 his brethren, H251 I H595 die: H4191 and God H430 will surely visit H6485 H6485 you , and bring H5927 you out of H4480 this H2063 land H776 unto H413 the land H776 which H834 he swore H7650 to Abraham, H85 to Isaac, H3327 and to Jacob. H3290
25 And Joseph H3130 took an oath H7650 of H853 the children H1121 of Israel, H3478 saying, H559 God H430 will surely visit H6485 H6485 you , and ye shall carry up H5927 H853 my bones H6106 from hence H4480 H2088 .
26 So Joseph H3130 died, H4191 being a hundred H3967 and ten H6235 years H8141 old: H1121 and they embalmed H2590 him , and he was put H3455 in a coffin H727 in Egypt. H4714
