1 Josephthrew himself on his father, crying and kissing his face. 2 Then Josephgave orders to embalm his father’s body. 3 It took forty days, the normal time for embalming. The Egyptians mourned for him seventy days.
4 When the time of mourning was over, Josephsaid to the king’s officials, "Please take this message to the king: 5 Gn 47.29-31‘When my father was about to die, he made me promise him that I would bury him in the tomb which he had prepared in the land of Canaan. So please let me go and bury my father, and then I will come back.’"
6 The king answered, "Go and bury your father, as you promised you would."
7 So Josephwent to bury his father. All the king’s officials, the senior men of his court, and all the leading men of Egyptwent with Joseph. 8 His family, his brothers, and the rest of his father’s family all went with him. Only their small children and their sheep, goats, and cattle stayed in the region of Goshen. 9 Men in chariots and men on horseback also went with him; it was a huge group.
10 When they came to the threshing place at Atadeast of the Jordan, they mourned loudly for a long time, and Joseph performed mourning ceremonies for seven days. 11 When the citizens of Canaan saw those people mourning at Atad, they said, "What a solemn ceremony of mourning the Egyptians are holding!" That is why the place was named Abel Mizraim.50.11: Abel Mizraim: This name sounds like the Hebrew for "mourning of the Egyptians."
12 So Jacob’s sons did as he had commanded them; 13 Ac 7.16they carried his body to Canaanand buried it in the cave at Machpelaheast of Mamrein the field which Abrahamhad bought from Ephronthe Hittite for a burial ground. 14 After Josephhad buried his father, he returned to Egyptwith his brothers and all who had gone with him for the funeral.
Joseph Reassures His Brothers
15 After the death of their father, Joseph’s brothers said, "What if Josephstill hates us and plans to pay us back for all the harm we did to him?" 16 So they sent a message to Joseph: "Before our father died, 17 he told us to ask you, ‘Please forgive the crime your brothers committed when they wronged you.’ Now please forgive us the wrong that we, the servants of your father’s God, have done." Josephcried when he received this message.
18 Then his brothers themselves came and bowed down before him. "Here we are before you as your slaves," they said.
19 But Josephsaid to them, "Don’t be afraid; I can’t put myself in the place of God. 20 You plotted evil against me, but God turned it into good, in order to preserve the lives of many people who are alive today because of what happened. 21 You have nothing to fear. I will take care of you and your children." So he reassured them with kind words that touched their hearts.
The Death of Joseph
22 Josephcontinued to live in Egyptwith his father’s family; he was a hundred and ten years old when he died. 23 He lived to see Ephraim’s children and grandchildren. He also lived to receive the children of Machirson of Manassehinto the family. 24 He said to his brothers, "I am about to die, but God will certainly take care of you and lead you out of this land to the land he solemnly promised to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob." 25 Ex 13.19;Js 24.32;He 11.22Then Josephasked his people to make a vow. "Promise me," he said, "that when God leads you to that land, you will take my body with you." 26 So Josephdied in Egyptat the age of a hundred and ten. They embalmed his body and put it in a coffin.
