01:049:028 All these are the twelve tribes of Israel: and this is it
that their father spake unto them, and blessed them; every one according
to his blessing he blessed them.
01:049:029 And he charged them, and said unto them, I am to be gathered
unto my people: bury me with my fathers in the cave that is in the field
of Ephron the Hittite,
01:049:030 In the cave that is in the field of Machpelah, which is
before Mamre, in the land of Canaan, which Abraham bought with the field
of Ephron the Hittite for a possession of a buryingplace.
01:049:031 There they buried Abraham and Sarah his wife; there they
buried Isaac and Rebekah his wife; and there I buried Leah.
01:049:032 The purchase of the field and of the cave that is therein was
from the children of Heth.
01:049:033 And when Jacob had made an end of commanding his sons, he
gathered up his feet into the bed, and yielded up the ghost, and was
gathered unto his people.
01:050:001 And Joseph fell upon his father's face, and wept upon him,
and kissed him.
01:050:002 And Joseph commanded his servants the physicians to embalm
his father: and the physicians embalmed Israel.
01:050:003 And forty days were fulfilled for him; for so are fulfilled
the days of those which are embalmed: and the Egyptians mourned for him
threescore and ten days.
01:050:004 And when the days of his mourning were past, Joseph spake
unto the house of Pharaoh, saying, If now I have found grace in your
eyes, speak, I pray you, in the ears of Pharaoh, saying,
01:050:005 My father made me swear, saying, Lo, I die: in my grave which
I have digged for me in the land of Canaan, there shalt thou bury me.
Now therefore let me go up, I pray thee, and bury my father, and I will
come again.
01:050:006 And Pharaoh said, Go up, and bury thy father, according as he
made thee swear.
01:050:007 And Joseph went up to bury his father: and with him went up
all the servants of Pharaoh, the elders of his house, and all the elders
of the land of Egypt,
01:050:008 And all the house of Joseph, and his brethren, and his
father's house: only their little ones, and their flocks, and their
herds, they left in the land of Goshen.
01:050:009 And there went up with him both chariots and horsemen: and it
was a very great company.
01:050:010 And they came to the threshingfloor of Atad, which is beyond
Jordan, and there they mourned with a great and very sore lamentation:
and he made a mourning for his father seven days.
01:050:011 And when the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites, saw the
mourning in the floor of Atad, they said, This is a grievous mourning to
the Egyptians: wherefore the name of it was called Abelmizraim, which is
beyond Jordan.
01:050:012 And his sons did unto him according as he commanded them:
01:050:013 For his sons carried him into the land of Canaan, and buried
him in the cave of the field of Machpelah, which Abraham bought with the
field for a possession of a buryingplace of Ephron the Hittite, before
Mamre.
