AND Joseph fell upon his father's face, and wept upon him, and kissed him.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1001560">2</a>. And Joseph commanded his servants the physicians to embalm his father: and the physicians embalmed Israel.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1001561">3</a>. 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.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1001562">4</a>. 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,</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1001563">5</a>. 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.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1001564">6</a>. And Pharaoh said, Go up, and bury thy father, according as he made thee swear.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1001565">7</a>. 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,</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1001566">8</a>. 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.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1001567">9</a>. And there went up with him both chariots and horsemen: and it was a very great company.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1001568">10</a>. 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.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1001569">11</a>. 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 Abel-mizraim, which is beyond Jordan.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1001570">12</a>. And his sons did unto him according as he commanded them:</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1001571">13</a>. 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.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1001572">14</a>. And Joseph returned into Egypt, he, and his brethren, and all that went up with him to bury his father, after he had buried his father.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1001573">15</a>. And when Joseph's brethren saw that their father was dead, they said, Joseph will peradventure hate us, and will certainly requite us all the evil which we did unto him.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1001574">16</a>. And they sent a messenger unto Joseph, saying, Thy father did command before he died, saying,</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1001575">17</a>. So shall ye say unto Joseph, Forgive, I pray thee now, the trespass of thy brethren, and their sin; for they did unto thee evil: and now, we pray thee, forgive the trespass of the servants of the God of thy father.  And Joseph wept when they spake unto him.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1001576">18</a>. And his brethren also went and fell down before his face; and they said, Behold, we be thy servants.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1001577">19</a>. And Joseph said unto them, Fear not: for am I in the place of God?</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1001578">20</a>. But as for you, ye thought evil against me; but God meant it unto good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save much people alive.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1001579">21</a>. Now therefore fear ye not: I will nourish you, and your little ones.  And he comforted them, and spake kindly unto them.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1001580">22</a>. And Joseph dwelt in Egypt, he, and his father's house: and Joseph lived an hundred and ten years.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1001581">23</a>. And Joseph saw Ephraim's children of the third generation: the children also of Machir the son of Manasseh were brought up upon Joseph's knees.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1001582">24</a>. 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 to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1001583">25</a>. And Joseph took an oath of the children of Israel, saying, God will surely visit you, and ye shall carry up my bones from hence.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1001584">26</a>. So Joseph died, being an hundred and ten years old: and they embalmed him, and he was put in a coffin in Egypt.</li>
