ASV_Strong : Genesis 50
1. And Joseph[H3130] fell[H5307] upon his father[H1]'s face[H6440], and wept[H1058] upon him[H5401], and kissed him.
2. And Joseph[H3130] commanded[H6680] his servants[H5650] the physicians[H7495] to embalm[H2590] his father[H1]: and the physicians[H7495] embalmed[H2590] Israel[H3478].
3. And forty[H705] days[H3117] were fulfilled[H4390] for him[H4390]; for so are fulfilled the days[H3117] of embalming[H2590]: and the Egyptians[H4714] wept[H1058] for him three-score[H7657] and ten days[H3117].
4. And when the days[H3117] of weeping[H1068] for him were past[H5674], Joseph[H3130] spake[H1696] unto the house[H1004] of Pharaoh[H6547], saying[H559], If now I have found[H4672] favor[H2580] in your eyes[H5869], speak[H1696], I pray you[H241], in the ears of Pharaoh[H6547], saying[H559],
5. My father[H1] made me swear[H7650], saying[H559], Lo[H2009], I die[H4191]: in my grave[H6913] which I have digged[H3738] for me in the land[H776] of Canaan[H3667], there shalt thou bury me[H6912]. Now therefore let me go up[H5927], I pray thee[H6912], and bury my father[H1], and I will come again[H7725].
6. And Pharaoh[H6547] said[H559], Go up[H5927], and bury[H6912] thy father[H1], according as he made thee swear[H7650].
7. And Joseph[H3130] went up[H5927] to bury[H6912] his father[H1]; and with him went up[H5927] all the servants[H5650] of Pharaoh[H6547], the elders[H2205] of his house[H1004], and all the elders[H2205] of the land[H776] of Egypt[H4714],
8. and all the house[H1004] of Joseph[H3130], and his brethren[H251], and his father[H1]'s house[H1004]: only 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 him both chariots[H7393] and horsemen[H6571]: and it was a very[H3966] great[H3515] company[H4264].
10. And they came[H935] to the threshing-floor[H1637] of Atad[H329], which is beyond[H5676] the Jordan[H3383], and there they lamented[H5594] with a very[H3966] great[H1419] and 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] the mourning[H60] in the floor[H1637] of Atad[H329], they said[H559], This is a grievous[H3515] mourning[H60] to the Egyptians[H4714]: wherefore the name of it[H8034] was called[H7121] Abel-mizraim[H67], which is beyond[H5676] the Jordan[H3383].
12. And his sons[H1121] did[H6213] unto him according as he commanded them[H6680]:
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 Abraham[H85] bought[H7069] with the field[H7704], for a possession[H272] of a burying-place[H6913], of Ephron[H6085] the Hittite[H2850], before[H6440] Mamre[H4471].
14. And Joseph[H3130] returned[H7725] into Egypt[H4714], he[H251], and his brethren, and all that went up[H5927] with him to bury[H6912] his father[H1], after[H310] he had buried[H6912] his father[H1].
15. And when Joseph[H3130]'s brethren[H251] saw[H7200] that their father[H1] was dead[H4191], they said[H559], It may be[H3863] that Joseph[H3130] will hate us[H7852], and will fully[H7725] requite[H7725] us all the evil[H7451] which we did unto him[H1580].
16. And they sent a message[H6680] unto Joseph[H3130], saying[H559], Thy father[H1] did command[H6680] before[H6440] he died[H4194], saying[H559],
17. So shall ye say[H559] unto Joseph[H3130], Forgive[H5375], I pray thee[H577] now[H6588], the transgression of thy brethren[H251], and their sin[H2403], for that they did[H1580] unto thee evil[H7451]. And now[H5375], we pray thee, forgive the transgression[H6588] of the servants[H5650] of the God[H430] of thy father[H1]. And Joseph[H3130] wept[H1058] when they spake unto him[H1696].
18. And his brethren[H251] also went[H3212] and fell down[H5307] before his face[H6440]; and they said[H559], Behold[H5650], we are thy servants.
19. And Joseph[H3130] said[H559] unto them[H3372], Fear not[H430]: for am I in the place of God?
20. And as for you[H2803], ye meant evil[H7451] against me[H430]; but God meant it[H2803] for good[H2896], to[H4616] bring to pass[H6213], as it is this day[H3117], to save[H2421] much[H7227] people[H5971] alive[H2421].
21. Now therefore fear[H3372] ye not[H3557]: I will nourish you[H2945], and your little ones. And he comforted[H5162] them[H1696], and spake kindly unto them[H3820].
22. And Joseph[H3130] dwelt[H3427] in Egypt[H4714], he[H1], and his father's house[H1004]: and Joseph[H3130] lived[H2421] a hundred[H3967] and ten[H6235] years[H8141].
23. And Joseph[H3130] saw[H7200] Ephraim[H669]'s children[H1121] of the third[H8029] generation[H1121]: the children also of Machir[H4353] the son[H1121] of Manasseh[H4519] were born upon[H3205] Joseph[H3130]'s knees[H1290].
24. And Joseph[H3130] said[H559] unto his brethren[H251], I die[H4191]; but God[H430] will surely[H6485] visit[H6485] you[H5927], and bring you up out of this land[H776] unto the land[H776] which he sware[H7650] to Abraham[H85], to Isaac[H3327], and to Jacob[H3290].
25. And Joseph[H3130] took an oath[H7650] of the children[H1121] of Israel[H3478], saying[H559], God[H430] will surely[H6485] visit[H6485] you[H5927], and ye shall carry up my bones[H6106] from hence[H2088].
26. So Joseph[H3130] died[H4191], being a hundred[H3967] and ten[H6235] years[H8141] old[H1121]: and they embalmed[H2590] him[H3455], and he was put in a coffin[H727] in Egypt[H4714].
