Bible. Books of the Holy Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments

29 And he commanded them, and said to them, 'I am added to my people; bury me with my fathers in the cave which is in the field of Ephron the Hittite;

30 In the cave which 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 burial property;

31 Abraham and Sarah his wife were buried there; there they buried Isaac and Rebekah his wife; and there I buried Leah;

32 This field, and the cave that is in it, was bought from the children of the Hittites.

33 And Jacob finished his testament to his sons, and laid his feet on the bed, and died, and was gathered to his people.

Chapter 50

1 Joseph fell on his father's face, and wept over him, and kissed him.

2 And Joseph commanded his servants, the physicians, to embalm his father; and the physicians embalmed Israel.

3 And he was forty days old, for so many days are used for embalming, and the Egyptians wept for him seventy days.

4 And when the days of mourning for him were past, Joseph said to Pharaoh's courtiers, saying, If I have found favor in your eyes, then say to Pharaoh thus:

5 My father cursed me, saying, Behold, I am dying; in my tomb, which I have dug for myself in the land of Canaan, there bury me. And now I would like to go and bury my father and return. [Joseph's words were recounted to Pharaoh.]

6 And Pharaoh said, 'Go and bury your father, as he has cursed you.'

7 And Joseph went to bury his father. And all Pharaoh's servants, and the elders of his house, and all the elders of the land of Egypt, went with him;

8 and all the house of Joseph, and his brethren, and his father's house. Only their children and their flocks and herds left in the land of Goshen.
