9 And chariots and horsemen went with him, so that the assembly was very great.

10 And they came to Goren-ga'atad by the Jordan, and wept there with great and exceedingly great weeping; And Joseph wept for his father seven days.

11 And the inhabitants of the land of Canaanite saw the mourning in Goren-gaatad, and said, 'Great is this mourning among the Egyptians!' Therefore the name was given to that place: the lamentation of the Egyptians that are by the Jordan.

12 And the sons of Jacob did to him as he had commanded them;

13 And his sons carried him into the land of Canaan, and buried him in a cave in the field of Machpelah, which Abraham had bought with the field for burial property from Ephron the Hittite, before Mamre.

14 And Joseph returned to Egypt, himself, and his brethren, and all those who went with him to bury his father, after he had buried his father.

15 And when Joseph's brothers saw that their father was dead, they said, 'What if Joseph hates us, and wants to avenge us for all the evil that we have done him?'

16 And they sent word to Joseph, 'Thy father commanded before his death, saying,

17 Thus say unto Joseph, Forgive thy brethren their guilt and their sin, for they have done thee evil. And now forgive the sins of the servants of your father's God. Joseph wept when he was told this.

18 And his brethren themselves came, and fell down before him, and said, Behold, we are thy servants.

19 And Joseph said, 'Do not be afraid, for I fear God;

20 Behold, ye have devised evil against me; but God turned it into good, in order to do what it is now: to preserve the life of a great number of people;

21 Therefore fear not: I will nourish you and your children. And he calmed them, and spoke after their hearts.

22 And Joseph dwelt in Egypt himself, and his father's house; and Joseph lived only a hundred and ten years.
