And 3130 commanded6680 his servants5650 the physicians7495 to embalm2590 his father1: and the physicians7495 embalmed2590 3478. And forty705 days3117 were fulfilled4390 for him; for so are fulfilled4390 the days3117 of those which are embalmed2590: and the 4714 mourned1058 for him threescore and ten7657 days3117. mourned: Heb. wept And when the days3117 of his mourning1068 were past5674, 3130 spake1696 unto the house1004 of 6547, saying559, If now I have found4672 2580 in your eyes5869, speak1696, I pray you, in the ears241 of 6547, saying559, My father1 made me swear7650, saying559, Lo2009, I die4191: in my grave6913 which I have digged3738 for me in the land776 of 3667, there shalt thou bury me6912. Now therefore let me go up5927, I pray thee, and bury6912 my father1, and I will come again7725. And 6547 said559, Go up5927, and bury6912 thy father1, according as he made thee swear7650.

And when the inhabitants3427 of the land776, the 3669, saw7200 the mourning60 in the floor1637 of Atad329, they said559, This is a grievous3515 mourning60 to the 4714: wherefore the name of it8034 was called7121 Abelmizraim67, which is beyond5676 3383. Abelmizraim: that is, The mourning of the And his sons1121 did6213 unto him according as he commanded6680 them: For his sons1121 carried5375 him into the land776 of 3667, and buried6912 him in the cave4631 of the field7704 of Machpelah4375, which 85 bought7069 with the field7704 for a possession272 of a buryingplace6913 of Ephron6085 the Hittite2850, before6440 Mamre4471. And 3130 returned7725 into 4714, he, and his brethren251, and all that went up5927 with him to bury6912 his father1, after310 he had buried6912 his father1. And when 's3130 brethren251 saw7200 that their father1 was dead4191, they said559, 3130 will peradventure3863 hate us7852, and will certainly7725 requite7725 us all the evil7451 which we did1580 unto him. And they sent a messenger6680 unto 3130, saying559, Thy father1 did command6680 before6440 he died4194, saying559, sent: Heb. charged So shall ye say559 unto 3130, Forgive5375, I pray thee577 now, the trespass6588 of thy brethren251, and their sin2403; for they did1580 unto thee evil7451: and now, we pray thee, forgive5375 the trespass6588 of the servants5650 of the God430 of thy father1. And 3130 wept1058 when they spake1696 unto him. And his brethren251 also went3212 and fell down5307 before his face6440; and they said559, Behold, we be thy servants5650. And 3130 said559 unto them, Fear3372 not: for am I in the place of God430? But as for you, ye thought2803 evil7451 against me; but God430 meant it2803 unto good2896, to4616 bring to pass6213, as it is this day3117, to save2421 much7227 people5971 alive2421. Now therefore fear3372 ye not: I will nourish3557 you, and your little ones2945. And he comforted5162 them, and spake1696 kindly3820 unto them. kindly: Heb. to their hearts And 3130 dwelt3427 in 4714, he, and his father's1 house1004: and 3130 lived2421 an hundred3967 and ten6235 years8141. And 3130 saw7200 's669 children1121 of the third8029 generation: the children1121 also of Machir4353 the son1121 of 4519 were brought up3205 upon 's3130 knees1290. brought: Heb. born And 3130 said559 unto his brethren251, I die4191: and God430 will surely6485 visit6485 you, and bring you out5927 of this land776 unto the land776 which he sware7650 to 85, to 3327, and to 3290. And 3130 took an oath7650 of the children1121 of 3478, saying559, God430 will surely6485 visit6485 you, and ye shall carry up5927 my bones6106 from hence2088.
