Genesis Chapter 50
The mourning for Jacob, and his interment. Joseph's kindness towards his brethren. His death.
50:1. And when Joseph saw this, he fell upon his father's face, weeping and kissing him.
50:2. And he commanded his servants, the physicians, to embalm his father.
50:3. And while they were fulfilling his commands, there passed forty days: for this was the manner with bodies that were embalmed, and Egypt mourned for him seventy days.
50:4. And the time of the mourning being expired, Joseph spoke to the family of Pharao: If I have found favour in your sight, speak in the ears of Pharao:
50:5. For my father made me swear to him, saying: Behold I die; thou shalt bury me in my sepulchre which I have digged for myself in the land of Chanaan. So I will go up and bury my father, and return.
50:6. And Pharao said to him: Go up and bury thy father according as he made thee swear.
50:7. So he went up, and there went with him all the ancients of Pharao's house, and all the elders of the land of Egypt.
