*
And Israel dwelt in the land of Egypt ,
in the country of Goshen ;
and they had possessions therein ,
and grew ,
and multiplied exceedingly .
*
And Jacob lived in the land of Egypt seventeen years :
so the whole age of Jacob was an hundred forty and seven years .
*
And the time drew nigh that Israel must die :
and he called his son Joseph ,
and said unto him ,
If now I have found grace in thy sight ,
put ,
I pray thee ,
thy hand under my thigh ,
and deal kindly and truly with me ;
bury me not ,
I pray thee ,
in Egypt :
*
But I will lie with my fathers ,
and thou shalt carry me out of Egypt ,
and bury me in their buryingplace .
And he said ,
I will do as thou hast said .
*
And he said ,
Swear unto me .
And he sware unto him .
And Israel bowed himself upon the bed '
s head .
