* "
My father made me swear ,
saying , "
Behold ,
I am dying ;
in my grave which I dug for myself in the land of Canaan ,
there you shall bury me ."
Now therefore ,
please let me go up and bury my father ,
and I will come back ."'
*
And Pharaoh said , "
Go up and bury your father ,
as he made you swear ."
*
So Joseph went up to bury his father ;
and with him went up all the servants of Pharaoh ,
the elders of his house ,
and all the elders of the land of Egypt ,
*
as well as all the house of Joseph ,
his brothers ,
and his father '
s house .
Only their little ones ,
their flocks ,
and their herds they left in the land of Goshen .
*
And there went up with him both chariots and horsemen ,
and it was a very great gathering .
*
Then they came to the threshing floor of Atad ,
which is beyond the Jordan ,
and they mourned there with a great and very solemn lamentation .
He observed seven days of mourning for his father .
*
And when the inhabitants of the land ,
the Canaanites ,
saw the mourning at the threshing floor of Atad ,
they said , "
This is a deep mourning of the Egyptians ."
Therefore its name was called Abel Mizraim ,
which is beyond the Jordan .
*
So his sons did for him just as he had commanded them .
*
For his sons carried him to the land of Canaan ,
and buried him in the cave of the field of Machpelah ,
before Mamre ,
which Abraham bought with the field from Ephron the Hittite as property for a burial place .
*
And after he had buried his father ,
Joseph returned to Egypt ,
he and his brothers and all who went up with him to bury his father .
