Genesis

And falling upon [the] face of his father, Ioseph wept over him, and kissed him.

And Ioseph ordered his servants, the buriers, prepare his father for burial. And the undertakers prepared Israél for burial.

And they completed [preparing] him [in] forty days, for so the days of burial are reckoned. And Aigyptos mourned for him [for] seventy days.

And after the days of mourning went by, Ioseph spoke to the mighty ones of Pharao, saying: "If I found favor before you, speak into the ears of Pharao, saying:

My father made me swear an oath before his coming to an end, saying: 'In the tomb that I dug myself in [the] land of Chanaán, there entomb me.' Now then, ascending, I will entomb my father, and I will return.'

And Pharao said to Ioseph: 'Ascend [and] entomb your father, as he made you swear by an oath.'

And Ioseph ascended to entomb his father. And all the servants of Pharao went up with him, and the elders of his house, and all the elders of the land of Aigyptos,

and all the households of Ioseph and his brothers, and all the house of his father and the kin [-dred]. And the sheep and the oxen were left behind in [the] land of Gesem.

And also chariots and horsemen went up with him. And the camp became exceedingly great.

And they came upon the threshing-floor of Atad, which is across the Iordanés. And they lamented him by an exceedingly great and strong lamentation. And he made the mourning for his father [for] seven days.

And the inhabitants of the land of Chanaán saw the mourning at [the] threshing-floor of Atad. And they said: "This is a great mourning to the Aigyptiois." On account of this they called the name of that place: Mourning-of-Aigyptos, which is across the Iordanés.

And his sons did to him as he gave charge to them.

So his sons took him up into [the] land of Chanaán. And they entombed him in the double cave opposite Mambre, the cave which Abraám acquired for a possession of a tomb from Ephron the Chettaion.

And Ioseph returned to Aigyptos, he and his brothers, and those going up with [him] to entomb his father.

And the brothers of Ioseph knowing that their father died, said: "Lest at any time Ioseph should resent us, and with a recompense, recompense to us all the evils which we demonstrated against him."

And having come towards Ioseph, they said: "Your father bound [us] by an oath before he came to an end, saying:

So say to Ioseph: 'Forgive them their the injustice and their sin, for [the] wicked [deed that] they demonstrated against you. And now accept the injustice of the attendants of the Theos of your father.' " And Ioseph wept [during] their speaking towards him.

And coming towards him, they said: "See: We are your domestics."

And Ioseph said to them: "Fear not, for I am of the Theos.

You took counsel concerning me into evil, but the Theos took counsel concerning me into good, that it should be as [it is] today, and that he might maintain many people."

And he said to them: "Fear not. I will maintain you, and your houses." And he comforted them and spoke of them into the heart.

And Ioseph dwelt in Aigyptos, he and his brothers, and with all the households of his father. And Ioseph lived hundred ten years.

And Ioseph saw [the] children of Ephraïm unto [the] third generation. And the sons of Macheír, the son of Manasse, were born upon the thighs of Ioseph.

And Ioseph said to his brothers, saying: "[After] I die, and visiting the Theos will visit you, and lead you from out of this land into the land that the Theos swore by an oath [to] your fathers Abraám, Isaák, and Iakob."

And Ioseph made the sons of Israél swear by an oath, saying: "In the visitation in which the Theos will visit you, you shall join in carrying off my bones from here with you."
