29 Now when the time drewe neere that Israel must dye, he called his sonne Ioseph, and sayde vnto him, If I haue nowe founde grace in thy sight, put thine hand nowe vnder my thigh, and deale mercifully & truely with me: burie me not, I pray thee, in Egypt.

30 But when I shall sleepe with my fathers, thou shalt carry me out of Egypt, and bury mee in their buryall; he answered, I will doe as thou hast sayde.

31 The he said, Sweare vnto me; he sware vnto him; Israel worshipped towardes the beds head.
