1 And Ioseph fell vpon his fathers face, and wept vpon him, and kyssed hym. 2 And Ioseph comaunded his seruauntes the phisitians to imbawme his father. And the phisitians enbawmed Israel. 3 And fourtie dayes were continued (for so long doth the imbawmyng last) and the Egyptians mourned for him thre score and ten dayes. 4 And when the dayes of mournyng were ended, Ioseph spake vnto ye house of Pharao, saying: If I haue founde fauour in your eyes, speake I pray you in the eares of Pharao, saying: 5 My father made me sweare, & sayde, Lo I dye, bury me in the graue which I haue made me in the lande of Chanaan. Nowe therfore let me go vp I pray thee, and bury my father, and then wyl I come agayne. 6 And Pharao sayde: Go vp, and bury thy father, accordyng as he made thee sweare.
