12 And his sons did for him so, as he had commanded them. 13 And his sons carried him to the land of Canaan and buried him in the cave of the field of Machpelah, the field that Abraham bought for a possession of a burial place from Ephron the Hittite, before the face of Mamre. 14 And Joseph returned to Egypt, he and his brothers, and all who went up with him to bury his father, after he had buried his father. 15 And the brothers of Joseph saw that their father was dead, and they said, “Perhaps Joseph will hate us, and he will surely return to us all the evil that we did to him.” 16 And they commanded to Joseph, saying, “Your father commanded before his death, saying, 17 ‘Thus you? shall say to Joseph: I beg you, please forgive the trespass of your brothers and their sin, for they did to you evil.’ And now, please forgive the trespass of the servants of the God of your father.” And Joseph wept when they spoke to him. 18 And his brothers also went and fell down before his face, and they said, “Behold, we are your servants.” 19 And Joseph said to them, “Fear not, for am I in the place of God? 20 And you?—you? intended evil against me, God intended it for good, in order to bring about a day like this, to keep alive many people. 21 And now, fear not; I will provide for you? and your? little ones.” And he comforted them, and he spoke to their heart. 22 And Joseph dwelt in Egypt, he and the house of his father. And Joseph lived a hundred and ten years. 23 And Joseph saw the third generation of Ephraim’s sons. Also, the sons of Machir, son of Manasseh, were born on the knees of Joseph. 24 And Joseph said to his brothers, “I am dying. And God will surely attend to you? and bring you? out of this land, to the land of which He swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.” 25 And Joseph made the sons of Israel swear, saying, “God will surely attend to you?, and you? shall carry up my bones from this place.” 26 And Joseph died, a son of a hundred and ten years. And they embalmed him, and he was put in a coffin in Egypt. Genesis 50:12-26, Berean Literal Bible. Public domain.
