4 When the time of mourning for Jacob was over, Joseph spoke to Pharaoh's palace staff. He said, |Please speak directly to Pharaoh. Tell him,

5 'My father made me swear an oath. He said, |I'm about to die. Bury me in the tomb I bought for myself in Canaan.| Please let me go there and bury my father; then I'll come back.'|

6 Pharaoh replied, |Go and bury your father, as you have promised him.|
