28 Jacob lived in Egypt for seventeen years, until he was 147 years old.
29 When the time drew near for him to die, he called for his son Joseph and said to him, “Place your hand between my thighs and make a solemn vow that you will not bury me in Egypt.
30 I want to be buried where my fathers are; carry me out of Egypt and bury me where they are buried.”Joseph answered, “I will do as you say.”
31 Jacob said, “Make a vow that you will.” Joseph made the vow, and Jacob gave thanks there on his bed.
