1 And Yosĕph fell on his father’s face, and wept over him, and kissed him.
2 And Yosĕph commanded his servants the physicians to embalm his father. So the physicians embalmed Yisra’ĕl.
3 And forty days were completed for him, for so are completed the days of embalming. And the Mitsrites wept for him seventy days.
4 And when the days of weeping for him were past, Yosĕph spoke to the household of Pharaoh, saying, “If, now, I have found favour in your eyes, please speak in the hearing of Pharaoh, saying,
5 ‘My father made me swear, saying, “See, I am dying, bury me in my grave which I dug for myself in the land of Kena‛an.” And now, please let me go up and bury my father, and return.’ ”
6 And Pharaoh said, “Go up and bury your father, as he made you swear.”
