Now6258 therefore let me go up,5927 I pray thee,4994 and bury6912 853 my father,1 and I will come again.7725 6 And Pharaoh6547 said,559 Go up,5927 and bury6912 853 thy father,1 according as834 he made thee swear.7650 7 And Joseph3130 went up5927 to bury6912 853 his father:1 and with854 him went up5927 all3605 the servants5650 of Pharaoh,6547 the elders2205 of his house,1004 and all3605 the elders2205 of the land776 of Egypt,4714 8 And all3605 the house1004 of Joseph,3130 and his brethren,251 and his father's1 house:1004 only7535 their little ones,2945 and their flocks,6629 and their herds,1241 they left5800 in the land776 of Goshen.1657 9 And there went up5927 with5973 him both1571 chariots7393 and1571 horsemen:6571 and it was1961 a very3966 great3515 company.4264 10 And they came935 to5704 the threshingfloor1637 of Atad,329 which834 is beyond5676 Jordan,3383 and there8033 they mourned5594 with a great1419 and very3966 sore3515 lamentation:4553 and he made6213 a mourning60 for his father1 seven7651 days.3117 11 And when the inhabitants3427 of the land,776 the Canaanites,3669 saw7200 853 the mourning60 in the floor1637 of Atad,329 they said,559 This2088 is a grievous3515 mourning60 to the Egyptians:4714 wherefore5921 3651 the name8034 of it was called7121 Abel-mizraim,67 which834 is beyond5676 Jordan.3383 12 And his sons1121 did6213 unto him according as3651 834 he commanded6680 them: 13 For his sons1121 carried5375 him into the land776 of Canaan,3667 and buried6912 him in the cave4631 of the field7704 of Machpelah,4375 which834 Abraham85 bought7069 with854 the field7704 for a possession272 of a burial place6913 of4480 854 Ephron6085 the Hittite,2850 before5921 6440 Mamre.4471 14 And Joseph3130 returned7725 into Egypt,4714 he,1931 and his brethren,251 and all3605 that went up5927 with854 him to bury6912 853 his father,1 after310 he had buried6912 853 his father.1 15 And when Joseph's3130 brethren251 saw7200 that3588 their father1 was dead,4191 they said,559 Joseph3130 will peradventure3863 hate7852 us, and will certainly requite7725 7725 us 853 all3605 the evil7451 which834 we did1580 unto him. 16 And they sent a messenger6680 unto413 Joseph,3130 saying,559 Thy father1 did command6680 before6440 he died,4194 saying,559 17 So3541 shall ye say559 unto Joseph,3130 Forgive,5375 I pray thee577 now,4994 the trespass6588 of thy brethren,251 and their sin;2403 for3588 they did1580 unto thee evil:7451 and now,6258 we pray thee,4994 forgive5375 the trespass6588 of the servants5650 of the God430 of thy father.1 And Joseph3130 wept1058 when they spoke1696 unto413 him. 18 And his brethren251 also1571 went1980 and fell down5307 before his face;6440 and they said,559 Behold,2009 we be thy servants.5650 19 And Joseph3130 said559 unto413 them, Fear3372 not:408 for3588 am I589 in the place8478 of God?430 20 But as for you,859 ye thought2803 evil7451 against5921 me; but God430 meant2803 it unto good,2896 to4616 bring to pass,6213 as it is this2088 day,3117 to save much people alive.2421 5971 7227 21 Now6258 therefore fear3372 ye not:408 I595 will nourish3557 you, and your little ones.2945 And he comforted5162 them, and spoke1696 kindly5921 3820 unto them. 22 And Joseph3130 dwelt3427 in Egypt,4714 he,1931 and his father's1 house:1004 and Joseph3130 lived2421 a hundred3967 and ten6235 years.8141 23 And Joseph3130 saw7200 Ephraim's669 children1121 of the third8029 generation: the children1121 also1571 of Machir4353 the son1121 of Manasseh4519 were brought up3205 upon5921 Joseph's3130 knees.1290 24 And Joseph3130 said559 unto413 his brethren,251 I595 die:4191 and God430 will surely visit6485 6485 you, and bring5927 you out of4480 this2063 land776 unto413 the land776 which834 he swore7650 to Abraham,85 to Isaac,3327 and to Jacob.3290 25 And Joseph3130 took an oath7650 of 853 the children1121 of Israel,3478 saying,559 God430 will surely visit6485 6485 you, and ye shall carry up5927 853 my bones6106 from hence.4480 2088 26 So Joseph3130 died,4191 being a hundred3967 and ten6235 years8141 old:1121 and they embalmed2590 him, and he was put3455 in a coffin727 in Egypt.4714 |

1 Quod cernens Joseph, ruit super faciem patris, flens et deosculans eum. 2 Præcepitque servis suis medicis ut aromatibus condirent patrem. 3 Quibus jussa explentibus, transierunt quadraginta dies: iste quippe mos erat cadaverum conditorum: flevitque eum Ægyptus septuaginta diebus. 4 Et expleto planctus tempore, locutus est Joseph ad familiam Pharaonis: Si inveni gratiam in conspectu vestro, loquimini in auribus Pharaonis: 5 eo quod pater meus adjuraverit me dicens: En morior: in sepulchro meo, quod fodi mihi in terra Chanaan, sepelies me. Ascendam igitur, et sepeliam patrem meum, ac revertar. 6 Dixitque ei Pharao: Ascende, et sepeli patrem tuum sicut adjuratus es. 7 Quo ascendente, ierunt cum eo omnes senes domus Pharaonis, cunctique majores natu terræ Ægypti: 8 domus Joseph cum fratribus suis, absque parvulis, et gregibus atque armentis, quæ dereliquerant in terra Gessen. 9 Habuit quoque in comitatu currus et equites: et facta est turba non modica. 10 Veneruntque ad Aream Atad, quæ sita est trans Jordanem: ubi celebrantes exequias planctu magno atque vehementi impleverunt septem dies. 11 Quod cum vidissent habitatores terræ Chanaan, dixerunt: Planctus magnus est iste Ægyptiis. Et idcirco vocatum est nomen loci illius, Planctus Ægypti. 12 Fecerunt ergo filii Jacob sicut præceperat eis: 13 et portantes eum in terram Chanaan, sepelierunt eum in spelunca duplici, quam emerat Abraham cum agro in possessionem sepulchri ab Ephron Hethæo, contra faciem Mambre. 14 Reversusque est Joseph in Ægyptum cum fratribus suis, et omni comitatu, sepulto patre. 15 Quo mortuo, timentes fratres ejus, et mutuo colloquentes: Ne forte memor sit injuriæ quam passus est, et reddat nobis omne malum quod fecimus, 16 mandaverunt ei dicentes: Pater tuus præcepit nobis antequam moreretur, 17 ut hæc tibi verbis illius diceremus: Obsecro ut obliviscaris sceleris fratrum tuorum, et peccati atque malitiæ quam exercuerunt in te: nos quoque oramus ut servis Dei patris tui dimittas iniquitatem hanc. Quibus auditis flevit Joseph. 18 Veneruntque ad eum fratres sui: et proni adorantes in terram, dixerunt: Servi tui sumus. 19 Quibus ille respondit: Nolite timere: num Dei possumus resistere voluntati? 20 Vos cogitastis de me malum: sed Deus vertit illud in bonum, ut exaltaret me, sicut in præsentiarum cernitis, et salvos faceret multos populos. 21 Nolite timere: ego pascam vos et parvulos vestros: consolatusque est eos, et blande ac leniter est locutus. 22 Et habitavit in Ægypto cum omni domo patris sui: vixitque centum decem annis. Et vidit Ephraim filios usque ad tertiam generationem. Filii quoque Machir filii Manasse nati sunt in genibus Joseph. 23 Quibus transactis, locutus est fratribus suis: Post mortem meam Deus visitabit vos, et ascendere vos faciet de terra ista ad terram quam juravit Abraham, Isaac et Jacob. 24 Cumque adjurasset eos atque dixisset: Deus visitabit vos, asportate ossa mea vobiscum de loco isto: 25 mortuus est, expletis centum decem vitæ suæ annis. Et conditus aromatibus, repositus est in loculo in Ægypto. |
