When Iacob had commanded all that he would unto
his sons, he plucked up his feet upon the bed and died, and was
put unto his people;
Chapter .l.
And Ioseph fell upon his father's face, and wept upon him, and
kissed him. And Ioseph commanded his servants that were
Physicians, to embalm his father, and the Physicians embalmed
Israel forty days long, for so long doth the embalming last, and
the Egyptians bewept him seventy days. And when the days of
weeping were ended, Ioseph spake unto the house of Pharao saying:
If I have found favour in your eyes, speak unto Pharao and tell
him, how that my father made me swear and said: lo, I die, see
that thou bury me in my grave which I have made me in the land of
Canaan. Now therefore let me go and bury my father, and then will
I come again. And Pharao said, go and bury thy father, according
as he made thee swear. And Ioseph went up to bury his father, and
with him went all the servants of Pharao that were the elders of
his house, and all the elders of Egypt, and all the house of
Ioseph and his brethren and his father's house: only their
children and their sheep and their cattle left they behind them in
the land of Gosan. And there went with him also Chariots and
horsemen: so that they were an exceeding great company.
