Chap. L.
Ioseph causeth his fathers bodie to be embawmed; 3. the dayes of mourning
being expired, 6. with Pharaos leaue, Ioseph with the ancients of Ægypt,
al his brethren, and elder sorte of Israelites goe, and solemnly burie the
bodie in Chanaan. 14. After their returne, his brethren fearing, lest Ioseph
wil now reuenge former iniuries, be freely forgiueth al. 22. At the
age of 110. yeares, adiuring the posteritie to carie his bones into Chanaan
he dieth, and is put in a coffin.
1 VVhich Ioseph seeing, fel vpon his fathers face
weeping and kissing him.
2 And he commanded
his seruantes the physitians, that they should embawme his
father with spices.
3 Who fufilling his commandements,
there passed fourtie dayes: for this was the maner of corses
embawmed, and Ægypt mourned him seuentie daies.
4 And the mourning time being expired, Ioseph spake to
the familie of Pharao: If I haue found grace in your sight,
speake in the eares of Pharao:
5 for so much as my father did
adiure me, saing: Behold I die, in my sepulchre note which I
digged for my selfe in the land of Chanaan, thou shalt burie
me. I wil goe vp therfore, and burie my father, and returne.
6 And Pharao said to him: Goe vp and burie thy father as
thou wast adiured.
7 Who going vp, there went with him
al the ancients of Pharaos house, and al the elders of the
Land of Ægypt:
8 the house of Ioseph with his brethren,
sauing their little ones, and the flockes and heards, which
they had left in the Land of Gessen.
9 He had also in his
traine chariotts and horsemen: and it became no smal multitude.
10 And they came to the floore of Atad, which is
situate beyond Iordaine: where celebrating the exequies
with great and vehement mourning, they spent ful seuen
dayes.
11 Which when the Inhabiters of the Land of Chanaan
had seene, they said: This is a great mourning vnto the
Ægyptians. And therfore the name of that place was called,
-- --
Ioseph.
The mourning of Ægypt.
12 Therfore the sonnes of Iacob
did as he commanded them:
13 and carying him into
the Land of Chanaan, they buried him in the duble caue,
which Abraham had bought with the field for a possession
to burie in of Ephron the Hethite against Mambre.
14 And
Ioseph returned into Ægypt with his brethren, and with
al the traine, his father being buried.
15 After whose death,
his brethren fearing, and talking one with an other: Lest
perhaps he be mindful of the iniurie which he suffered, and
requite vs al the euil that we haue done,
16 they aduertised
him saing: Thy father commanded vs before he died,
17 that
we should say thus much to thee in his wordes: I besech
that thou forget the wicked fact of thy brethren, and the
sinne & malice which they haue exercised against thee:
we also desire thee, that to the seruants of the God of thy
father thou remit this iniquitie. Whom when Ioseph had
heard he wept.
18 And his brethren came to him: and
noteadoring prostrate on the ground they said: We are thy seruantes.
19 To whom he answered: Feare not: can we resist
the wil of God?
20 09Q0114You thought euil against me: but God
turned that into good, that he might exalt me, as presently
you see, and might saue many peoples.
21 Feare not: I wil
feed you & your litle ones, and he comforted them, and
spake gently & mildly.
22 And he dwelt in Ægypt, wih al
his fathers house: and liued an hundred and tenne yeares.
And he sawe the children of Ephraim vnto the third generation.
Also the children of Machir the sonne of Manasses
were borne in Iosephs knees.
23 Which thinges being done,
he spake to his brethren: After my death God wil visite you,
and wil make you goe vp out of this land, to the land which
he sware to Abraham, Isaac, and Iacob.
24 And when he had
adiured them and said: God wil visite you,09Q0115 carie my bones
with you out of this place:
25 he died, being an hundred
and tenne yeares old. And being embawmed with spices,
was put in a coffin in Ægypt.
