- Then Joseph fell on his father's
face,
and wept over him, and kissed him.
- And Joseph commanded his servants
the
physicians to embalm his father. So the physicians embalmed
Israel. (Gen. 50:26)
- Forty days were required for him,
for
such are the days required for those who are embalmed; and the
Egyptians mourned for him seventy days.
- And when the days of his mourning
were
past, Joseph spoke to the household of Pharaoh saying, "If now I have
found favour in your eyes, please speak in the hearing of Pharaoh,
saying (Esth. 4:2; Gen. 27:41)
- 'My father made me swear, saying,
"Behold, I am dying; in my grave which I dug for myself in the land of
Canaan, there you shall bury me." Now therefore, please let me go
up and bury my father, and I will come back.'"
- And Pharaoh said, "Go up and bury
your
father, as he made you swear."

- Then they came to the threshing
floor of Atad, which is beyond the Jordan, and they mourned there with
a great and very solemn lamentation. He observed seven days of
mourning for his father. (1 Sam. 31:32; Job 2:13; Acts 8:2)

- And Joseph said to his brethren,
"I am dying; but God will surely visit you, and bring you out of this
land to the land of which He swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to
Jacob." (Ex. 3:16&17)
- Then Joseph took an oath from the
children of Israel, saying, "God will surely visit you, and you shall
carry up my bones from here." (Heb. 11:21)
- So Joseph died, being one hundred
and ten years old; and they embalmed him, and he was put in a coffin in
Egypt.
