Genesis 50



  1. Then Joseph fell on his father's face, and wept over him, and kissed him.
  2. And Joseph commanded his servants the physicians to embalm his father.  So the physicians embalmed Israel.  (Gen. 50:26)
  3. 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.
  4. 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)
  5. '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.'"
  6. And Pharaoh said, "Go up and bury your father, as he made you swear."
  7. 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)
  8. 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)
  9. 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)
  10. So Joseph died, being one hundred and ten years old; and they embalmed him, and he was put in a coffin in Egypt.
