Now therefore let me go up, I pray thee, and bury my father, and I will come again.⇆ compare6And Pharaoh said, Go up, and bury thy father, according as he made thee swear.⇆ compare7And Joseph went up to bury his father: and with him went up all the servants of Pharaoh, the elders of his house, and all the elders of the land of Egypt,⇆ compare8And all the house of Joseph, and his brethren, and his father's house: only their little ones, and their flocks, and their herds, they left in the land of Goshen.⇆ compare9And there went up with him both chariots and horsemen: and it was a very great company.⇆ compare10And they came to the threshingfloor of Atad, which is beyond Jordan, and there they mourned with a great and very sore lamentation: and he made a mourning for his father seven days.⇆ compare11And when the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites, saw the mourning in the floor of Atad, they said, This is a grievous mourning to the Egyptians: wherefore the name of it was called Abel-mizraim, which is beyond Jordan.⇆ compare12And his sons did unto him according as he commanded them:⇆ compare13For his sons carried him into the land of Canaan, and buried him in the cave of the field of Machpelah, which Abraham bought with the field for a possession of a burial place of Ephron the Hittite, before Mamre.⇆ compare14And Joseph returned into Egypt, he, and his brethren, and all that went up with him to bury his father, after he had buried his father.⇆ compare15And when Joseph's brethren saw that their father was dead, they said, Joseph will peradventure hate us, and will certainly requite us all the evil which we did unto him.⇆ compare16And they sent a messenger unto Joseph, saying, Thy father did command before he died, saying,⇆ compare17So shall ye say unto Joseph, Forgive, I pray thee now, the trespass of thy brethren, and their sin; for they did unto thee evil: and now, we pray thee, forgive the trespass of the servants of the God of thy father.
