50 Then Yosef (Joseph) hugged his father and cried over him and kissed him. 2 Then he commanded those of his servants who were physicians to embalm his father. So Yisrael’s (Israel) body was embalmed 3 over the next forty days (which is the normal time for embalming), and the Mitsrim (Egyptians) mourned for him for seventy days.
4 After those mourning days were over, Yosef spoke to Par’oh’s (Pharaoh) servants, saying, “Please, if I have found favour in your eyes, please tell Par’oh that 5 my father made me swear, saying, ‘Listen, I am dying. You must bury me in my grave that I dug for myself in Kena’an (Canaan).’[ref] So now, please ask Par’oh to let me go up there and bury my father, then I’ll return.”
6 ⇔“Go up and bury your father just like he made you promise.” was the reply back from Par’oh.
7 So Yosef went up to Kena’an to bury his father. Par’oh’s servants went with him, along with the elders from Par’oh’s household and all the elders of the land of Mitsrayim (Egypt). 8 Yosef’s own household also went, along with his brothers and his father’s household. They only left their children and their livestock behind in Goshen. 9 There were chariots as well as soldiers mounted on horses so it was a very large procession.
10 After they crossed the Yarden (Jordan) river, they arrived at Atad’s threshing floor, and they mourned there for seven days with very loud wailing. 11 The local Kena’ani (Canaanite) people saw the mourning at Atad’s threshing floor, and they said, “This is very serious mourning for the Mitsrim (Egyptians).” That’s why they then named that place across the Yarden ‘Avel-Mitsrayim’ (which means ‘the Mitsrim mourned here’).
12 So Ya’akov’s (Jacob) sons did everything just how he’d instructed them. 13 They carried his embalmed body to Kena’an and buried him in the cave in Makpelah’s field. Avraham had bought with the field with the included cave from Efron the Hiti as property for a burial place, in front of Mamre.[ref] 14 Then after his father’s burial was completed, Yosef returned to Mitsrayim (Egypt) along with his brothers and everyone who had gone up with him to bury him.
15 Now that their father was no longer alive, Yosef’s (Joseph) brothers said to each other, “What if Yosef hates us and now he decides to repay us for all the evil things that we did to him?” 16 So they sent a messenger to Yosef to tell him, “Before he died, your father ordered that 17 you be given this message: ‘I beg you, please forgive your brothers’ crime and their sin, because they did evil things to you.’ So now, please forgive the crime of the servants of your father’s god.” When Yosef heard their message, he started crying.
18 Then his brothers also came and bowed to the ground in front of him and pleaded, “Here we are. We belong to you as slaves.”
19 “Don’t be afraid,” Yosef answered. “I’m not God and it’s not my job to decide on your punishment. 20 You all plotted evil things against me, but God intended it for good in order to do what he’s doing this very day: to save many people. 21 So now, don’t be afraid. I’ll support you and your little ones.” So he reassured them and he spoke kindly to them.
50:22 Yosef’s death
22 Yosef (Joseph) continued to live in Mitsrayim (Egypt), along with the rest of his father Ya’akov’s (Jacob) family, until he was 110 years old. 23 He lived long enough to see his son Efrayim’s (Ephraim) children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. The children of his grandson Makir, who was Menasheh’s (Manasseh) son, also grew up around him. 24 Then one day Yosef said to his brothers, “I’m about to die, but God will definitely help you all and take you and your descendants from this country to the land that he vowed to give to Avraham, Yitshak (Isaac), and Ya’akov. 25 When God does that, you must take my body back to Kena’an (Canaan) with you and bury it there.” Then Yosef had his brothers and the rest of the descendants of Yisrael (Israel) vow that they would do that.[ref] 26 Then Yosef died at the age of 110, and the specialists embalmed his body and it was put in a coffin in a tomb in Mitsrayim.
