וַ⁠יִּקְרָ֣א ׀ לִ⁠בְנ֣⁠וֹ לְ⁠יוֹסֵ֗ף

and=he/it_called to,son_of,his to,Joseph

שִֽׂים־נָ֥א יָדְ⁠ךָ֖ תַּ֣חַת יְרֵכִ֑⁠י

put now hand_of,your below/instead_of thigh_of,my

See how you translated this clause in Gen 24:2, and see the note about this custom there. Alternate translation: “put your hand under my leg to show that you will do what I ask,” or “make a vow by putting your hand under my leg,”

וְ⁠עָשִׂ֤יתָ עִמָּדִ⁠י֙ חֶ֣סֶד וֶ⁠אֱמֶ֔ת

and,deal with=me kindness and,faithfulness

Consider again how you translated kindness in Gen 19:19; 20:13; 21:23; 24:12, 14, 27, 49; 32:10; 39:21; 40:14; 47:29, and how you translated faithfulness in Gen 24:27, 48, 49; 32:10; 42:16; 47:29.

אַל־נָ֥א תִקְבְּרֵ֖⁠נִי

not now bury,me

Make sure your translation of bury me does not sound like Israel would still be alive when he was buried. Alternate translation: “Please promise that you will not bury my bones”

בְּ⁠מִצְרָֽיִם

in/on/at/with,Egypt

Alternate translation: “here in the land of Egypt.”
