Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / euphemism
וְשָֽׁכַבְתִּי֙ עִם אֲבֹתַ֔י
and,rest with fathers,my
The phrase lie down with my fathers is a idiom that refers to Jacob’s death. See how you translated an idiom with a similar meaning in Gen 15:15. Alternate translation: “When I die and rest with my ancestors,” or “Rather, after I die and join my ancestors who have gone before me,”
וּנְשָׂאתַ֨נִי֙ מִמִּצְרַ֔יִם
and,carry,me from=Miʦrayim/(Egypt)
See how you translated me in verse 29. Alternate translation: “carry my body out of Egypt to the region of Canaan”
וּקְבַרְתַּ֖נִי בִּקְבֻרָתָ֑ם
and,bury,me in/on/at/with,burial_place,their
Jacob is referring here to the cave near the city of Hebron that Abraham had bought as a family burial place, to bury Sarah there. Abraham, Isaac and Rebekah were also buried there (Gen 23:19-20; 25:9-10; 49:31). You could put some of that information in a footnote. Also see how you translated “grave” in Gen 35:20 and a different word with a similar meaning (“burial place”) in Gen 23:4, 6, 9, 20. Alternate translation: “and bury me in the same burial place where their bodies are.”
Note 2 topic: writing-pronouns
וַיֹּאמַ֕ר
and,said
Make sure it is clear in your translation that Joseph is the one speaking here. It may be helpful to read this paragraph aloud to make sure it is clear who is talking at each point in the conversation. Alternate translation: “Then Joseph replied to him,”
אָנֹכִ֖י אֶֽעֱשֶׂ֥ה כִדְבָרֶֽךָ
I do as,said,you
Alternate translation: “I will do as you requested of me.” or “I will do exactly what you asked me to do.”
47:29-31 bury me with my ancestors: Cp. 49:29-33. Jacob wanted to be buried with Abraham and Isaac in the cave of Machpelah (see study note on 49:29-33; see 23:1-20; 25:7-10; 35:27-29).
• Put your hand under my thigh: This custom (cp. 24:1-9 and study note on 24:2) was a serious oath to carry on the covenant, which had as its main promise innumerable descendants in the Promised Land.
OET (OET-LV) And_rest with fathers_my and_carry_me from_Miʦrayim and_bury_me in/on/at/with_burial_place_their and_said I I_will_do as_said_you.
OET (OET-RV) When I die, I want to be buried with my ancestors, so carry me out of Egypt and bury me in their tomb.”
¶ “I’ll do what you’ve requested,” Yosef agreed.
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Greek words that they’re translated from.
