Alternate translation: “After that, he instructed his sons”
Note 1 topic: writing-quotations
וַיֹּ֤אמֶר אֲלֵהֶם֙
and=he/it_said to,them

Consider what is the best way to translate this passive clause in your language. Alternate translation: “I will soon die and be taken by God to be with” or “God will soon take my spirit to be with”
עַמִּ֔י
people,my
Alternate translation: “my relatives who have already died.” or “my relatives who have gone before me.” or “my deceased ancestors”

bury DOM=me

Alternate translation: “with the bodies of my ancestors” or “next to them”
