47:27 Yacob’s burial request
27 So Yisra’el (Yacob) and his descendants settled in the Goshen region of Egypt and prospered. The had many children and quickly increased in number. 28 Yacob resided there for seventeen years, and by then he was 147 years old 29 and he was getting close to death, so he called for his son Yosef and asked him, “If, please, I have found favour in your eyes, please give me your hand and promise to deal with me in kindness and faithfulness. Please don’t bury me in Egypt.[ref] 30 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.
31 “Promise me,” he insisted. So Yosef promised him and Yisra’el bowed at the head of the bed.[fn]
47:31 Some translations assume that elderly Yacob/Yisra’el bowed to God in worship after speaking with Yosef, but it’s not impossible that he bowed to Yosef in acknowledgement of the high position that God had brought Yosef to as foretold by his dreams.
Gen 49:29-32:
49:29 Yacob’s death and burial
29 Then Yacob instructed them, “I’m about to go and join my ancestors. Bury me with them in the cave in the field that was bought from Efron the Hittite, 30 in the cave that is in Machpelah’s field in front of Mamre in Canaan. That’s the cave that my grandfather Abraham bought with the field from Ephron the Hittite as property for a burial place.[ref] 31 Abraham and his wife Sarah were buried there, along with their son Isaac and his wife Rebekah, and I also buried my wife Le’ah there.[ref] 32 That field and the cave in it was bought from the descendants of Het.
50:6:
6 “Go up and bury your father just like he made you promise.” was the reply back from Far’oh.
