1 וַיִּפֹּל יֹוסֵף עַל־פְּנֵי אָבִיו וַיֵּבְךְּ עָלָיו וַיִּשַּׁק־לֹו	1 And when Joseph saw this, he fell upon his father's face weeping and kissing him.
2 וַיְצַו יֹוסֵף אֶת־עֲבָדָיו אֶת־הָרֹפְאִים לַחֲנֹט אֶת־אָבִיו וַיַּחַנְטוּ הָרֹפְאִים אֶת־יִשְׂרָאֵל	2 And he commanded his servants the physicians to embalm his father.
3 וַיִּמְלְאוּ־לֹו אַרְבָּעִים יֹום כִּי כֵּן יִמְלְאוּ יְמֵי הַחֲנֻטִים וַיִּבְכּוּ אֹתֹו מִצְרַיִם שִׁבְעִים יֹום	3 And while they were fulfilling his commands, there passed forty days: for this was the manner with bodies that were embalmed, and Egypt mounted for him seventy days.
4 וַיַּעַבְרוּ יְמֵי בְכִיתֹו וַיְדַבֵּר יֹוסֵף אֶל־בֵּית פַּרְעֹה לֵאמֹר אִם־נָא מָצָאתִי חֵן בְּעֵינֵיכֶם דַּבְּרוּ־נָא בְּאָזְנֵי פַרְעֹה לֵאמֹר	4 And the time of the mourning being expired, Joseph spoke to the family of Pharao: If I have found favour in your sight, speak in the ears of Pharao:
5 אָבִי הִשְׁבִּיעַנִי לֵאמֹר הִנֵּה אָנֹכִי מֵת בְּקִבְרִי אֲשֶׁר כָּרִיתִי לִי בְּאֶרֶץ כְּנַעַן שָׁמָּה תִּקְבְּרֵנִי וְעַתָּה אֶעֱלֶה־נָּא וְאֶקְבְּרָה אֶת־אָבִי וְאָשׁוּבָה	5 For my father made me swear to him, saying: Behold I die: thou shalt bury me in my sepulchre which I have digged for myself in the land of Chanaan. So I will go up and bury my father, and return.
6 וַיֹּאמֶר פַּרְעֹה עֲלֵה וּקְבֹר אֶת־אָבִיךָ כַּאֲשֶׁר הִשְׁבִּיעֶךָ	6 And Pharao said to him: Go up and bury thy father according as he made thee swear.
7 וַיַּעַל יֹוסֵף לִקְבֹּר אֶת־אָבִיו וַיַּעֲלוּ אִתֹּו כָּל־עַבְדֵי פַרְעֹה זִקְנֵי בֵיתֹו וְכֹל זִקְנֵי אֶרֶץ־מִצְרָיִם	7 So he went up, and there went with him all the ancients of Pharao's house, and all the elders of the land of Egypt,
8 וְכֹל בֵּית יֹוסֵף וְאֶחָיו וּבֵית אָבִיו רַק טַפָּם וְצֹאנָם וּבְקָרָם עָזְבוּ בְּאֶרֶץ גֹּשֶׁן	8 And the house of Joseph with his brethren, except their children, and their flocks and herds, which they left in the land of Gessen.
9 וַיַּעַל עִמֹּו גַּם־רֶכֶב גַּם־פָּרָשִׁים וַיְהִי הַמַּחֲנֶה כָּבֵד מְאֹד	9 He had also in his train chariots and horsemen: and it was it great company.
10 וַיָּבֹאוּ עַד־גֹּרֶן הָאָטָד אֲשֶׁר בְּעֵבֶר הַיַּרְדֵּן וַיִּסְפְּדוּ־שָׁם מִסְפֵּד גָּדֹול וְכָבֵד מְאֹד וַיַּעַשׂ לְאָבִיו אֵבֶל שִׁבְעַת יָמִים	10 And they came to the threshingfloor of Atad, which is situated beyond the Jordan: where celebrating the exequies with a great and vehement lamentation, they spent full seven days.
11 וַיַּרְא יֹושֵׁב הָאָרֶץ הַכְּנַעֲנִי אֶת־הָאֵבֶל בְּגֹרֶן הָאָטָד וַיֹּאמְרוּ אֵבֶל־כָּבֵד זֶה לְמִצְרָיִם עַל־כֵּן קָרָא שְׁמָהּ אָבֵל מִצְרַיִם אֲשֶׁר בְּעֵבֶר הַיַּרְדֵּן	11 And when the inhabitants of Chanaan saw this, they said: This is a great mourning to the Egyptians. And therefore the name of that place was called, The mourning of Egypt.
12 וַיַּעֲשׂוּ בָנָיו לֹו כֵּן כַּאֲשֶׁר צִוָּם	12 So the sons of Jacob did as he had commanded them.
13 וַיִּשְׂאוּ אֹתֹו בָנָיו אַרְצָה כְּנַעַן וַיִּקְבְּרוּ אֹתֹו בִּמְעָרַת שְׂדֵה הַמַּכְפֵּלָה אֲשֶׁר קָנָה אַבְרָהָם אֶת־הַשָּׂדֶה לַאֲחֻזַּת־קֶבֶר מֵאֵת עֶפְרֹן הַחִתִּי עַל־פְּנֵי מַמְרֵא	13 And carrying him into the land of Chanaan, they buried him in the double cave which Abraham had bought together with the held for a possession of a buryingplace, of Ephron the Hethite over against Mambre.
14 וַיָּשָׁב יֹוסֵף מִצְרַיְמָה הוּא וְאֶחָיו וְכָל־הָעֹלִים אִתֹּו לִקְבֹּר אֶת־אָבִיו אַחֲרֵי קָבְרֹו אֶת־אָבִיו	14 And Joseph returned into Egypt with his brethren, and all that were in his company, after he had buried his father.
15 וַיִּרְאוּ אֲחֵי־יֹוסֵף כִּי־מֵת אֲבִיהֶם וַיֹּאמְרוּ לוּ יִשְׂטְמֵנוּ יֹוסֵף וְהָשֵׁב יָשִׁיב לָנוּ אֵת כָּל־הָרָעָה אֲשֶׁר גָּמַלְנוּ אֹתֹו	15 Now he being dead, his brethren were afraid, and talked one with another : Lest perhaps he should remember the wrong he suffered, and requite us all the evil that we did to him.
16 וַיְצַוּוּ אֶל־יֹוסֵף לֵאמֹר אָבִיךָ צִוָּה לִפְנֵי מֹותֹו לֵאמֹר	16 And they sent a message to him, saying: Thy father commanded us before he died,
17 כֹּה־תֹאמְרוּ לְיֹוסֵף אָנָּא שָׂא נָא פֶּשַׁע אַחֶיךָ וְחַטָּאתָם כִּי־רָעָה גְמָלוּךָ וְעַתָּה שָׂא נָא לְפֶשַׁע עַבְדֵי אֱלֹהֵי אָבִיךָ וַיֵּבְךְּ יֹוסֵף בְּדַבְּרָם אֵלָיו	17 That we should say thus much to thee from him: I beseech thee to forget the wickedness of thy brethren, and the sin and malice they practiced against thee: we also pray thee, to forgive the servants of the God of thy father this wickedness. And when Joseph heard this, he wept.
18 וַיֵּלְכוּ גַּם־אֶחָיו וַיִּפְּלוּ לְפָנָיו וַיֹּאמְרוּ הִנֶּנּוּ לְךָ לַעֲבָדִים	18 And his brethren came to him: and worshipping prostrate on the ground they said: We are thy servants.
19 וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵהֶם יֹוסֵף אַל־תִּירָאוּ כִּי הֲתַחַת אֱלֹהִים אָנִי	19 And he answered them: Fear not: can we resist the will of God?
20 וְאַתֶּם חֲשַׁבְתֶּם עָלַי רָעָה אֱלֹהִים חֲשָׁבָהּ לְטֹבָה לְמַעַן עֲשֹׂה כַּיֹּום הַזֶּה לְהַחֲיֹת עַם־רָב	20 You thought evil against me: but God turned it into good, that he might exalt me, as at present you see, and might save many people.
21 וְעַתָּה אַל־תִּירָאוּ אָנֹכִי אֲכַלְכֵּל אֶתְכֶם וְאֶת־טַפְּכֶם וַיְנַחֵם אֹותָם וַיְדַבֵּר עַל־לִבָּם	21 Fear not: I will feed you and your children. And he comforted them, and spoke gently and mildly.
22 וַיֵּשֶׁב יֹוסֵף בְּמִצְרַיִם הוּא וּבֵית אָבִיו וַיְחִי יֹוסֵף מֵאָה וָעֶשֶׂר שָׁנִים	22 And he dwelt in Egypt with all his father's house: and lived a hundred and ten years. And he saw the children of Ephraim to the third generation. The children also of Machir the son of Ma-nasses were born on Joseph's knees.
23 וַיַּרְא יֹוסֵף לְאֶפְרַיִם בְּנֵי שִׁלֵּשִׁים גַּם בְּנֵי מָכִיר בֶּן־מְנַשֶּׁה יֻלְּדוּ עַל־בִּרְכֵּי יֹוסֵף	23 After which he told his brethren: God will visit you after my death, and will make you go up out of this land, to the land which he swore to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
24 וַיֹּאמֶר יֹוסֵף אֶל־אֶחָיו אָנֹכִי מֵת וֵאלֹהִים פָּקֹד יִפְקֹד אֶתְכֶם וְהֶעֱלָה אֶתְכֶם מִן־הָאָרֶץ הַזֹּאת אֶל־הָאָרֶץ אֲשֶׁר נִשְׁבַּע לְאַבְרָהָם לְיִצְחָק וּלְיַעֲקֹב	24 And he made them swear to him, saying: God will visit you, Carry my bones with you out of this place:
25 וַיַּשְׁבַּע יֹוסֵף אֶת־בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל לֵאמֹר פָּקֹד יִפְקֹד אֱלֹהִים אֶתְכֶם וְהַעֲלִתֶם אֶת־עַצְמֹתַי מִזֶּה	25 And he died being a hundred and ten years old. And being embalmed he was laid in a coffin in Egypt.
26 וַיָּמָת יֹוסֵף בֶּן־מֵאָה וָעֶשֶׂר שָׁנִים וַיַּחַנְטוּ אֹתֹו וַיִּישֶׂם בָּאָרֹון בְּמִצְרָיִם
