RF GEN 50:1 Then Joseph fell upon his father's face and wept, and kissed him.
RF GEN 50:2 Embalming and Burial of Jacob.
Joseph afterwards ordered his servants the physicians to embalm his father. The physicians accordingly embalmed Israel.
RF GEN 50:3 When the forty days were completed, which the embalming occupies, then the Mitzerites wept for him yet forty days,
RF GEN 50:4 and at the conclusion of the forty days of mourning, Joseph addressed the court of Pharaoh and said;—
"If, now, I have found favour in your sight, speak, I request to the ears of Pharaoh, and say;"
RF GEN 50:5 "My father made me swear, saying, 'When I die, bury me in the tomb which I cut out for myself in the land of Canaan' so now I wish to go up and bury my father, and will return."
RF GEN 50:6 Pharaoh then replied, "Go up and bury your father, as he made you swear."
RF GEN 50:7 Joseph therefore went up to bury his father, and there went up with him all the ministers of Pharaoh, the nobles of his court, and all the nobles of the land of the Mitzeraim,
RF GEN 50:8 with all the family of Joseph and his brothers, and the families of his father, except the children, and except the sheep and cattle which were left in the land of Goshen.
RF GEN 50:9 There also accompanied him chariots and horsemen, making a very large army.
RF GEN 50:10 All these marched to Goren-Hatar which is over the Jordan,1 and mourned there with a great and very heavy mourning, and made a lamentation for his father for seven days.
RF GEN 50:11 And when the inhabitants of the land of Canaan saw the lamentation at Goren-Hatar they said, "This is a great grieving, for the Mitzerites;" Therefore they called its name "Mitzers-lament." It is beyond the Jordan.1

1. This means on the West of the Jordan, and is an internal proof that Genesis was written upon the eastern side, and by Moses, during the Exodus. If it were a forgery of some unknown scribe of Jerusalem of a few centuries before Christ, he would have made "beyond Jordan" lie on the East.—F.F.
RF GEN 50:12 Thus his sons did for him as he commanded them.
RF GEN 50:13 So they, his sons, carried him to the land of Canaan, and buried him in the cave in the field of Makphelah; which field Abraham bought to be a burial place, from Ephron the Hitite, opposite Mamra.
RF GEN 50:14 Then Joseph returned to Mitzer, himself, and his brothers, and all who had accompanied him to bury his father, after he had buried his father.
RF GEN 50:15 But when Joseph's brothers saw that their father was dead, they said to one another, "Joseph will hate us; and will return upon us all the wrong which we heaped upon him."
RF GEN 50:16 They therefore sent to Joseph and said, "Our father commanded us before he died;
RF GEN 50:17 'Say to Joseph this, forgive, I pray, your brothers' fault and sin in the wrongs they heaped upon you.' Consequently we beg of you to forgive the fault of the servants of the GOD of your father."
Joseph, however, wept at their address to him.
RF GEN 50:18 Then his brothers went and fell before his face, and said, "We are your slaves."
RF GEN 50:19 But Joseph replied to them; "Fear nothing! For I am subject to GOD.
RF GEN 50:20 Although you set upon me for injury, GOD turned it to good, in order that I might make this nation, to give life to many peoples.
RF GEN 50:21 Go now do not fear me. I will protect you, and your children." Thus he comforted them and spoke to their hearts.
RF GEN 50:22 This was after Joseph returned to Mitzeraim, he and his father's family. And Joseph lived one hundred and twenty years.
RF GEN 50:23 And Joseph saw his great-grand-children from Ephraim. Sons also of Makir the son of Manasseh were fondled on the knees of Joseph.
RF GEN 50:24 At last Joseph said to his relatives, "I shall die. However the EVER-LIVING will visit you and take you up from this country to the land which He swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob."
RF GEN 50:25 Then Joseph administered an oath to the sons of Israel to say; "When your GOD visits you, take up my bones from here."
RF GEN 50:26 Thus Joseph died a hundred and twenty years old; and they embalmed him, and placed him in a coffin in Mitzeraim.
