Genesis 50

1 Joseph fell on his father’s face, wept on him, and kissed him.

And Ioseph fell apon his fathers face and wepte apon him and kyssed him.

2 Joseph commanded his servants, the physicians, to embalm his father; and the physicians embalmed Israel.

And Ioseph commaunded his seruauntes that were Phisicions to embawme his father and the Phisicios ebawmed Israel

3 Forty days were used for him, for that is how many days it takes to embalm. The Egyptians wept for Israel for seventy days.

.xl. dayes loge for so loge doth ye embawminge last and the Egiptians bewepte him. lxx. dayes.

4 When the days of weeping for him were past, Joseph spoke to Pharaoh’s staff, saying, “If now I have found favor in your eyes, please speak in the ears of Pharaoh, saying,

And when the dayes of wepynge were ended Ioseph spake vnto ye house of Pharao saynge: Yf I haue founde fauoure in youre eyes speake vnto Pharao and tell him how that

5 ‘My father made me swear, saying, “Behold, I am dying. Bury me in my grave which I have dug for myself in the land of Canaan.” Now therefore, please let me go up and bury my father, and I will come again.’”

my father made me swere and sayde: loo Ioye se that thou burye me in my graue which I haue made me in the lande of Canaan. Now therfore let me goo and burye my father ad tha will I come agayne.

6 Pharaoh said, “Go up, and bury your father, just like he made you swear.”

And Pharao sayde goo and burye thy father acordynge as he made the swere.

7 Joseph went up to bury his father; and with him went up all the servants of Pharaoh, the elders of his house, all the elders of the land of Egypt,

And Ioseph went vp to burie his father and with him went all the seruauntes of Pharao that were the elders of his house ad all ye elders of Egipte

8 all the house of Joseph, his brothers, and his father’s house. Only their little ones, their flocks, and their herds, they left in the land of Goshen.

and all the house of Ioseph ad his brethern and his fathers house: only their childern and their shepe and their catell lefte they behinde them in the lande of Gosan.

9 Both chariots and horsemen went up with him. It was a very great company.

And there went with him also Charettes and horsemen: so that they were an exceadynge great companye.

10 They came to the threshing floor of Atad, which is beyond the Jordan, and there they lamented with a very great and severe lamentation. He mourned for his father seven days.

And when they came to ye feld of Atad beyonde Iordane there they made great and exceadinge sore lamentacio. And he morned for his father. vij. dayes.

11 When the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites, saw the mourning in the floor of Atad, they said, “This is a grievous mourning by the Egyptians.” Therefore its name was called Abel Mizraim, which is beyond the Jordan.

When the enhabiters of the lande the Cananytes sawe the moornynge in ye felde of Atad they saide: this is a greate moornynge which the Egiptians make. Wherfore ye name of the place is called Abel mizraim which place lyeth beyonde Iordane.

12 His sons did to him just as he commanded them,

And his sonnes dyd vnto him acordynge as he had commaunded them.

13 for his sons carried him into the land of Canaan, and buried him in the cave of the field of Machpelah, which Abraham bought with the field, as a possession for a burial site, from Ephron the Hittite, near Mamre.

And his sonnes caried him in to the land of Canaan and buryed him in the double caue which Abraha had boughte with the felde to be a place to burye in of Ephron the Hethite before Mamre.

14 Joseph returned into Egypt—he, and his brothers, and all that went up with him to bury his father, after he had buried his father.

And Ioseph returned to Egipte agayne and his brethern and all that went vp with him to burye his father assone as he had buryed him.

15 When Joseph’s brothers saw that their father was dead, they said, “It may be that Joseph will hate us, and will fully pay us back for all the evil which we did to him.”

Whe Iosephs brethern sawe that their father was deade they sayde: Ioseph myghte fortune to hate us and rewarde us agayne all the euell which we dyd vnto him.

16 They sent a message to Joseph, saying, “Your father commanded before he died, saying,

They dyd therfore a commaundment vnto Ioseph saynge: thy father charged before his deth saynge.

17 ‘You shall tell Joseph, “Now please forgive the disobedience of your brothers, and their sin, because they did evil to you.”’ Now, please forgive the disobedience of the servants of the God of your father.” Joseph wept when they spoke to him.

This wise say vnto Ioseph forgeue I praye the the trespace of thy brethern and their synne for they rewarded the euell. Now therfore we praye the forgeue the trespace of the servuantes of thy fathers God. And Ioseph wepte when they spake vnto him.

18 His brothers also went and fell down before his face; and they said, “Behold, we are your servants.”

And his brethern came ad fell before him and sayde: beholde we be thy servauntes.

19 Joseph said to them, “Do not be afraid, for am I in the place of God?

And Ioseph sayde vnto them: feare not for am not I vnder god?

20 As for you, you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good, to save many people alive, as is happening today.

Ye thoughte euell vnto me: but God turned it vnto good to bringe to passe as it is this daye euen to saue moch people a lyue

21 Now therefore do not be afraid. I will provide for you and your little ones.” He comforted them, and spoke kindly to them.

feare not therfore for I will care for you and for youre childern and he spake kyndly vnto them.

22 Joseph lived in Egypt, he, and his father’s house. Joseph lived one hundred ten years.

Ioseph dwelt in Egipte and his fathers house also ad lyved an hundred and. x. yere.

23 Joseph saw Ephraim’s children to the third generation. The children also of Machir, the son of Manasseh, were born on Joseph’s knees.

And Ioseph sawe Ephraims childern eue vnto the thyrde generation. And vnto Machir the sonne of Manasses were childern borne and satt on Iosephs knees.

24 Joseph said to his brothers, “I am dying, but God will surely visit you, and bring you up out of this land to the land which he swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.”

And Ioseph sayde vnto his brethern: I die And God will suerlie vysett you and bringe you out of this lande vnto the lande which he sware vnto Abraham Isaac and Iacob.

25 Joseph took an oath from the children of Israel, saying, “God will surely visit you, and you shall carry up my bones from here.”

And Ioseph toke an ooth of the childern of Israel ad sayde: God will not fayle but vysett you se therfore that ye carye my boones hence.

26 So Joseph died, being one hundred ten years old, and they embalmed him, and he was put in a coffin in Egypt.

And so Ioseph dyed when he was an hundred and. x. yere olde. And they enbawmed him and put him in a chest in Egipte.
