⁵ Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Your father and your brothers have come to you, ⁶ and the land of Egypt is before you; settle^(A) your father and your brothers in the best part of the land.^(B) Let them live in Goshen. And if you know of any among them with special ability,^(C) put them in charge of my own livestock.^(D)”

⁷ Then Joseph brought his father Jacob in and presented him^(E) before Pharaoh. After Jacob blessed^[a] Pharaoh,^{(F) 8} Pharaoh asked him, “How old are you?”

⁹ And Jacob said to Pharaoh, “The years of my pilgrimage are a hundred and thirty.^(G) My years have been few and difficult,^(H) and they do not equal the years of the pilgrimage of my fathers.^(I)” ¹⁰ Then Jacob blessed^[b] Pharaoh^(J) and went out from his presence.

50 Joseph threw himself on his father and wept over him and kissed him.^{(A) 2} Then Joseph directed the physicians in his service to embalm his father Israel. So the physicians embalmed him,^{(B) 3} taking a full forty days, for that was the time required for embalming. And the Egyptians mourned for him seventy days.^(C)

⁴ When the days of mourning^(D) had passed, Joseph said to Pharaoh’s court,^(E) “If I have found favor in your eyes,^(F) speak to Pharaoh for me. Tell him, ⁵ ‘My father made me swear an oath^(G) and said, “I am about to die;^(H) bury me in the tomb I dug for myself^(I) in the land of Canaan.”^(J) Now let me go up and bury my father;^(K) then I will return.’”

⁶ Pharaoh said, “Go up and bury your father, as he made you swear to do.”
