Genesis 50:4-6

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

⁴ When the days of weeping for him were past, Joseph addressed the household of Pharaoh, ‘If now I have found favour with you, please speak to Pharaoh as follows: ⁵ My father made me swear an oath; he said, “I am about to die. In the tomb that I hewed out for myself in the land of Canaan, there you shall bury me.” Now therefore let me go up, so that I may bury my father; then I will return.’ ⁶ Pharaoh answered, ‘Go up, and bury your father, as he made you swear to do.’
