Genesis 50:5-7

International Children’s Bible

⁵ ‘When my father was near death, I made a promise to him. I promised I would bury him in a cave in the land of Canaan. This is a burial place that he cut out for himself. So please let me go and bury my father. Then I will return.’”

⁶ The king answered, “Keep your promise. Go and bury your father.”

⁷ So Joseph went to bury his father. All the king’s officers, the elders of his court and all the elders of Egypt went with Joseph.
