Genesis 50:5-7

New Century Version

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