Genesis 47:29-31

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

²⁹ When the time of Israel’s death drew near, he called his son Joseph and said to him, “If I have found favor with you, put your hand under my thigh and promise to deal loyally and truly with me. Do not bury me in Egypt.^{(A) 30} When I lie down with my ancestors, carry me out of Egypt and bury me in their burial place.” He answered, “I will do as you have said.”^{(B) 31} And he said, “Swear to me,” and he swore to him. Then Israel bowed himself on the head of his bed.^(C)
