And the days of Jacob, the years of his life, were one hundred and forty-seven years. ²⁹ When the time of Israel’s death drew near,^[a] he called to his son, to Joseph. And he said to him, “If I have found favor in your eyes, please put your hand under my thigh, that you might vow to deal kindly^[b] and faithfully with me. Please do not bury me in Egypt, ³⁰ but let me lie with my ancestors.^[c] Carry me out of Egypt and bury me in their burial site.” And he said, “I will do according to your word.” ³¹ Then he said, “Swear to me.” And he swore to him. Then Israel bowed himself on the head of the bed.
