Genesis 50:5-7

Easy-to-Read Version

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

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

⁷ So Joseph went to bury his father. All of Pharaoh’s officials, personal advisors, and all the older leaders of Egypt went with Joseph.
