Genesis 50:6-26 The Message (MSG)

6. Pharaoh said, “Certainly. Go and bury your father as he made you promise under oath.”

10. Arriving at the Atad Threshing Floor just across the Jordan River, they stopped for a period of mourning, letting their grief out in loud and lengthy lament. For seven days, Joseph engaged in these funeral rites for his father.

11. When the Canaanites who lived in that area saw the grief being poured out at the Atad Threshing Floor, they said, “Look how deeply the Egyptians are mourning.” That is how the site at the Jordan got the name Abel Mizraim (Egyptian Lament).

18. Then the brothers went in person to him, threw themselves on the ground before him and said, “We’ll be your slaves.”

24. At the end, Joseph said to his brothers, “I am ready to die. God will most certainly pay you a visit and take you out of this land and back to the land he so solemnly promised to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.”

25. Then Joseph made the sons of Israel promise under oath, “When God makes his visitation, make sure you take my bones with you as you leave here.”

26. Joseph died at the age of 110 years. They embalmed him and placed him in a coffin in Egypt.
