And forty daies were fulfilled for him ; for fo, are ful- filled, the daies of the imbalmed : and the Egyptians wept for him, feventie daies. 4 And the daies of his weeping, were palled; and Jofeph fpake, unto the houfe of Pha -' raoh, faying : If now, I have found grace;in your eies fpeake I pray you, in the cares of 5 Pharaoh,faying. My fathermade me fwear, laying ; Loe 1, die: in my grave, which I have digged for see, in the land of Canaan; there, fbalt thou bury mee: and now, let me goe-up I pray ihee,and bury my father, 6 and I will come agalae.

And there went up with him, both charets and horfinen: and it was , a very great companie. And they, to came, unto the threfhing-floore of Atad; which was beyond Jordan; and they wailed there, with a very great and heavie wailing : and he made a mourning for his father fe- ven daies. And the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites, faw the mourning in the threfhing-floore of Atad; and they Paid, this is a heavie mourning , to the Egyptians; therefore the name of it was called, The mourning of the Egyptians ; which is be- yond Jordan. And his tonnes , did unto 12 him ; fo, as he had commanded them. And 13 his fonnes caned him, into the land of Ca- naan ; and buried him , in the cave of the field ofMachpelah:which Abraham bought with the field , fora poffellion of a burying place;ofEphron the Chethite,before Mam- ree. And Jofeph returned into Egypt, lace and his brethren; and all that went -up with him,tò bury his father: after, he had buried his father. And Jofephs brethren faw, that 15 their father was dead; and they laid, Jofeph will peradventure , hate us: and rendring will render, unto us ; all the evil!, which we have rewarded him. And they cowman- 16 ded (pose) untoJofeph, laying : thy father did command, before he died, laying. Thus thall ye fay unto Jofeph;I pray thee forgive now, the trefpaffe of thy brethren and their fin, for they rewarded thee evil! ; and now, we pray thee forgive; the trefpaffe of the fervants, of the God of thy father: and Jo- fephwept, when they fpake unto him.
