1And after this the time drew near for Jacob Israel to go forth from the body. He called Joseph and spoke to him as follows: ‘If I have found favour with you, then put your blessed hand upon my thigh and swear to me on oath before the Lord to lay my body in my father's grave.’
2And Joseph said to him, ‘I will do as you ask, my God-loving father.’ His father said to him, ‘I would have you swear’; and Joseph swore the oath to Jacob his father that he would take his body to his father's grave.
3And Jacob bowed himself upon his son’s neck.
