Genesis 47:28 - 47:31

« Gen 46 | Gen 47 | Gen 48 »

28 And Jacob lived in the land of Egypt seventeen years; so the days of Jacob, the years of his life, were 147 years. 29 Then the days for Israel to die drew near, and he called his son Joseph and said to him, “Please, if I have found favor in your sight, place now your hand under my thigh and deal with me in lovingkindness and truth. Please do not bury me in Egypt. 30 But I will lie down with my fathers, and you will carry me out of Egypt and bury me in their burial place.” And he said, “I will do as you have said.” 31 Then he said, “Swear to me.” So he swore to him. Then Israel bowed in worship at the head of the bed.
