  ²² We said to my lord, ‘The boy can’t leave his father, for if he should leave his father, his father would die.’

  ²³ You said to your servants, ‘Unless your youngest brother comes down with you, you will see my face no more.’

  ²⁴ When we came up to your servant my father, we told him the words of my lord.

  ²⁵ Our father said, ‘Go again and buy us a little food.’

  ²⁶ We said, ‘We can’t go down. If our youngest brother is with us, then we will go down: for we may not see the man’s face, unless our youngest brother is with us.’

  ²⁷ Your servant, my father, said to us, ‘You know that my wife bore me two sons.

  ²⁸ One went out from me, and I said, “Surely he is torn in pieces;” and I haven’t seen him since.

  ²⁹ If you take this one also from me, and harm happens to him, you will bring down my gray hairs with sorrow to Sheol.’

  ³⁰ Now therefore when I come to your servant my father, and the boy is not with us; since his life is bound up in the boy’s life;

  ³¹ it will happen, when he sees that the boy is no more, that he will die. Your servants will bring down the gray hairs of your servant, our father, with sorrow to Sheol.

  ³² For your servant became collateral for the boy to my father, saying, ‘If I don’t bring him to you, then I will bear the blame to my father forever.’

  ³³ Now therefore, please let your servant stay instead of the boy, my lord’s slave; and let the boy go up with his brothers.

  ³⁴ For how will I go up to my father, if the boy isn’t with me?—lest I see the evil that will come on my father.”

  ⁴ Joseph said to his brothers, “Come near to me, please.” They came near. He said, “I am Joseph, your brother, whom you sold into Egypt.

  ⁵ Now don’t be grieved, nor angry with yourselves, that you sold me here, for God sent me before you to preserve life.

  ⁶ For these two years the famine has been in the land, and there are yet five years, in which there will be no plowing and no harvest.

  ⁷ God sent me before you to preserve for you a remnant on the earth, and to save you alive by a great deliverance.

  ⁸ So now it wasn’t you who sent me here, but God, and he has made me a father to Pharaoh, lord of all his house, and ruler over all the land of Egypt.

  ¹³ Joseph took them both, Ephraim in his right hand toward Israel’s left hand, and Manasseh in his left hand toward Israel’s right hand, and brought them near to him.

  ¹⁴ Israel stretched out his right hand, and laid it on Ephraim’s head, who was the younger, and his left hand on Manasseh’s head, guiding his hands knowingly, for Manasseh was the firstborn.

  ¹⁵ He blessed Joseph, and said, “The God before whom my fathers Abraham and Isaac walked, the God who has fed me all my life long to this day,

  ¹⁶ the angel who has redeemed me from all evil, bless the lads, and let my name be named on them, and the name of my fathers Abraham and Isaac. Let them grow into a multitude upon the earth.”

  ²⁸ All these are the twelve tribes of Israel, and this is what their father spoke to them, and blessed them. He blessed everyone according to his own blessing.

  ²⁹ He instructed them, and said to them, “I am to be gathered to my people. Bury me with my fathers in the cave that is in the field of Ephron the Hittite,

  ³⁰ in the cave that is in the field of Machpelah, which is before Mamre, in the land of Canaan, which Abraham bought with the field from Ephron the Hittite as a burial place.

  ³¹ There they buried Abraham and Sarah, his wife. There they buried Isaac and Rebekah, his wife, and there I buried Leah:

  ³² the field and the cave that is therein, which was purchased from the children of Heth.”

  ³³ When Jacob finished charging his sons, he gathered up his feet into the bed, breathed his last breath, and was gathered to his people.

  ²² Joseph lived in Egypt, he, and his father’s house. Joseph lived one hundred ten years.

  ²³ Joseph saw Ephraim’s children to the third generation. The children also of Machir, the son of Manasseh, were born on Joseph’s knees.

  ²⁴ Joseph said to his brothers, “I am dying, but God will surely visit you, and bring you up out of this land to the land which he swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.”

  ²⁵ Joseph took an oath from the children of Israel, saying, “God will surely visit you, and you shall carry up my bones from here.”

  ²⁶ So Joseph died, being one hundred ten years old, and they embalmed him, and he was put in a coffin in Egypt.
