L αὐτὸν καὶ ἐφίλησεν αὐτόν. ² And Joseph𐤉𐤅𐤎𐤐 commanded𐤅𐤉𐤑𐤅 his servants𐤏𐤁𐤃𐤉𐤅 the physicians𐤄𐤓𐤐𐤀𐤉𐤌 to embalm𐤋𐤇𐤍𐤈 his father:𐤀𐤁𐤉𐤅 and the physicians𐤄𐤓𐤐𐤀𐤉𐤌 embalmed𐤅𐤉𐤇𐤍𐤈𐤅 Israel.𐤉𐤔𐤓𐤀𐤋 καὶ προσέταξεν Ἰωσὴφ τοῖς παισὶν αὐτοῦ τοῖς ἐνταφιασταῖς ἐνταφιάσαι τὸν πατέρα αὐτοῦ. καὶ ἐνεταφία’σαν ὁ ἐνταφιασταὶ τὸν Ἰσραήλ. ³ And forty𐤀𐤓𐤁𐤏𐤉𐤌 days𐤉𐤅𐤌 were fulfilled𐤅𐤉𐤌𐤋𐤀𐤅 for him; for so are fulfilled𐤉𐤌𐤋𐤀𐤅 the days𐤉𐤌𐤉 of those which are embalmed:𐤄𐤇𐤍𐤈𐤉𐤌 and the Egyptians mourned𐤅𐤉𐤁𐤊𐤅 for him threescore and ten𐤔𐤁𐤏𐤉𐤌 days.𐤉𐤅𐤌 καὶ ἐπλήρωσεν αὐτοὺς τεσσεράκοντα ἡμέρας· οὕτως γὰρ καταριθμοῦνται αἱ ἡμέραι τῆς ταφῆς. καὶ ἐπένθησεν αὐτὸν Αἴγυπτος ἑβδομήκοντα ἡμέρας. ⁴ And when the days𐤉𐤌𐤉 of his mourning𐤁𐤊𐤉𐤕𐤅 were past,𐤅𐤉𐤏𐤁𐤓𐤅 Joseph𐤉𐤅𐤎𐤐 spake𐤅𐤉𐤃𐤁𐤓 unto the house𐤁𐤉𐤕 of Pharaoh,𐤐𐤓𐤏𐤄 saying,𐤋𐤀𐤌𐤓 If now I have found𐤌𐤑𐤀𐤕𐤉 grace𐤇𐤍 in your eyes,𐤁𐤏𐤉𐤍𐤉𐤊𐤌 speak,𐤃𐤁𐤓𐤅 I pray you, in the ears𐤁𐤀𐤆𐤍𐤉 of Pharaoh,𐤐𐤓𐤏𐤄 saying,𐤋𐤀𐤌𐤓 Ἐπεισὴ δὲ παρῆλθον αἱ ἡμέραι τοῦ πένθους, ἐλάλησεν Ἰωσὴφ πρὸς τοὺς δυνάστας Φαραὼ λέγων Εἰ εὗρον χάριν ἐναντίον ὑμῶν, λαλήσατε περὶ ἐμοῦ εἰς τὰ ὦτα Φαραὼ λέγοντες ⁵ My father𐤀𐤁𐤉 made me swear,𐤄𐤔𐤁𐤉𐤏𐤍𐤉 saying,𐤋𐤀𐤌𐤓 Lo,𐤄𐤍𐤄 I die:𐤌𐤕 in my grave𐤁𐤒𐤁𐤓𐤉 which I have digged𐤊𐤓𐤉𐤕𐤉 for me in the land𐤁𐤀𐤓𐤑 of Canaan,𐤊𐤍𐤏𐤍 there shalt thou bury me.𐤕𐤒𐤁𐤓𐤍𐤉 Now therefore let me go up,𐤀𐤏𐤋𐤄 I pray thee, and bury𐤅𐤀𐤒𐤁𐤓𐤄 my father,𐤀𐤁𐤉 and I will come again.𐤅𐤀𐤔𐤅𐤁𐤄 Ὁ πατήρ με ὥρκισεν λέγων Ἐν τῷ μνημείῳ ᾧ ὤρυξα ἐμαυτῷ ἐν γῇ Χανάαν ἐκεῖ με θάψεις. νῦν οὑν ἀναβὰς θάψω τὸν πατέρα μου, καὶ ἀπελεύσομαι. ⁶ And Pharaoh𐤐𐤓𐤏𐤄 said,𐤅𐤉𐤀𐤌𐤓 Go up,𐤏𐤋𐤄 and bury𐤅𐤒𐤁𐤓 thy father,𐤀𐤁𐤉𐤊 according as he made thee swear.𐤄𐤔𐤁𐤉𐤏𐤊 καὶ εἶπεν Φαραώ Ἀνάβηθι, θάψον τὸν πατέρα σου καθάπερ ὥρκισέν σε. ⁷ And Joseph𐤉𐤅𐤎𐤐 went up𐤅𐤉𐤏𐤋 to bury𐤋𐤒𐤁𐤓 his father:𐤀𐤁𐤉𐤅 and with him went up𐤅𐤉𐤏𐤋𐤅 all the servants𐤏𐤁𐤃𐤉 of Pharaoh,𐤐𐤓𐤏𐤄 the elders𐤆𐤒𐤍𐤉 of his house,𐤁𐤉𐤕𐤅 and all the elders𐤆𐤒𐤍𐤉 of the land𐤀𐤓𐤑 of Egypt,𐤌𐤑𐤓𐤉𐤌 καὶ ἀνέβη Ἰωσὴφ θάψαι τὸν πατέρα αὐτοῦ· καὶ συνανέβησαν μετ’ αὐτοῦ πάντες οἱ παῖδες Φαραὼ καὶ οἱ πρεσβύτεροι τοῦ οἴκου αὐτοῦ, καὶ πάντες ὁ ἐροῖ τῆς γῆς Αἰγύπτου, ⁸ And all the house𐤁𐤉𐤕 of Joseph,𐤉𐤅𐤎𐤐 and his brethren,𐤅𐤀𐤇𐤉𐤅 and his father's𐤀𐤁𐤉𐤅 house:𐤅𐤁𐤉𐤕 only their little ones,𐤈𐤐𐤌 and their flocks,𐤅𐤑𐤀𐤍𐤌 and their herds,𐤅𐤁𐤒𐤓𐤌 they left𐤏𐤆𐤁𐤅 in the land𐤁𐤀𐤓𐤑 of Goshen.𐤂𐤔𐤍 καὶ πᾶσα ἡ πανοικία Ἰωσὴφ καὶ οἱ αὐτοῦ καὶ πᾶσα ἡ οἰκία ἡ πατρικὴ αὐτοῦ καὶ ἡ συγγενία αὐτοῦ. καὶ τὰ πρόβατα καὶ τοὺς βόας ὑπελίποντο ἐν γῇ Γέσεμ. ⁹ And there went up𐤅𐤉𐤏𐤋 with him both chariots𐤓𐤊𐤁 and horsemen:𐤐𐤓𐤔𐤉𐤌 and it was a very𐤌𐤀𐤃 great𐤊𐤁𐤃 company.𐤄𐤌𐤇𐤍𐤄 καὶ συνανέβησαν μετ’ αὐτοῦ καὶ ἅρματα καὶ ἱππεῖς, καὶ ἐγένετο ἡ παρεμβολὴ μεγάλη σφόδρα. ¹⁰ And they came𐤅𐤉𐤁𐤀𐤅 to the threshingfloor𐤂𐤓𐤍 of Atad,𐤄𐤀𐤈𐤃 which is beyond𐤁𐤏𐤁𐤓 Jordan,𐤄𐤉𐤓𐤃𐤍 and there they mourned𐤅𐤉𐤎𐤐𐤃𐤅 with a great𐤂𐤃𐤅𐤋 and very𐤌𐤀𐤃 sore𐤅𐤊𐤁𐤃 lamentation:𐤌𐤎𐤐𐤃 and he made𐤅𐤉𐤏𐤔 a mourning𐤀𐤁𐤋 for his father𐤋𐤀𐤁𐤉𐤅 seven𐤔𐤁𐤏𐤕 days.𐤉𐤌𐤉𐤌 καὶ καὶ παρεγένοντο εἰς ἅλωνα Ἀτάδ, ὅ ἐστιν πέραν τοῦ Ἰορδάνου, καὶ ἐκόψαντο αὐτὸν κοπετὸν μέγαν καὶ ἰσχυρὸν σφόδρα· καὶ ἐποίησαν τὸ πένθος τῷ πατρὶ αὐτοῦ ἑπτὰ ἡμέρας. ¹¹ And when the inhabitants𐤉𐤅𐤔𐤁 of the land,𐤄𐤀𐤓𐤑 the Canaanites,𐤄𐤊𐤍𐤏𐤍𐤉 saw𐤅𐤉𐤓𐤀 the mourning𐤄𐤀𐤁𐤋 in the floor𐤁𐤂𐤓𐤍 of Atad,𐤄𐤀𐤈𐤃 they said,𐤅𐤉𐤀𐤌𐤓𐤅 This is a grievous𐤊𐤁𐤃 mourning𐤀𐤁𐤋 to the Egyptians:𐤋𐤌𐤑𐤓𐤉𐤌 wherefore the name of it𐤔𐤌𐤄 was called𐤒𐤓𐤀 Abel–mizraim,𐤀𐤁𐤋 which is beyond𐤁𐤏𐤁𐤓 Jordan.𐤄𐤉𐤓𐤃𐤍 καὶ ἴδον οἱ κάτοικοι τῆς γῆς Χανάαν τὸ πένθος ἐν ἅλωνι Ἀτὰδ καὶ εἶπαν Πένθος μέγα τοῦτό ἐστιν τοῖς Αἰγυπτίοις· διὰ τοῦτο ἐκάλεσεν τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ Πένθος Αἰγύπτου, ὅ ἐστιν πέραν τοῦ Ἰορδάνου. ¹² And his sons𐤁𐤍𐤉𐤅 did𐤅𐤉𐤏𐤔𐤅 unto him according as he commanded𐤑𐤅𐤌 them: καὶ ἐποίη’σαν αὐτῶ οὕτως οἱ υἱοὶ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἔθαψαν αὐτὸν ἐκεῖ. ¹³ For his sons𐤁𐤍𐤉𐤅 carried𐤅𐤉𐤔𐤀𐤅 him into the land𐤀𐤓𐤑𐤄 of Canaan,𐤊𐤍𐤏𐤍 and buried𐤅𐤉𐤒𐤁𐤓𐤅 him in the cave𐤁𐤌𐤏𐤓𐤕 of the field𐤔𐤃𐤄 of Machpelah,𐤄𐤌𐤊𐤐𐤋𐤄 which Abraham𐤀𐤁𐤓𐤄𐤌 bought𐤒𐤍𐤄 with the field𐤄𐤔𐤃𐤄 for a possession𐤋𐤀𐤇𐤆𐤕 of a buryingplace𐤒𐤁𐤓 of Ephron𐤏𐤐𐤓𐤍 the Hittite,𐤄𐤇𐤕𐤉 before𐤐𐤍𐤉 Mamre.𐤌𐤌𐤓𐤀 καὶ ἀνέλαβον αὐτὸν οἱ υἱοὶ αὐτοῦ εἰς γῆν Χανάαν, καὶ ἔθαψαν αὐτὸν εἰς τὸ σπήλαιον τὸ διπλοῦν, ὃ ἐκτήσατο Ἀβραὰμ τὸ σπήλαιον ἐν κτήσει μνημείου παρὰ Ἐφρὼν τοῦ Χετταίου, κατέναντι Μαμβρή. ¹⁴ And Joseph𐤉𐤅𐤎𐤐 returned𐤅𐤉𐤔𐤁 into Egypt,𐤌𐤑𐤓𐤉𐤌𐤄 he, and his brethren,𐤅𐤀𐤇𐤉𐤅 and all that went up𐤄𐤏𐤋𐤉𐤌 with him to bury𐤋𐤒𐤁𐤓 his father,𐤀𐤁𐤉𐤅 after𐤀𐤇𐤓𐤉 he had buried𐤒𐤁𐤓𐤅 his father.𐤀𐤁𐤉𐤅 καὶ ἀπέστρεψεν Ἰωσὴφ εἰς Αἴγυπτον, αὐτὸς καὶ οἱ ἀδελφοὶ αὐτοῦ καὶ οἱ συναναβάντες θάψαι τὸν πατέρα αὐτοῦ. ¹⁵ And when Joseph's𐤉𐤅𐤎𐤐 brethren𐤀𐤇𐤉 saw𐤅𐤉𐤓𐤀𐤅 that their father𐤀𐤁𐤉𐤄𐤌 was dead,𐤌𐤕 they said,𐤅𐤉𐤀𐤌𐤓𐤅 Joseph𐤉𐤅𐤎𐤐 will peradventure𐤋𐤅 hate us,𐤉𐤔𐤈𐤌𐤍𐤅 and will certainly𐤅𐤄𐤔𐤁 requite𐤉𐤔𐤉𐤁 us all the evil𐤄𐤓𐤏𐤄 which we did𐤂𐤌𐤋𐤍𐤅 unto him. ἰδόντες δὲ οἱ ἀδελφοὶ Ἰωσὴφ ὅτι τέθνηκεν ὁ πατὴρ αὐτῶν εἶπαν Μή ποτε μνησικακήσῃ ἡμῖν Ἰωσήφ, καὶ ἀνταπόδομα ἀνταποδῷ ἡμῖν πάντα τὰ κακὰ ἃ ἐνεδειξάμεθα αὐτῷ. ¹⁶ And they sent a messenger𐤅𐤉𐤑𐤅𐤅 unto Joseph,𐤉𐤅𐤎𐤐 saying,𐤋𐤀𐤌𐤓 Thy father𐤀𐤁𐤉𐤊 did command𐤑𐤅𐤄 before𐤋𐤐𐤍𐤉 he died,𐤌𐤅𐤕𐤅 saying,𐤋𐤀𐤌𐤓 καὶ παρεγένοντο πρὸς Ἰωσὴφ λέγοντες Ὁ πατήρ σου ὥρκισεν πρὸ τοῦ τελευτῆσαι αὐτὸν λέγων ¹⁷ So shall ye say𐤕𐤀𐤌𐤓𐤅 unto Joseph,𐤋𐤉𐤅𐤎𐤐 Forgive,𐤔𐤀 I pray thee𐤀𐤍𐤀 now, the trespass𐤐𐤔𐤏 of thy brethren,𐤀𐤇𐤉𐤊 and their sin;𐤅𐤇𐤈𐤀𐤕𐤌 for they did𐤂𐤌𐤋𐤅𐤊 unto thee evil:𐤓𐤏𐤄 and now, we pray thee, forgive𐤔𐤀 the trespass𐤋𐤐𐤔𐤏 of the servants𐤏𐤁𐤃𐤉 of the God𐤀𐤋𐤄𐤉 of thy father.𐤀𐤁𐤉𐤊 And Joseph𐤉𐤅𐤎𐤐 wept𐤅𐤉𐤁𐤊 when they spake𐤁𐤃𐤁𐤓𐤌 unto him. Οὕτως εἴπατε Ἰωσήφ Ἄφες αὐτοῖς τὴν ἀδικίαν καὶ τὴν ἁμαρτίαν αὐτῶν, ὅτι πονηρά σοι ἐνεδείξαντο· καὶ νῦν δέξαι τὴν ἀδικίαν τῶν θεραπόντων τοῦ θεοῦ τοῦ πατρός σου. καὶ ἔκλαυσεν Ἰωσὴφ λαλούντων αὐτῶν πρὸς αὐτόν. ¹⁸ And his brethren𐤀𐤇𐤉𐤅 also went and fell down𐤅𐤉𐤐𐤋𐤅 before his face;𐤋𐤐𐤍𐤉𐤅 and they said,𐤅𐤉𐤀𐤌𐤓𐤅 Behold, we be thy servants.𐤋𐤏𐤁𐤃𐤉𐤌 καὶ ἐλθόντες πρὸς αὐτὸν εἶπαν οἵδε ἡμεῖς οἰκέται. ¹⁹ And Joseph𐤉𐤅𐤎𐤐 said𐤅𐤉𐤀𐤌𐤓 unto them, Fear𐤕𐤉𐤓𐤀𐤅 not: for am I in the place of God?𐤀𐤋𐤄𐤉𐤌 καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς Ἰωσήφ Μὴ φοβεῖσθε, τοῦ γὰρ θεοῦ ἐγὼ εἰμί’· ²⁰ But as for you, ye thought𐤇𐤔𐤁𐤕𐤌 evil𐤓𐤏𐤄 against me; but God𐤀𐤋𐤄𐤉𐤌 meant it𐤇𐤔𐤁𐤄 unto good,𐤋𐤈𐤁𐤄 to𐤋𐤌𐤏𐤍 bring to pass,𐤏𐤔𐤄 as it is this day,𐤊𐤉𐤅𐤌 to save𐤋𐤄𐤇𐤉𐤕 much𐤓𐤁 people𐤏𐤌 alive. ὑμεῖς ἐβουλεύσασθε κατ’ ἐμοῦ εἰς πονηρά, ὁ δὲ θεὸς ἐβουλεύσατο περὶ ἐμοῦ εἰς ἀγαθά, ὅπως ἂν γενηθῇ ὡς σήμερον, ἵνα τραφῇ λαὸς πολύς. ²¹ Now therefore fear𐤕𐤉𐤓𐤀𐤅 ye not: I will nourish𐤀𐤊𐤋𐤊𐤋 you, and your little ones.𐤈𐤐𐤊𐤌 And he comforted𐤅𐤉𐤍𐤇𐤌 them, and spake𐤅𐤉𐤃𐤁𐤓 kindly𐤋𐤁𐤌 unto them. εἶπεν δὲ αὐτοῖς Μὴ φοβεῖσθε· ἐγὼ διαθρέψω ὑμᾶς καὶ τὰς οἰκίας ὑμῶν. καὶ παρεκάλεσεν αὐτοὺς καὶ ἐλάλησεν αὐτῶν εἰς τὴν καρδίαν. ²² And Joseph𐤉𐤅𐤎𐤐 dwelt𐤅𐤉𐤔𐤁 in Egypt,𐤁𐤌𐤑𐤓𐤉𐤌 he, and his father's𐤀𐤁𐤉𐤅 house:𐤅𐤁𐤉𐤕 and Joseph𐤉𐤅𐤎𐤐 lived𐤅𐤉𐤇𐤉 an hundred𐤌𐤀𐤄 and ten𐤅𐤏𐤔𐤓 years.𐤔𐤍𐤉𐤌 Καὶ κατῴκησεν Ἰωσὴφ ἐν Αἰγύπτῳ, αὐτὸς καὶ οἱ ἀδελφοὶ αὐτοῦ ἑ καὶ πᾶσα ἡ πανοικία τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ· καὶ ἔζησεν Ἰωσὴφ ἔτη ἑκατὸν δέκα. ²³ And Joseph𐤉𐤅𐤎𐤐 saw𐤅𐤉𐤓𐤀 Ephraim's𐤋𐤀𐤐𐤓𐤉𐤌 children𐤁𐤍𐤉 of the third𐤔𐤋𐤔𐤉𐤌 generation: the children𐤁𐤍𐤉 also of Machir𐤌𐤊𐤉𐤓 the son𐤁𐤍 of Manasseh𐤌𐤍𐤔𐤄 were brought up𐤉𐤋𐤃𐤅 upon Joseph's𐤉𐤅𐤎𐤐 knees.𐤁𐤓𐤊𐤉 καὶ εἶδεν Ἰωσὴφ Ἐφράιμ παιδία ἕως τρίτης γενεᾶς· καὶ υἱοὶ Μαχεὶρ τοῦ υἱοῦ Μανασσὴ ἐτέχθησαν ἐπὶ μηρῶν Ἰωσήφ. ²⁴ And Joseph𐤉𐤅𐤎𐤐 said𐤅𐤉𐤀𐤌𐤓 unto his brethren,𐤀𐤇𐤉𐤅 I die:𐤌𐤕 and God𐤅𐤀𐤋𐤄𐤉𐤌 will surely𐤐𐤒𐤃 visit𐤉𐤐𐤒𐤃 you, and bring you out𐤅𐤄𐤏𐤋𐤄 of this land𐤄𐤀𐤓𐤑 unto the land𐤄𐤀𐤓𐤑 which he sware𐤍𐤔𐤁𐤏 to Abraham,𐤋𐤀𐤁𐤓𐤄𐤌 to Isaac,𐤋𐤉𐤑𐤇𐤒 and to Jacob.𐤅𐤋𐤉𐤏𐤒𐤁 καὶ εἶπεν τοῖς ἀδελφοῖς αὐτοῦ λέγων Ἐγὼ ἀποθνήσκω· ἐπισκοπῇ δὲ ι ὑμᾶς ὁ θεός, καὶ ἀνάξει ὑμᾶς ἐκ τῆς γῆς ταύτης εἰς τὴν γῆν ἣν ὤμοσεν ὁ θεὸς τοῖς πατράσιν ἡμῶν, Ἀβραὰμ καὶ Ἰσαὰκ καὶ Ἰακώβ. ²⁵ And Joseph𐤉𐤅𐤎𐤐 took an oath𐤅𐤉𐤔𐤁𐤏 of the children𐤁𐤍𐤉 of Israel,𐤉𐤔𐤓𐤀𐤋 saying,𐤋𐤀𐤌𐤓 God𐤀𐤋𐤄𐤉𐤌 will surely𐤐𐤒𐤃 visit𐤉𐤐𐤒𐤃 you, and ye shall carry up𐤅𐤄𐤏𐤋𐤕𐤌 my bones𐤏𐤑𐤌𐤕𐤉 from hence.𐤌𐤆𐤄 καὶ ὥρκισεν Ἰωσὴφ τοὺς υἱοὺς Ἰσραὴλ λέγων Ἐν τῇ ἐπισκοπῇ ᾗ ἐπισκέψεται ὑμᾶς ὁ θεὸς καὶ συνανοίσετε τὰ ὀστᾶ μου ἐντεῦθεν μεθ’ ὑμῶν. ²⁶ So Joseph𐤉𐤅𐤎𐤐 died,𐤅𐤉𐤌𐤕 being an hundred𐤌𐤀𐤄 and ten𐤅𐤏𐤔𐤓 years𐤔𐤍𐤉𐤌 old:𐤁𐤍 and they embalmed𐤅𐤉𐤇𐤍𐤈𐤅 him, and he was put𐤅𐤉𐤉𐤔𐤌 in a coffin𐤁𐤀𐤓𐤅𐤍 in Egypt.𐤁𐤌𐤑𐤓𐤉𐤌 καὶ ἐτελεύτησεν Ἰωσὴφ ἐτῶν ἑκατὸν δέκα· καὶ ἔθαψαν αὐτὸν καὶ ἔθηκαν ἐν τῇ σορῷ ἐν Αἰγύπτῳ.
