Genesis 47:28-30

EasyEnglish Bible

²⁸ Jacob lived in Egypt for 17 years. His whole life was 147 years. ²⁹ The time came for him to die. So he called his son Joseph to come to him. Jacob said to him, ‘If you agree, make a serious promise to me. Put your hand between my legs to show that I can trust you. Promise that you will be kind to me and that you will do as I ask. When I die, do not bury me here in Egypt.^{[a] 30} Carry my body out of Egypt. Bury me in the grave of my ancestors.’ Joseph said, ‘I will do as you say.’
