Genesis 47:28-30

New English Translation

²⁸ Jacob lived in the land of Egypt seventeen years; the years^[a] of Jacob’s life were 147 in all. ²⁹ The time^[b] for Israel to die approached, so he called for his son Joseph and said to him, “If now I have found favor in your sight, put your hand under my thigh^[c] and show me kindness and faithfulness.^[d] Do not bury me in Egypt, ³⁰ but when I rest^[e] with my fathers, carry me out of Egypt and bury me in their burial place.” Joseph^[f] said, “I will do as you say.”
