Genesis 47:27-31

« Gen 46Gen 47Gen 48 »

27 Now Israel ¹lived in the land of Egypt, ²in Goshen, and they ^atook possession of property in it and ^bwere fruitful and became very numerous. 28 And Jacob lived in the land of Egypt ^aseventeen years; so the days of Jacob, the years of his life, were 147 years.
29 Then ^athe 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, ^bplace now your hand under my thigh and ^cdeal with me in lovingkindness and truth. Please do not bury me in Egypt. 30 But I will ^alie down with my fathers, and you will carry me out of Egypt and bury me in ^btheir burial place.” And he said, “I will do as you have said.” 31 Then he said, “^aSwear to me.” So he swore to him. Then ^bIsrael bowed in worship at the head of the bed.
