Genesis 50:3-10

3 Then the forty days to do this were fulfilled, because in this manner the days of embalming are fulfilled. And the Egyptians awept for him seventy days.
4 Then the days of weeping for him were past, and Joseph spoke to the household of Pharaoh, saying, “If now I have found favor in your sight, please speak in the ears of Pharaoh, saying,
5 ‘aMy father made me swear, saying, “Behold, I am about to die; in my grave bwhich I dug for myself in the land of Canaan, there you shall bury me.” So now, please let me go up and bury my father; then I will return.’” 6 And Pharaoh said, “Go up and bury your father, as he made you swear.”
7 So Joseph went up to bury his father, and with him went up all the servants of Pharaoh, the elders of his household, and all the elders of the land of Egypt,
8 and all the household of Joseph and his brothers and his father’s household; they left only their little ones and their flocks and their herds in the land of Goshen. 9 There also went up with him both chariots and horsemen; and it was a very 1immense camp. 10 And they came to the 1threshing floor of Atad, which is beyond the Jordan, and they alamented there with a very great and 2immense lamentation; and he 3observed seven days of mourning for his father.
