The mourning for Jacob
And Joseph fell on his father's face and wept over him and kissed him. And Joseph told his servants the physicians to embalm his father. And the physicians embalmed Israel. And forty days went by for him, because that's how long embalming takes. And the Egyptians mourned him seventy days. And when the days of mourning were over, Joseph spoke to Pharaoh's household: If you are pleased with me, please speak to Pharaoh for me. My father made me swear: Look, I'm dying. Bury me in the grave I dug for myself in the land of Canaan. So let me go up and bury my father, and I'll come back. And Pharaoh said: Go up and bury your father, the way he made you swear. And Joseph went up to bury his father. And with him went all Pharaoh's servants, the elders of his house and all the elders of the land of Egypt, and Joseph's whole household, and his brothers, and his father's household. Only their little ones and their flocks and their herds were left behind in the land of Goshen. And chariots and horsemen went up with him. It was a very great company. And they came to the threshing floor of Atad, beyond the Jordan, and there they mourned with a great and heavy mourning. And he made a mourning for his father seven days. And when the people of the country, the Canaanites, saw the mourning at the floor of Atad, they said: This is a heavy mourning for the Egyptians. That's why the place was called Abelmizraim, beyond the Jordan. And his sons did for him exactly as he'd ordered them. His sons carried him into the land of Canaan and buried him in the cave in the field of Machpelah, which Abraham bought with the field from Ephron the Hittite for a burial place, before Mamre. And after he'd buried his father, Joseph went back to Egypt, him and his brothers and everyone who'd gone up with him to bury his father.
And Joseph fell on his father's face and wept over him and kissed him. And Joseph ordered his servants the doctors to embalm his father. And the doctors embalmed Israel. And forty days were done for him, because that's how many the days of the ones who are embalmed are done. And the Egyptians mourned for him seventy days. And when the days of his mourning were past, Joseph spoke to the house of Pharaoh: If I've found favour in your eyes now, speak in the ears of Pharaoh, please: My father made me swear: Look — I'm dying. In my grave that I've dug for myself in the land of Canaan, that's where you'll bury me. So now let me go up, please, and bury my father, and I'll come back. And Pharaoh said: Go up and bury your father, the way he made you swear. And Joseph went up to bury his father. And with him went up all the servants of Pharaoh, the elders of his house and all the elders of the land of Egypt, and all the house of Joseph and his brothers and his father's house. Only their little ones and their flocks and their herds they left in the land of Goshen. And there went up with him both chariots and horsemen. And it was a very great company. And they came to the threshing floor of Atad, which is beyond the Jordan. And there they mourned with a great and very bad mourning. And he made a mourning for his father seven days. And when the people of the land, the Canaanites, saw the mourning at the threshing floor of Atad, they said: This is a bad mourning for the Egyptians. That's why its name was called Abel Mizraim, which is beyond the Jordan. And his sons did to him what he'd ordered them. Because his sons carried him into the land of Canaan and buried him in the cave of the field of Machpelah, that Abraham bought with the field as a burial place from Ephron the Hittite, in front of Mamre. And Joseph went back into Egypt, he and his brothers and everyone who'd gone up with him to bury his father, after he'd buried his father.
And Joseph fell upon his father’s face, and wept upon him, and kissed him. And Joseph commanded his servants the physicians to embalm his father: and the physicians embalmed Israel. And forty days were fulfilled for him; for so are fulfilled the days of those which are embalmed: and the Egyptians mourned for him threescore and ten days. And when the days of his mourning were past, Joseph spake unto the house of Pharaoh, saying, If now I have found grace in your eyes, speak, I pray you, in the ears of Pharaoh, saying, My father made me swear, saying, Lo, I die: in my grave which I have digged for me in the land of Canaan, there shalt thou bury me. Now therefore let me go up, I pray thee, and bury my father, and I will come again. And Pharaoh said, Go up, and bury thy father, according as he made thee swear. And Joseph went up to bury his father: and with him went up all the servants of Pharaoh, the elders of his house, and all the elders of the land of Egypt, And all the house of Joseph, and his brethren, and his father’s house: only their little ones, and their flocks, and their herds, they left in the land of Goshen. And there went up with him both chariots and horsemen: and it was a very great company. And they came to the threshingfloor of Atad, which is beyond Jordan, and there they mourned with a great and very sore lamentation: and he made a mourning for his father seven days. And when the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites, saw the mourning in the floor of Atad, they said, This is a grievous mourning to the Egyptians: wherefore the name of it was called Abelmizraim, which is beyond Jordan. And his sons did unto him according as he commanded them: For his sons carried him into the land of Canaan, and buried him in the cave of the field of Machpelah, which Abraham bought with the field for a possession of a buryingplace of Ephron the Hittite, before Mamre. And Joseph returned into Egypt, he, and his brethren, and all that went up with him to bury his father, after he had buried his father.

You meant evil, God meant good
And when Joseph's brothers saw their father was dead, they said: What if Joseph has it in for us, and pays us back for all the wrong we did him? So they sent a message to Joseph: Your father gave an order before he died. This is what you're to say to Joseph: Forgive the wrong your brothers did and the sin they committed against you. And now, forgive the wrong of the servants of the God of your father. And Joseph wept when they said it to him. And his brothers went and fell down in front of him too, and said: Here we are. We're your servants. And Joseph said to them: Don't be frightened. Am I in the place of God? You meant evil against me, but God meant it for good, to bring about what has happened today and keep many people alive. So don't be frightened. I'll keep you going, and your little ones. And he put their minds at rest and spoke kindly to them.

And he comforted them and spoke kindly to them.
And when Joseph’s brethren saw that their father was dead, they said, Joseph will peradventure hate us, and will certainly requite us all the evil which we did unto him.
