29. The time came when Israel knew he would soon die, so he called his son Joseph to him. He said, “If you love me, put your hand under my leg and make a promise. Promise that you will do what I say and that you will be truthful with me. When I die, don’t bury me in Egypt.
30. Bury me in the place where my ancestors are buried. Carry me out of Egypt and bury me in our family grave.” Joseph answered, “I promise that I will do what you say.”
31. Then Jacob said, “Make a vow to me.” And Joseph vowed to him that he would do this. Then Israel laid his head back down on the bed.
