12. And his sons do to him so as he commanded them,
13. and his sons bear him away to the land of Canaan, and bury him in the cave of the field of Machpelah, which Abraham bought with the field for a possession of a burying-place, from Ephron the Hittite, on the front of Mamre.
14. And Joseph turneth back to Egypt, he and his brethren, and all who are going up with him to bury his father, after his burying his father.
15. And the brethren of Joseph see that their father is dead, and say, `Peradventure Joseph doth hate us, and doth certainly return to us all the evil which we did with him.'
16. And they give a charge for Joseph, saying, `Thy father commanded before his death, saying,
17. Thus ye do say to Joseph, I pray thee, bear, I pray thee, with the transgression of thy brethren, and their sin, for they have done thee evil; and now, bear, we pray thee, with the transgression of the servants of the God of thy father;' and Joseph weepeth in their speaking unto him.
18. And his brethren also go and fall before him, and say, `Lo, we [are] to thee for servants.'
19. And Joseph saith unto them, `Fear not, for [am] I in the place of God?
20. As for you, ye devised against me evil--God devised it for good, in order to do as [at] this day, to keep alive a numerous people;
21. and now, fear not: I do nourish you and your infants;' and he comforteth them, and speaketh unto their heart.
