Dan, shall vindicate his people, - as one of the tribes of Israel;

It cometh to pass that, Dan, is a serpent upon the way, A horned viper, upon the path, - That biteth the heels of the horse, And his rider falleth backwards: -

Out of Asher, fatness, is his feed, - So, he, setteth forth dainties for a king.

But abideth, as an enduring one, his bow, And supple are the arms of his hands, - From the hands of the Mighty One of Jacob, From thence, is the Shepherd the Stone of Israel:

And his sons did for him thus as he had commanded them;

so his sons carried him to 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 from Ephron the Hittite over against Mamre.

Then Joseph returned to Egypt he and his brethren and all who had been up with him to bury his father, - after he had buried his father.

Then went his brethren also, and fell down before him, - and said, Behold us! thine for servants.

And Joseph abode in Egypt, he, and his fathers house, - and Joseph lived a hundred and ten years.

Then said Joseph unto his brethren, I, am about to die, - but God will surely concern, himself for you, so will he take you up out of this land, into the land which he sware to Abraham to Isaac and to Jacob.
