And Jacob lived in the land of Egypt seventeen years, - so it came to pass that the days of Jacob, the years of his life, were a hundred and forty-seven years.

And the days of Israel drew near that he must die, so he called for his son for Joseph and said to him - If, I pray thee I have found favour in thine eyes, place, I pray thee thy hand under my thigh, - so shalt thou deal with me in lovingkindness and faithfulness - Do not I pray thee, bury me in Egypt.

When I shall lie down with my fathers, then shalt thou carry me out of Egypt, and bury me in their buryingplace. And he said: I, will do according to thy word.

Then he said: Come, swear to me! And he sware to him. Then did Israel how himself down on the head of the couch.
