And the time drew near for Israel to die. And he called his son Joseph and said to him, Now if I have found favor in your eyes, please put your hand under my thigh, and deal kindly and truly with me. Please do not bury me in Egypt,

And Joseph said to his brethren, I am dying; but God will attend to visit you, and bring you up out of this land to the land of which He swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.

Then Israel said to Joseph, Behold, I am dying, but God will be with you and bring you back to the land of your fathers.

And he charged them and said to them: I am about to be gathered to my people. Bury me with my fathers in the cave that is in the field of Ephron the Hittite,

in the cave that is in the field of Machpelah, which is before Mamre in the land of Canaan, which Abraham bought with the field of Ephron the Hittite as a possession for a burial place.

But I shall die in this land, I shall not cross over the Jordan; but you shall cross over and possess that good land.

Their blood they have shed like water all around Jerusalem, and there was no one to bury them.

If a man begets a hundred, and lives many years, so that the days of his years are many, and his soul is not filled with goodness, and there is also for him no burial; I say, a miscarriage is better than he;

also they are afraid of the heights, and terrors along the way, and the almond tree blossoms, and the grasshopper is a burden, and desire fails; because man goes to his eternal home, and the mourners go about the streets;

then the dust shall return to the earth as it was, and the spirit shall return to God who gave it.

And another of His disciples said to Him, Lord, let me first go away and bury my father.

Jesus said to him, Let the dead bury their dead, but you go and preach the kingdom of God.
