4 When the days of weeping for him were past, Joseph spoke to the house of Pharaoh, saying, 'If now I have found favor in your eyes, please speak in the ears of Pharaoh, saying,
5 'My father made me swear, saying, 'Behold, I am dying. Bury me in my grave which I have dug for myself in the land of Canaan.' Now therefore, please let me go up and bury my father, and I will come again.''
6 Pharaoh said, 'Go up, and bury your father, just like he made you swear.'
7 Joseph went up to bury his father; and with him went up all the servants of Pharaoh, the elders of his house, all the elders of the land of Egypt,
8 all the house of Joseph, his brothers, and his father's house. Only their little ones, their flocks, and their herds, they left in the land of Goshen.
