Genesis 50:4-6

New International Reader's Version

⁴ After the days of sadness had passed, Joseph went to Pharaoh’s officials. He said to them, “If you are pleased with me, speak to Pharaoh for me. Tell him, ⁵ ‘My father made me give my word to him. He said, “I’m about to die. Bury me in the tomb I dug for myself in the land of Canaan.” So let me go there and bury my father. Then I’ll come back.’ ”

⁶ Pharaoh said, “Go there and bury your father. Do what he made you promise to do.”
