Genesis 50:7-14

Expanded Bible

⁷ So Joseph went to bury his father. All ·the king’s officers [^Lservants of Pharaoh], the elders of his ·court [^Lhouse], and all the elders of Egypt went with Joseph. ⁸ ·Everyone who lived with [^LAll the house of] Joseph and his brothers went with him, as well as ·everyone who lived with [^Lall the house of] his father. They left only their ·children [little ones], their flocks, and their herds in the land of Goshen [45:10]. ⁹ They went with Joseph in chariots and on horses. It was a very large ·group [camp].

¹⁰ When they came to ·the threshing floor of Atad [or Goren-ha-atad; or the threshing floor of the bramble], near the Jordan River, they ·cried loudly and bitterly for his father [^Llamented there with a great and exceedingly strong lament]. Joseph’s time of ·sorrow [mourning] continued for seven days. ¹¹ The people that lived in Canaan saw the ·sadness [mourning] at the threshing floor of Atad [or Goren-ha-atad; or threshing floor of the bramble] and said, “Those Egyptians are ·showing great sorrow [intense in their mourning]!” So now that place is named ·Sorrow of the Egyptians [or Abel-mizraim].

¹² So Jacob’s sons did as their father commanded. ¹³ His sons carried ·his body [^Lhim] to the land of Canaan and buried ·it [or him] in the cave in the field of Machpelah near Mamre. Abraham had bought this cave and field from Ephron the Hittite to use as a burial ·place [site]. ¹⁴ After Joseph buried his father, he returned to Egypt, along with his brothers and everyone who had gone with him to bury his father.
