Genesis 47:27-29
1599 Geneva Bible
27 ¶ And Israel dwelt in the land of Egypt, in the country of Goshen: and they had their possessions therein, and grew and multiplied exceedingly.
28 Moreover, Jacob lived in the land of Egypt seventeen years, so the whole age of Jacob was an hundred forty and seven years.
29 Now when the time drew near that Israel must die, he called his son Joseph, and said unto him, If I have now found grace in thy sight, (A)put thine hand now under my thigh, and deal mercifully and truly with me: bury me not, I pray thee, in Egypt.
