Genesis 47:28-30

Contemporary English Version

²⁸ Jacob himself lived there for 17 years, before dying at the age of 147. ^29 (A) When Jacob knew he did not have long to live, he called in Joseph and said, “If you really love me, you must make a solemn promise not to bury me in Egypt. ³⁰ Instead, bury me in the place where my ancestors are buried.”

“I will do what you have asked,” Joseph answered.
