Genesis 47:28-30

Good News Translation

²⁸ Jacob lived in Egypt seventeen years, until he was a hundred and forty-seven years old. ^29 (A)When the time drew near for him to die, he called for his son Joseph and said to him, “Place your hand between my thighs^[a] and make a solemn vow that you will not bury me in Egypt. ³⁰ I want to be buried where my fathers are; carry me out of Egypt and bury me where they are buried.”

Joseph answered, “I will do as you say.”
