Joseph

And the time of the mourning being expired, Joseph spoke to the family of Pharao: If I have found favour in your sight, speak in the ears of Pharao:

So he went up, and there went with him all the ancients of Pharao's house, and all the elders of the land of Egypt.

And the house of Joseph with his brethren, except their children, and their flocks and herds, which they left in the land of Gessen.

And Joseph returned into Egypt with his brethren, and all that were in his company, after he had buried his father.

Now he being dead, his brethren were afraid, and talked one with another: Lest perhaps he should remember the wrong he suffered, and requite us all the evil that we did to him.

And they sent a message to him, saying: Thy father commanded us before he died,

That we should say thus much to thee from him: I beseech thee to forget the wickedness of thy brethren, and the sin and malice they practised against thee: we also pray thee, to forgive the servants of the God of thy father this wickedness. And when Joseph heard this, he wept.

And he answered them: Fear not: can we resist the will of God?

And he dwelt in Egypt with all his father's house; and lived a hundred and ten years. And he saw the children of Ephraim to the third generation. The children also of Machir, the sons of Manasses, were born on Joseph's knees.

After which he told his brethren: God will visit you after my death, and will make you go up out of this land, to the land which he swore to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

And he made them swear to him, saying: God will visit you, carry my bones with you out of this place:

And he died, being a hundred and ten years old. And being embalmed, he was laid in a coffin in Egypt.

So Joseph died, being an hundred and ten years old: and they embalmed him, and he was put in a coffin in Egypt.

And all the souls that came out of Jacob's thigh, were seventy: but Joseph was in Egypt.

After he was dead, and all his brethren, and all that generation,

In the mean time there arose a new king over Egypt, that knew not Joseph:

And Moses took Joseph's bones with him: because he had adjured the children of Israel, saying: God shall visit you, carry out my bones from hence with you.

And of the sons of Joseph: of Ephraim, Elisama the son of Ammiud: of Manasses, Gamaliel the son of Phadassur.

Of the sons of Joseph, namely, of the sons of Ephraim, by the generations and families and houses of their kindreds, were reckoned up by the names of every one, from twenty years old and upward, all that were able to go forth to war,

Of the tribe of Zabulon, Geddiel the son of Sodi.

The sons of Joseph by their kindred, Manasses and Ephraim.

These are the kindreds of the sons of Ephraim: whose number was thirty-two thousand five hundred.

Then came the daughters of Salphaad, the son of Hepher, the son of Galaad, the son of Machir, the son of Manasses, who was the son of Joseph: and their names are Maala, and Noa, and Hegla, and Melcha, and Thersa.

Moses therefore gave to the children of Gad and of Ruben, and to the half tribe of Manasses the son of Joseph, the kingdom of Sehon king of the Amorrhites, and the kingdom of Og king of Basan, and their land and the cities thereof round about.

Of the children of Joseph of the tribe of Manasses, Hanniel the son of Ephod.
