When Iacob had commaunded all that he wold vnto his sonnes/ he plucked vp his fete apon the bedd and dyed/ and was put vnto his people. And Ioseph fell apon his fathers face/ and wepte apon him/ and kyssed him.
And Ioseph commaunded his seruauntes that were Phisicions/ to embawme his father/ and the Physiciõs [~e]bawmed Israel .xl. dayes lõge/ for so lõge doth y^e embawminge last/ & the Egiptians bewepte him .lxx. dayes.
And when the dayes of wepynge were ended/ Ioseph spake vnto y^e house of Pharao saynge: Yf I haue founde fauoure in youre eyes/ speake vnto Pharao and tell him/ how that my father made me swere and sayde: loo/ I dye/ se that thou burye me in my graue which I haue made me in the lande of Canaan. Now therfore let me goo and burye my father/ ãd thã will I come agayne. And Pharao sayde/ goo and burye thy father/ acordynge as he made the swere.
And Ioseph went vp to burie his father/ and with him went all the seruauntes of Pharao that were the elders of his house/ ãd all y^e elders of Egipte/ and all the house of Ioseph ãd his brethern & his fathers house: only their childern & their shepe and their catell lefte they behinde them in the lande of Gosan. And there went with him also Charettes and horsemen: so that they were an exceadynge great companye.
And when they came to y^e feld of Atad beyonde Iordane/ there they made great & exceadinge sore lamentaciõ. And he morned for his father .vij. dayes. When the enhabiters of the lande the Cananytes sawe the moornynge in y^e felde of Atad/ they saide: this is a greate moornynge which the Egiptians make. Wherfore y^e name of the place is called Abel mizraim/ which place lyeth beyonde Iordane. And his sonnes dyd vnto him acordynge as he had commaunded them.
And his sonnes caried him in to the land of Canaan and buryed him in the double caue which Abrahã had boughte with the felde to be a place to burye in/ of Ephron the Hethite before Mamre. And Ioseph returned to Egipte agayne and his brethern/ and all that went vp with him to burye his father/ assone as he had buryed him.
Wh[~e] Iosephs brethern sawe that their father was deade/ they sayde: Ioseph myghte fortune to hate us and rewarde us agayne all the euell which we dyd vnto him. They dyd therfore a commaundment vnto Ioseph saynge: thy father charged before his deth saynge. This wise say vnto Ioseph/ forgeue I pray the the trespace of thy brethern & their synne/ for they rewarded the euell. Now therfore we praye the/ forgeue the trespace of the servauntes of thy fathers God. And Ioseph wepte when they spake vnto him.
