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 thà 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 Abrahà 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? 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.

And his brethern came Ãd fell before him and sayde: beholde we be thy servauntes. And Ioseph sayde vnto them: feare not/ for am not I vnder god? Ye thoughte euell vnto me: but God turned it vnto good to bringe to passe/ as it is this daye/ euen to saue moch people a lyue Feare not therfore/ for I will care for you and for youre childern/ and he spake kyndly vnto them.

Ioseph dwelt in Egipte and his fathers house also/ Ãd lyved an hundred & .x. yere. And Ioseph sawe Ephraims childern/ eu? vnto the thyrde generation. And vnto Machir the sonne of Manasses were childern borne/ & satt on Iosephs knees.

And Ioseph sayde vnto his brethern: I die
And God will suerlie vysett you and bringe you
out of this lande/ vnto the lande which he sware
vnto Abraham/ Isaac and Iacob. And Ioseph
toke an ooth of the childern of Israel Ãd
sayde: God will not fayle but vysett you/ se therfore
that ye carye my boones hence. And
so Ioseph dyed/ when he was an
hundred and .x. yere olde.
And they enbawmed him
and
put him in a chest in Egipte.
