29 When the time adrew near that Israel must die, he called his son Joseph and said to him, “Now if I have found favor in your sight, please bput your hand under my thigh, and cdeal kindly and truly with me. dPlease do not bury me in Egypt,
30 but alet me lie with my fathers; you shall carry me out of Egypt and bbury me in their burial place.” And he said, “I will do as you have said.”
31 Then he said, “Swear to me.” And he swore to him. So aIsrael bowed himself on the head of the bed.
