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. ‡
