28And Jacob lived in the land of Egypt seventeen years. rSo the days of Jacob, the years of his life, were 147 years.
29And swhen the time drew near that Israel must die, he called his son Joseph and said to him, “If now tI have found favor in your sight, uput your hand under my thigh and vpromise to deal kindly and truly with me. wDo not bury me in Egypt, 30but let me lie with my fathers. Carry me out of Egypt and xbury me in their burying place.” He answered, “I will do as you have said.” 31And he said, “Swear to me”; and he swore to him. Then yIsrael bowed himself upon the head of his bed.2
