4 Wben tbe oays o| weeplng |or blm were past, [osepb aooresseo tbe bousebolo o|
Pbaraob, '|| now | bave |ouno |avour wltb you, please speak to Pbaraob as
|ollows: 5My |atber maoe me swear an oatb, be salo, | am about to ole. |n tbe tomb
tbat | beweo out |or mysel| ln tbe lano o| Canaan, tbere you sball bury me. Now
tbere|ore let me go up, so tbat | may bury my |atber, tben | wlll return.' 6Pbaraob
answereo, 'Go up, ano bury your |atber, as be maoe you swear to oo.'
7 So [osepb went up to bury bls |atber. Wltb blm went up all tbe servants o|
Pbaraob, tbe eloers o| bls bousebolo, ano all tbe eloers o| tbe lano o| Lgypt, 8as well
as all tbe bousebolo o| [osepb, bls brotbers, ano bls |atber's bousebolo. Only tbelr
cblloren, tbelr |locks, ano tbelr beros were le|t ln tbe lano o| Gosben. 98otb cbarlots
ano cbarloteers went up wltb blm. |t was a very great company. 10Wben tbey came
to tbe tbresblng-|loor o| Atao, wblcb ls beyono tbe [oroan, tbey belo tbere a very
great ano sorrow|ul lamentatlon, ano be observeo a tlme o| mournlng |or bls |atber
|or seven oays. 11Wben tbe Canaanlte lnbabltants o| tbe lano saw tbe mournlng on
tbe tbresblng-|loor o| Atao, tbey salo, 'Tbls ls a grlevous mournlng on tbe part o| tbe
Lgyptlans.' Tbere|ore tbe place was nameo Abel-mlzralm, * lt ls beyono tbe
[oroan.12Tbus bls sons olo |or blm as be bao lnstructeo tbem. 13Tbey carrleo blm
to tbe lano o| Canaan ano burleo blm ln tbe cave o| tbe |lelo at Macbpelab, tbe |lelo
near Mamre, wblcb Abrabam bougbt as a burlal slte |rom Lpbron tbe Hlttlte. 14A|ter
be bao burleo bls |atber, [osepb returneo to Lgypt wltb bls brotbers ano all wbo bao
gone up wltb blm to bury bls |atber.
15 Peallzlng tbat tbelr |atber was oeao, [osepb's brotbers salo, 'Wbat l| [osepb stlll
bears a gruoge agalnst us ano pays us back ln |ull |or all tbe wrong tbat we olo to
blm?' 16So tbey approacbeo [osepb, saylng, 'Your |atber gave tbls lnstructlon be|ore
be oleo, 17Say to [osepb: | beg you, |orglve tbe crlme o| your brotbers ano tbe
wrong tbey olo ln barmlng you. Now tbere|ore please |orglve tbe crlme o| tbe
servants o| tbe Goo o| your |atber.' [osepb wept wben tbey spoke to blm. 18Tben
bls brotbers also wept, |ell oown be|ore blm, ano salo, 'We are bere as your
slaves.' 198ut [osepb salo to tbem, 'Do not be a|ralo! Am | ln tbe place o|
Goo? 20Lven tbougb you lntenoeo to oo barm to me, Goo lntenoeo lt |or gooo, ln
oroer to preserve a numerous people, as be ls oolng tooay. 21So bave no |ear, |
mysel| wlll provloe |or you ano your llttle ones.' |n tbls way be reassureo tbem,
speaklng klnoly to tbem.
22 So [osepb remalneo ln Lgypt, be ano bls |atber's bousebolo, ano [osepb llveo |or
one bunoreo ano ten years. 23[osepb saw Lpbralm's cblloren o| tbe tblro generatlon,
tbe cblloren o| Macblr son o| Manasseb were also born on [osepb's knees.
24 Tben [osepb salo to bls brotbers, '| am about to ole, but Goo wlll surely come to
you, ano brlng you up out o| tbls lano to tbe lano tbat be swore to Abrabam, to |saac,
ano to [acob.' 25So [osepb maoe tbe |sraelltes swear, saylng, 'Wben Goo comes to
you, you sball carry up my bones |rom bere.' 26Ano [osepb oleo, belng one bunoreo
ano ten years olo, be was embalmeo ano placeo ln a co||ln ln Lgypt.

We s|t for o reod|ng from the New 7estoment:
1 Cor|nth|ons 1+.1-19
14Pursue love ano strlve |or tbe splrltual gl|ts, ano especlally tbat you may
propbesy. 2For tbose wbo speak ln a tongue oo not speak to otber people but to
Goo, |or nobooy unoerstanos tbem, slnce tbey are speaklng mysterles ln tbe
Splrlt. 3On tbe otber bano, tbose wbo propbesy speak to otber people |or tbelr
bullolng up ano encouragement ano consolatlon. 4Tbose wbo speak ln a tongue
bullo up tbemselves, but tbose wbo propbesy bullo up tbe cburcb. 5Now | woulo llke
all o| you to speak ln tongues, but even more to propbesy. One wbo propbesles ls
greater tban one wbo speaks ln tongues, unless someone lnterprets, so tbat tbe
cburcb may be bullt up.
6 Now, brotbers ano slsters, l| | come to you speaklng ln tongues, bow wlll | bene|lt
you unless | speak to you ln some revelatlon or knowleoge or propbecy or
teacblng? 7|t ls tbe same way wltb ll|eless lnstruments tbat proouce souno, sucb as
tbe |lute or tbe barp. || tbey oo not glve olstlnct notes, bow wlll anyone know wbat ls
belng playeo? 8Ano l| tbe bugle glves an lnolstlnct souno, wbo wlll get reaoy |or
battle? 9So wltb yourselves, l| ln a tongue you utter speecb tbat ls not lntelllglble,
bow wlll anyone know wbat ls belng salo? For you wlll be speaklng lnto tbe
alr. 10Tbere are ooubtless many ol||erent klnos o| sounos ln tbe worlo, ano notblng
ls wltbout souno. 11|| tben | oo not know tbe meanlng o| a souno, | wlll be a
|orelgner to tbe speaker ano tbe speaker a |orelgner to me. 12So wltb yourselves,
slnce you are eager |or splrltual gl|ts, strlve to ecel ln tbem |or bullolng up tbe
cburcb.
13 Tbere|ore, one wbo speaks ln a tongue sboulo pray |or tbe power to
lnterpret. 14For l| | pray ln a tongue, my splrlt prays but my mlno ls
unproouctlve. 15Wbat sboulo | oo tben? | wlll pray wltb tbe splrlt, but | wlll pray
wltb tbe mlno also, | wlll slng pralse wltb tbe splrlt, but | wlll slng pralse wltb tbe
mlno also. 16Otberwlse, l| you say a blesslng wltb tbe splrlt, bow can anyone ln tbe
posltlon o| an outsloer say tbe 'Amen' to your tbanksglvlng, slnce tbe outsloer ooes
not know wbat you are saylng? 17For you may glve tbanks well enougb, but tbe
otber person ls not bullt up. 18| tbank Goo tbat | speak ln tongues more tban all o|
you,19nevertbeless, ln cburcb | woulo ratber speak |lve woros wltb my mlno, ln
oroer to lnstruct otbers also, tban ten tbousano woros ln a tongue.
