[The Pentateuch]

And when the days of weeping were ended / Joseph spake unto the house of Pharaoh saying: If I have found favour in your eyes / speak unto Pharaoh and tell him / how that my father made me swear and said: lo / I dye / see that thou bury me in my grave which I have made me in the land of Canaan. Now therefore let me goo and bury my father / and than will I come again. And Pharaoh said / goo and bury thy father / according as he made the swear.

And when the dayes of wepynge were ended / Ioseph spake vnto ye 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 / ād thā will I come agayne. And Pharao sayde / goo and burye thy father / acor•ynge as he made the swere.

And Joseph went up to bury his father / and with him went all the servants of Pharaoh that were the elders of his house / and all the elders of Egypt / and all the house of Joseph and his brethren & his fathers house: only their children & their sheep and their cattle left they behind them in the land of Gosan. And there went with him also Chariots and horsemen: so that they were an exceeding great company.

And Ioseph went vp to burie his father / and with him went all the seruauntes of Pharao that were the elders of his house / ād all ye elders of Egipte / and all the house of Ioseph ād 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.
