When the time drew near for Israel to die, he called for his son Joseph and said to him,“ If I have found favor in your eyes, put your hand under my thigh and promise that you will show me kindness and faithfulness. Do not bury me in Egypt,but when I rest with my fathers, carry me out of Egypt and bury me where they are buried.”“ I will do as you say,” he said.“ Swear to me,” he said. Then Joseph swore to him, and Israel worshiped as he leaned on the top of his staff.

Their bodies were brought back to Shechem and placed in the tomb that Abraham had bought from the sons of Hamor at Shechem for a certain sum of money.

Then he gave them these instructions:“ I am about to be gathered to my people. Bury me with my fathers in the cave in the field of Ephron the Hittite,the cave in the field of Machpelah, near Mamre in Canaan, which Abraham bought along with the field as a burial place from Ephron the Hittite.There Abraham and his wife Sarah were buried, there Isaac and his wife Rebekah were buried, and there I buried Leah.The field and the cave in it were bought from the Hittites.”
