They buried him in his own tomb, which he had dug out for himself in David’s city, and laid him in the bed which was filled with sweet odors and various kinds of spices prepared by the perfumers’ art; and they made a very great fire for him.

‘ What are you doing here? Who has you here, that you have dug out a tomb here?’ Cutting himself out a tomb on high, chiseling a habitation for himself in the rock!”

and laid it in his own new tomb, which he had cut out in the rock, and he rolled a great stone against the door of the tomb, and departed.

The time came near that Israel must die, and he called his son Joseph, and said to him,“ If now I have found favor in your sight, please put your hand under my thigh, and deal kindly and truly with me. Please don’t bury me in Egypt,but when I sleep with my fathers, you shall carry me out of Egypt, and bury me in their burying place.” Joseph said,“ I will do as you have said.”Israel said,“ Swear to me,” and he swore to him. Then Israel bowed himself on the bed’s head.

Joseph said to his brothers,“ I am dying, but God will surely visit you, and bring you up out of this land to the land which he swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.”

You will eat bread by the sweat of your face until you return to the ground, for you were taken out of it. For you are dust, and you shall return to dust.”

For I know that you will bring me to death, To the house appointed for all living.

They have shed their blood like water around Jerusalem. There was no one to bury them.
