And the time drew nigh that Israel must die: and he called his son Joseph, and said unto him, If now I have found grace in thy sight, put, I pray thee, thy hand under my thigh, and deal kindly and truly with me; bury me not, I pray thee, in Egypt:
Cuando llegó el tiempo en que Israel estaba a punto de morir, llamó a su hijo José y le dijo: 'Si he hallado gracia ante tus ojos, te ruego que pongas tu mano debajo de mi muslo y prometas mostrarme bondad y fidelidad. Por favor, no me sepultes en Egipto.'
Israel pidió a José que prometiera no sepultarlo en Egipto, mostrándole así bondad y fidelidad.
