My father made me swear, saying, Lo, I die: in my grave which I have digged for me in the land of Canaan, there shalt thou bury me. Now therefore let me go up, I pray thee, and bury my father, and I will come again.
Mi padre me hizo prometerle, diciendo: 'Mira, me estoy muriendo. Debes sepultarme en la tumba que he preparado para mí en la tierra de Canaán.' Así que ahora, por favor, déjame ir a sepultar a mi padre, y regresaré.
José pidió permiso para cumplir la promesa hecha a su padre de sepultarlo en Canaán.
📚 Contexto Histórico
In the book of Genesis, Joseph, who had risen to power in Egypt, is speaking to Pharaoh about his father Jacob's dying request to be buried in the land of Canaan, in the family tomb he had prepared. This reflects the ancient cultural emphasis on burial in ancestral lands, which was important for maintaining a connection to one's heritage and God's promises to the patriarchs. The scene occurs after Jacob's death, as Joseph seeks permission to fulfill this oath, underscoring themes of loyalty and family honor in the midst of exile.
