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
This occurs after Jacob (Israel) died in Egypt, where his family had lived for 17 years during a severe famine. Jacob had made Joseph swear to bury him not in Egypt, but back in Canaan in the family burial cave at Machpelah, where Abraham, Isaac, and their wives were buried. Joseph, as a high official in Egypt, needed Pharaoh's permission to leave the country for this burial journey.
