Good News Translation

^29 (A)When the time drew near for him to die, he called for his son Joseph and said to him, “Place your hand between my thighs^[a] and make a solemn vow that you will not bury me in Egypt. ³⁰ I want to be buried where my fathers are; carry me out of Egypt and bury me where they are buried.”

Joseph answered, “I will do as you say.”

³¹ Jacob said, “Make a vow that you will.” Joseph made the vow, and Jacob gave thanks there on his bed.
