'And they came to the threshing-floor of Atad, 
.. which is beyond Jordan, 
.... and there they mourned with a great and very sore lamentation: 
..... .and he (Joseph) made a mourning for his father seven days.
And when the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites, 
.. saw the mourning in the floor of Atad, they said, 
.... "This is a grievous mourning to the Egyptians: 
...... wherefore the name of it was called Abelmizraim, 
........ which is beyond Jordan."'
(Genesis 10-11) 

Praise God!

'And his (Jacob's) sons did unto him 
.. according as he commanded them:
.... For his sons carried him into the land of Canaan, 
...... and buried him in the cave of the field of Machpelah, 
........ which Abraham bought with the field 
.......... for a possession of a buryingplace 
............ of Ephron the Hittite, 
.............. before Mamre.'
(Genesis 50:12-13)

'And Joseph returned into Egypt, 
.. he, and his brethren, 
.... and all that went up with him to bury his father, 
...... after he had buried his father.
And when Joseph's brethren saw that their father was dead, 
.. they said, "Joseph will peradventure hate us, 
.... and will certainly requite us all the evil which we did unto him."
...... And they sent a messenger unto Joseph, saying, 
"Thy father did command before he died, saying,
.. So shall ye say unto Joseph, 
.... Forgive, I pray thee now, 
...... the trespass of thy brethren, 
........ and their sin; 
.......... for they did unto thee evil: 
............ and now, we pray thee, 
.............. forgive the trespass of the servants of the God of thy father." 
And Joseph wept when they spake unto him.
And his brethren also went and fell down before his face; 
.. and they said, "Behold, we be thy servants."
And Joseph said unto them, "Fear not:
.. "for am I in the place of God?
.... But as for you, ye thought evil against me; 
...... but God meant it unto good, 
........ to bring to pass, as it is this day, 
.......... to save much people alive.
............ Now therefore fear ye not: 
.............. I will nourish you, and your little ones." 
And he comforted them, 
and spake kindly unto them.'
(Genesis 50:14-21) 

Praise God!

'And Joseph dwelt in Egypt, he, and his father's house: 
.. and Joseph lived an hundred and ten years.
.... And Joseph saw Ephraim's children of the third generation: 
...... the children also of Machir the son of Manasseh 
........ were brought up upon Joseph's knees.
And Joseph said unto his brethren, 
.. "I die: and God will surely visit you, 
.... and bring you out of this land 
...... unto the land which he sware 
........ to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.
And Joseph took an oath of the children of Israel, saying, 
.. "God will surely visit you, 
.... and ye shall carry up my bones from hence.
So Joseph died, being an hundred and ten years old:
.. and they embalmed him, 
.... and he was put in a coffin in Egypt.'
(Genesis 50:22-26)  

Praise God! 

'By faith Joseph, when he died, 
made mention of the departing of the children of Israel; 
and gave commandment concerning his bones.'
(Heb 11:22)

Yep.  Jospeh knew he would be long dead before the children were brought out of eygpt and into the promised land .

And he was LIKE , DONT EVEN LET MY DEAD OLD BONES lie in that eygpt ,  Take even my bones to the promised land .

It outta be like us ,  OH let not even one ounce of my heart be of that old world ,   FILL me full as  I await the Coming of MY LORD .  OH its time to praise the LORD again .

Israel Increases Greatly in Egypt

Now these are the names of the children of Israel,

which came into Egypt;

every man and his household came with Jacob.

Reuben, Simeon, Levi, and Judah,

Issachar, Zebulun, and Benjamin,

Dan, and Naphtali, Gad, and Asher.

And all the souls that came out of the loins of Jacob were seventy souls:

for Joseph was in Egypt already.

And Joseph died, and all his brethren,

and all that generation.

And the children of Israel were fruitful,

and increased abundantly, and multiplied,

and waxed exceeding mighty;

and the land was filled with them.

Exodus 1:1-7

Pharaoh Oppresses Israel

Now there arose up a new king over Egypt,

which knew not Joseph.

And he said unto his people,

Behold, the people of the children of Israel are more and mightier than we:

Come on, let us deal wisely with them;

lest they multiply,

and it come to pass, that,

when there falleth out any war,

they join also unto our enemies, and fight against us,

and so get them up out of the land.

Therefore they did set over them taskmasters to afflict them with their burdens.

And they built for Pharaoh treasure cities, Pithom and Raamses.

But the more they afflicted them,

the more they multiplied and grew.

And they were grieved because of the children of Israel. Exodus 1:8-12

"So the Egyptians made the children of Israel serve with rigor. And they made their lives bitter with hard bondage—in mortar, in brick, and in all manner of service in the field. All their service in which they made them serve was with rigor.

Then the king of Egypt spoke to the Hebrew midwives, of whom the name of one was Shiphrah and the name of the other Puah; and he said, “When you do the duties of a midwife for the Hebrew women, and see them on the birthstools, if it is a son, then you shall kill him; but if it is a daughter, then she shall live.” 

(Exodus 1:13-16)

"But the midwives feared God and did not do as the king of Egypt commanded them, but let the male children live. So the king of Egypt called the midwives and said to them, “Why have you done this, and let the male children live?” The midwives said to Pharaoh, “Because the Hebrew women are not like the Egyptian women, for they are vigorous and give birth before the midwife comes to them.” So God dealt well with the midwives. And the people multiplied and grew very strong. 21 And because the midwives feared God, he gave them families. 22 Then Pharaoh commanded all his people, “Every son that is born to the Hebrews you shall cast into the Nile, but you shall let every daughter live.”

(Exodus 1:17-22)
