50:1

Joseph fell on his father's face. He wept there and kissed [his father]. 
Vayipol Yosef al-peney aviv vayevk alav vayishak-lo.

אוַיִּפֹּ֥ל יוֹסֵ֖ף עַל־פְּנֵ֣י אָבִ֑יו וַיֵּ֥בְךְּ עָלָ֖יו וַיִּשַּׁק־לֽוֹ:

50:2

Joseph then ordered his servants, the physicians, to embalmhis father. The physicians thus embalmed Israel. 
Vayetsav Yosef et-avadav et-harofim lachanot et-aviv vayachantu harof'im et-Yisra'el.

בוַיְצַ֨ו יוֹסֵ֤ף אֶת־עֲבָדָיו֙ אֶת־הָרֹ֣פְאִ֔ים לַֽחֲנֹ֖ט אֶת־אָבִ֑יו וַיַּֽחַנְט֥וּ הָרֹֽפְאִ֖ים אֶת־יִשְׂרָאֵֽל:

50:3

It took forty days, since that was the time required for embalming. Egypt mourned [Jacob] for seventy days. 
Vayimle'u-lo arba'im yom ki ken yimle'u yemey hachanutim vayivku oto Mitsrayim shiv'im yom.

גוַיִּמְלְאוּ־לוֹ֙ אַרְבָּעִ֣ים י֔וֹם כִּ֛י כֵּ֥ן יִמְלְא֖וּ יְמֵ֣י הַֽחֲנֻטִ֑ים וַיִּבְכּ֥וּ אֹת֛וֹ מִצְרַ֖יִם שִׁבְעִ֥ים יֽוֹם:

50:4

When the period of mourning of Jacob was over, Joseph addressed Pharaoh's court and said, 'If you would do me a favor, give the following personal message to Pharaoh: 
Vaya'avru yemey vechito vayedaber Yosef el-beyt Par'oh lemor im-na matsati chen be'eyneychem daberu-na be'ozney Far'oh lemor.

דוַיַּֽעַבְרוּ֙ יְמֵ֣י בְכִית֔וֹ וַיְדַבֵּ֣ר יוֹסֵ֔ף אֶל־בֵּ֥ית פַּרְעֹ֖ה לֵאמֹ֑ר אִם־נָ֨א מָצָ֤אתִי חֵן֙ בְּעֵ֣ינֵיכֶ֔ם דַּבְּרוּ־נָ֕א בְּאָזְנֵ֥י פַרְעֹ֖ה לֵאמֹֽר:

50:5

'My father bound me by an oath and he declared, 'I am dying. You must bury me in the grave that I prepared for myself in the land of Canaan.' Now, if you allow me, I will head north and bury my father. I will return.' ' 
Avi hishbi'ani lemor hineh anochi met bekivri asher kariti li be'erets Kena'an shamah tikbereni ve'atah e'eleh-na ve'ekberah et-avi ve'ashuvah.

50:6

'Go bury your father,' said Pharaoh, 'just as he had you swear.' 
Vayomer Par'oh aleh ukvor et-avicha ka'asher hishbi'echa.

ווַיֹּ֖אמֶר פַּרְעֹ֑ה עֲלֵ֛ה וּקְבֹ֥ר אֶת־אָבִ֖יךָ כַּֽאֲשֶׁ֥ר הִשְׁבִּיעֶֽךָ:

50:7

Joseph headed north to bury his father, and with him went all of Pharaoh's courtiers who were his palace elders, as well as all the [other] elders of Egypt. 
Vaya'al Yosef likbor et-aviv vaya'alu ito kol-avdey Far'oh zikney veyto vechol-zikney erets-Mitsrayim.

50:8

All of Joseph's household, his brothers, and his father's family [also went]. All they left behind in Goshen were their small children, their sheep and their cattle. 
Vechol beyt Yosef ve'echav uveyt aviv rak tapam vetsonam uvekaram azvu be'erets Goshen.

50:9

A chariot brigade and horsemen also went with them. It was a very imposing retinue. 
Vaya'al imo gam-rechev gam-parashim vayehi hamachaneh kaved me'od.

טוַיַּ֣עַל עִמּ֔וֹ גַּם־רֶ֖כֶב גַּם־פָּֽרָשִׁ֑ים וַיְהִ֥י הַמַּֽחֲנֶ֖ה כָּבֵ֥ד מְאֹֽד:

50:10

They came to Bramble Barn (Goren HaAtad) on the bank of the Jordan, and there they conducted a great, imposing funeral. [Joseph] observed a seven day mourning period for his father. 
Vayavo'u ad-Goren ha'Atad asher be'ever haYarden vayispedu sham misped gadol vechaved me'od vaya'as le'aviv evel shiv'at yamim.

יוַיָּבֹ֜אוּ עַד־גֹּ֣רֶן הָֽאָטָ֗ד אֲשֶׁר֙ בְּעֵ֣בֶר הַיַּרְדֵּ֔ן וַיִּ֨סְפְּדוּ־שָׁ֔ם מִסְפֵּ֛ד גָּד֥וֹל וְכָבֵ֖ד מְאֹ֑ד וַיַּ֧עַשׂ לְאָבִ֛יו אֵ֖בֶל שִׁבְעַ֥ת יָמִֽים:

50:11

When the Canaanites living in the area saw the mourning in Bramble Barn, they said, 'Egypt is in deep mourning here.' The place on the bank of the Jordan was therefore called Egypt's Mourning (Avel Mitzraim). 
Vayar yoshev ha'arets haKna'ani et-ha'evel beGoren ha'Atad vayomru evel-kaved zeh le-Mitsrayim al-ken kara shemah avel Mitsrayim asher be'ever haYarden.

50:12

[Jacob's] sons did as he had instructed them. 
Vaya'asu vanav lo ken ka'asher tsivam.

יבוַיַּֽעֲשׂ֥וּ בָנָ֖יו ל֑וֹ כֵּ֖ן כַּֽאֲשֶׁ֥ר צִוָּֽם:

50:13

His sons carried him to Canaan, and they buried him in the cave of Makhpelah Field, bordering Mamre. [This is] the field that Abraham bought for burial property from Ephron the Hittite. 
Vayis'u oto vanav artsah Kena'an vayikberu oto bimearat sdeh haMachpelah asher kanah Avraham et-hasadeh la'achuzat-kever me'et Efron haChiti al-peney Mamre.

50:14

After he buried his father, Joseph returned to Egypt along with his brothers and all those who went with him to his father's burial. 
Vayashov Yosef Mitsraymah hu ve'echav vechol-ha'olim ito likbor et-aviv acharey kovro et-aviv.

50:15

Joseph's brothers began to realize [the implications] of their father's death. 'What if Joseph is still holding a grudge against us?' they said. 'He is likely to pay us back for all the evil we did him.' 
Vayir'u achey-Yosef ki-met avihem vayomru lu yistemenu Yosef vehashev yashiv lanu et kol-hara'ah asher gamalnu oto.

50:16

They instructed [messengers] to tell Joseph: 'Before he died, your father gave us final instructions. He said, 
Vayetsavu el-Yosef lemor avicha tsivah lifney moto lemor.

טזוַיְצַוּ֕וּ אֶל־יוֹסֵ֖ף לֵאמֹ֑ר אָבִ֣יךָ צִוָּ֔ה לִפְנֵ֥י מוֹת֖וֹ לֵאמֹֽר:

50:17

'This is what you must say to Joseph: Forgive the spiteful deed and the sin your brothers committed when they did evil to you.' Now forgive the spiteful deed that [we], the servants of your father's God, have done.'

As [the messengers] spoke to him, Joseph wept. 
Koh-tomru le-Yosef ana sa na pesha acheycha vechatatam ki-ra'ah gemalucha ve'atah sa na lefesha avdey Elohey avicha vayevk Yosef bedabram elav.

50:18

His brothers then came and threw themselves at his feet. 'Here!' they said, 'We are your slaves!' 
Vayelchu gam-echav vayiplu lefanav vayomeru hinenu lecha la'avadim.

'Don't be afraid,' said Joseph to them. 'Shall I then take God's place?

50:20

You might have meant to do me harm [but] God made it come out good. [He made] it come out as it actually did, where the life of a great nation has been preserved. 
Ve'atem chashavtem alay ra'ah Elohim chashavah letovah lema'an asoh kayom hazeh lehachayot am-rav.
