Genesis 47:29 in Context — Genesis 47

27 Israël habita dans le pays d’Égypte, dans le pays de Gosen. Ils eurent des possessions, ils furent féconds et multiplièrent beaucoup.

28 Jacob vécut dix-sept ans dans le pays d’Égypte; et les jours des années de la vie de Jacob furent de cent quarante-sept ans.

29 Lorsqu’Israël approcha du moment de sa mort, il appela son fils Joseph, et lui dit: Si j’ai trouvé grâce à tes yeux, mets, je te prie, ta main sous ma cuisse, et use envers moi de bonté et de fidélité: ne m’enterre pas en Égypte!

30 Quand je serai couché avec mes pères, tu me transporteras hors de l’Égypte, et tu m’enterreras dans leur sépulcre. Joseph répondit: Je ferai selon ta parole.

31 Jacob dit: Jure-le-moi. Et Joseph le lui jura. Puis Israël se prosterna sur le chevet de son lit.
