33. Buried in Canaan

<p><b>Genesis 47:29-31 (ESV)&nbsp;</b>

<sup>29 </sup>&nbsp;And when the time drew near that Israel must die, he called his son Joseph and said to him, “If now I have found favor in your sight, put your hand under my thigh and promise to deal kindly and truly with me. Do not bury me in Egypt,

<sup>30 </sup>&nbsp;but let me lie with my fathers. Carry me out of Egypt and bury me in their burying place.” He answered, “I will do as you have said.”

<sup>31 </sup>&nbsp;And he said, “Swear to me”; and he swore to him. Then Israel bowed himself upon the head of his bed.</p>
