Noah Webster's Bible 1833
| 50:1 | And Joseph fell upon his father's face, and wept upon him, and kissed him. |
| 50:2 | And Joseph commanded his servants the physicians to embalm his father: and the physicians embalmed Israel. |
| 50:3 | And forty days were fulfilled for him; (for so are fulfilled the days of those who are embalmed:) and the Egyptians mourned for him seventy days. |
| 50:4 | And when the days of his mourning were past, Joseph spoke to the house of Pharaoh, saying, If now I have found grace in your eyes, speak, I pray you, in the ears of Pharaoh, saying, |
| 50:5 | My father made me swear, saying, Lo, I die: in my grave which I have digged for me in the land of Canaan, there shalt thou bury me. Now therefore let me go, I pray thee, and bury my father, and I will come again. |
| 50:6 | And Pharaoh said, Go up, and bury thy father, according as he made thee swear. |
| 50:7 | And Joseph went up to bury his father: and with him went all the servants of Pharaoh, the elders of his house, and all the elders of the land of Egypt, |
| 50:8 | And all the house of Joseph, and his brethren, and his father's house: only their little ones, and their flocks, and their herds they left in the land of Goshen. |
| 50:9 | And there went with him both chariots and horsemen: and it was a very great company. |
| 50:10 | 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 made a mourning for his father seven days. |
| 50:11 | 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 Abel-mizraim, which is beyond Jordan. |
| 50:12 | And his sons did to him according as he commanded them: |
| 50:13 | 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 burying-place of Ephron the Hittite, before Mamre. |
| 50:14 | And Joseph returned to Egypt, he and his brethren, and all that went up with him to bury his father, after he had buried his father. |
| 50:15 | And when Joseph's brethren saw that their father was dead, they said, Joseph will perhaps hate us, and will certainly requite us all the evil which we did to him. |
| 50:16 | And they sent messengers to Joseph, saying, Thy father commanded before he died, saying, |
| 50:17 | So shall ye say to Joseph, Forgive, I pray thee now, the trespass of thy brethren, and their sin; for they did to thee evil: and now, we pray thee, forgive the trespass of the servants of the God of thy father. And Joseph wept when they spoke to him. |
| 50:18 | And his brethren also went and fell down before his face: and they said, Behold, we are thy servants. |
| 50:19 | And Joseph said to them, Fear not: for am I in the place of God? |
| 50:20 | But as for you, ye thought evil against me; but God meant it for good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save many people alive. |
| 50:21 | Now therefore fear ye not: I will nourish you, and your little ones. And he comforted them, and spoke kindly to them. |
| 50:22 | And Joseph dwelt in Egypt, he, and his father's house: and Joseph lived a hundred and ten years. |
| 50:23 | 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. |
| 50:24 | And Joseph said to his brethren, I die: and God will surely visit you, and bring you out of this land, to the land which he swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob. |
| 50:25 | 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. |
| 50:26 | So Joseph died, being a hundred and ten years old: and they embalmed him, and he was put in a coffin in Egypt. |
Noah Webster's Bible 1833
While Noah Webster, just a few years after producing his famous Dictionary of the English Language, produced his own modern translation of the English Bible in 1833; the public remained too loyal to the King James Version for Webster’s version to have much impact.
