Bury Me Not, I Pray Thee, in Egypt — Genesis 47:27–31
And Israel dwelt in the land of Egypt, in the land of Goshen; and they gat them possessions therein, and were fruitful, and multiplied exceedingly.
And Jacob lived in the land of Egypt seventeen years: so the days of Jacob, the years of his life, were a hundred forty and seven years.

GEN 47:27–28
And the time drew near that Israel must die: and he called his son Joseph, and said unto him,
If now I have found favor in thy sight, put, I pray thee, thy hand under my thigh, and deal kindly and truly with me: bury me not, I pray thee, in Egypt; but when I sleep with my fathers, thou shalt carry me out of Egypt, and bury me in their burying-place.
And he said,
I will do as thou hast said.
And he said,
Swear unto me:
and he sware unto him. And Israel bowed himself upon the bed's head.
