Genesis 47:27-31

27Thus Israel settled in the land of Egypt, ain the land of Goshen. bAnd they gained possessions in it, and were fruitful and multiplied greatly. 28And Jacob lived in the land of Egypt seventeen years. cSo the days of Jacob, the years of his life, were 147 years.

29And dwhen the time drew near that Israel must die, he called his son Joseph and said to him, “If now eI have found favor in your sight, fput your hand under my thigh and gpromise to deal kindly and truly with me. hDo not bury me in Egypt, 30but let me lie with my fathers. Carry me out of Egypt and ibury me in their burying place.” He answered, “I will do as you have said.” 31And he said, “Swear to me”; and he swore to him. Then jIsrael bowed himself upon the head of his bed.
