Genesis 47:29 Hebrew Israel; also in 47:31b. See note on 35:21.
called for his son Joseph and said to him, “Please do me this favor. Put your hand under my thigh and swear that you will treat me with unfailing love by honoring this last request: Do not bury me in Egypt. 30When I die, please take my body out of Egypt and bury me with my ancestors.”
So Joseph promised, “I will do as you ask.”

Genesis 47:31 Greek version reads and Israel bowed in worship as he leaned on his staff. Compare Heb 11:21.
