Psalm 105:1-7
1 Alleluia. Confess to the Lord, and invoke his name. Announce his works among the nations. 2 Sing to him, and sing psalms to him. Describe all his wonders. 3 Be praised in his holy name. Let the heart of those who seek the Lord rejoice. 4 Seek the Lord, and be confirmed. Seek his face always. 5 Remember his miracles, which he has done, his portents and the judgments of his mouth: 6 you offspring of Abraham his servant, you sons of Jacob his elect. 7 He is the Lord our God. His judgments are throughout the entire earth. Genesis 49:29-32; 50:15-25 29 And he instructed them, saying: "I am being gathered to my people. Bury me with my fathers in the double cave, which is in the field of Ephron the Hittite, 30 opposite Mamre, in the land of Canaan, which Abraham bought, along with its field, from Ephron the Hittite, as a possession for burial. 31 There they buried him, with his wife Sarah." And there Isaac was buried with his wife Rebekah. There also Leah lies preserved. 32 And having finished these commands by which he instructed his sons, he drew his feet onto the bed, and he passed away. And he was gathered to his people. 15 Now that he was dead, his brothers were afraid, and they said to one another: "Perhaps now he may remember the injury that he suffered and requite us for all the evil that we did to him." 16 So they sent a message to him, saying: "Your father instructed us before he died, 17 that we should say these words to you from him: 'I beg you to forget the wickedness of your brothers, and the sin and malice that they practiced against you.' Likewise, we petition you to release the servants of the God of your father from this iniquity." Hearing this, Joseph wept. 18 And his brothers went to him. And reverencing prostrate on the ground, they said, "We are your servants." 19 And he answered them: "Do not be afraid. Are we able to resist the will of God? 20 You devised evil against me. But God turned it into good, so that he might exalt me, just as you presently discern, and so that he might bring about the salvation of many peoples. 21 Do not be afraid. I will pasture you and your little ones." And he consoled them, and he spoke mildly and leniently. 22 And he lived in Egypt with all his father's house; and he survived for one hundred and ten years. And he saw the sons of Ephraim to the third generation. Likewise, the sons of Machir, the son of Manasseh, were born onto Joseph's knees. 23 After these things happened, he said to his brothers: "God will visit you after my death, and he will make you ascend from this land into the land which he swore to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob." 24 And when he had made them swear and had said, "God will visit you; carry my bones with you from this place," 25 he died, having completed one hundred and ten years of his life. And having been embalmed with aromatics, he was laid to rest in a coffin in Egypt.
