At sinabi ni Moises sa Panginoon, Tingnan mo, iyong sinasabi sa akin: Isampa mo ang bayang ito: at hindi mo ipinakilala sa akin kung sino yaong susuguin mo na kasama ko. Gayon ma'y iyong sinabi, Aking nakikilala ka sa pangalan, at ikaw rin naman ay nakasumpong ng biyaya sa aking paningin.
1
At yumakap si Jose sa mukha ng kaniyang ama, at umiyak sa ibabaw niya, at hinalikan niya siya.
2
At iniutos ni Jose sa kaniyang mga lingkod na manggagamot, na embalsamahin ang kaniyang ama: at inembalsama ng mga manggagamot si Israel.
3
At apat na pung araw ang ginanap sa kaniya; sapagka't gayon ginaganap ang mga araw ng pagembalsama; at tinangisan siya ng mga Egipcio ng pitong pung araw.
4
At nang makaraan ang mga araw ng pagiyak sa kaniya ay nagsalita si Jose sa sangbahayan ni Faraon, na sinasabi, Kung ngayo'y nakasumpong ako ng biyaya sa inyong mga mata ay salitain ninyo, isinasamo ko sa inyo, sa mga pakinig ni Faraon, na inyong sabihin,
5
Pinanumpa ako ng ama ko, na sinasabi, Narito, ako'y namamatay: sa libingan na aking hinukay sa akin sa lupain ng Canaan, ay doon mo ako ililibing. Ngayon nga'y pahintulutan ninyo akong umahon, isinasamo ko sa inyo, at aking ilibing ang aking ama, at babalik uli ako.
6
At sinabi ni Faraon, Umahon ka, at ilibing mo ang iyong ama, ayon sa kaniyang ipinasumpa sa iyo.
7
At umahon si Jose upang ilibing ang kaniyang ama: at kasama niyang umahon ang lahat ng lingkod ni Faraon, ang mga matanda sa kaniyang sangbahayan, at ang lahat na matanda sa lupain ng Egipto;
8
At ang buong sangbahayan ni Jose, at ang kaniyang mga kapatid, at ang sangbahayan ng kaniyang ama: ang kanila lamang mga bata, at ang kanilang mga kawan, at ang kanilang bakahan, ang iniwan nila sa lupain ng Gosen.
9
At umahong kasama niya ang mga karro at mga nangangabayo: at yao'y naging totoong malaking pulutong.
10
At sila'y dumating sa giikan ni Atad, na nasa dako pa roon ng Jordan, at doo'y nanaghoy sila ng malakas at kapaitpait na panaghoy: at kaniyang pinanangisan ang kaniyang ama na pitong araw.
11
At nang makita ng mga nananahan sa lupaing yaon, ng mga Cananeo, ang panaghoy sa giikan ni Atad, ay kanilang sinabi, Ito'y isang kahambalhambal na panaghoy ng mga Egipcio kaya't ang pangalang itinawag ay Abel-mizraim, nasa dako pa roon ng Jordan.
12
At ginawa sa kaniya ng kaniyang mga anak ang ayon sa iniutos sa kanila.
13
Sapagka't dinala siya ng kaniyang mga anak sa lupain ng Canaan, at inilibing siya sa yungib ng Machpela, na binili ni Abraham sangpu ng parang na pinakaaring libingan, kay Ephron na Hetheo, sa tapat ng Mamre.
14
At bumalik si Jose sa Egipto, siya, at ang kaniyang mga kapatid, at ang lahat na umahong kasama niya sa paglilibing sa kaniyang ama, pagkatapos na mailibing ang kaniyang ama.
15
At nang makita ng mga kapatid ni Jose, na ang kanilang ama'y namatay, ay kanilang sinabi, Marahil si Jose ay mapopoot sa atin, at lubos na gagantihin sa atin ang buong kasamaan na ating ginawa sa kaniya.
16
At ipinasabi nila kay Jose, Iniutos ng iyong ama bago namatay, na sinasabi,
17
Ganito sasabihin ninyo kay Jose. Ipatawad mo, isinasamo ko sa iyo ngayon, ang pagsalangsang ng iyong mga kapatid, at ang kanilang kasalanan; at ngayon, ay aming isinasamo sa iyo, na ipatawad mo ang mga pagsalangsang ng mga lingkod ng Dios ng iyong ama. At si Jose ay umiyak ng kanilang salitain sa kaniya.
18
At naparoon ang kaniyang mga kapatid naman at nagpatirapa sa harap niya; at kanilang sinabi, Narito, kaming iyong mga lingkod.
19
At sinabi ni Jose sa kanila, Huwag kayong matakot, sapagka't nasa kalagayan ba ako ng Dios?
20
At tungkol sa inyo ay inyong ipinalagay na kasamaan laban sa akin; nguni't ipinalagay ng Dios na kabutihan upang mangyari ang gaya sa araw na ito, na iligtas ang buhay ng maraming tao.
21
Kaya nga huwag kayong matakot: aking pakakanin kayo at ang inyong mga bata. At kaniyang inaliw sila at kaniyang pinagsalitaan sila na may kagandahang loob.
22
At si Jose ay tumahan sa Egipto, siya at ang sangbahayan ng kaniyang ama: at si Jose ay nabuhay na isang daan at sangpung taon.
23
At nakita ni Jose ang mga anak ni Ephraim hanggang sa ikatlong salin ng lahi; ang mga anak man ni Machir na anak ni Manases ay ipinanganak sa mga tuhod ni Jose.
24
At sinabi ni Jose sa kaniyang mga kapatid: Ako'y namamatay: nguni't tunay na dadalawin kayo ng Dios, at dadalhin kayo mula sa lupaing ito hanggang sa lupain na kaniyang isinumpa kay Abraham, kay Isaac at kay Jacob.
25
At ipinasumpa ni Jose sa mga anak ni Israel, na sinasabi, Tunay na dadalawin kayo ng Dios, at inyong iaahon ang aking mga buto mula rito.
26
Sa gayo'y namatay si Jose na may isang daan at sangpung taon: at kanilang inembalsama siya, at siya'y inilagay sa isang kabaong sa Egipto.
6. To the above let me add here some passages that speak more openly of the Lord’s advent:
...the Lord Himself gives you a sign: Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a Son, and shall call His name “God-with-us.” (Isaiah 7:14, cf. Matthew 1:22-23)
...unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given; the government will be upon His shoulder. And He will call His name Wonderful, Counselor, God, Hero, Father of Eternity, Prince of Peace.

(Isaiah 9:6-7)
There shall come forth a rod from the stem of Jesse, and a shoot from his roots shall bear fruit. The spirit of Jehovah shall rest upon Him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might.... Righteousness shall be the girdle of His loins, and truth the girdle of His thighs.... It shall come to pass in that day that the gentiles shall seek the root of Jesse, who shall stand as a banner to the people; and His resting place shall be glorious. (Isaiah 11:1-2, 5, 10)
Send the lamb to the ruler of the land, from Petra toward the wilderness, to the mountain of the daughter of Zion.... By mercy the throne has been made secure; and One sits upon it in truth, in the tabernacle of David, judging and seeking justice and hastening righteousness. (Isaiah 16:1, 5)
It will be said in that day: “Behold, this is our God; we have waited for Him to save us. This is Jehovah, whom we have waited for; we will rejoice and be glad in His salvation.” (Isaiah 25:9)
The voice of one crying in the wilderness: “Prepare the way of Jehovah; make plain in the solitude a highway for our God.... The glory of Jehovah shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together.... Behold, the Lord Jehovih shall come in strength, and His arm shall rule for Him; behold, His reward is with Him.... He will feed His flock like a shepherd. (Isaiah 40:3, 5, 10-11)
My elect one, in whom My soul has good pleasure.... I, Jehovah, have called You in righteousness, and...I will...give You as a covenant to the people, as a light to the gentiles, to open blind eyes, to bring out the bound from prison, those who sit in darkness from the prison house. I am Jehovah, that is My name; My glory I do not give to another.... (Isaiah 42:1, 6-8)
Who has believed our word? and on whom has the arm of Jehovah been revealed? ...He has no form...; we have seen Him, but there is no beauty.... ...He bore our infirmities and carried our sorrows. (Isaiah 53:1-2, 4-12)
Who is this who comes from Edom, with red dyed garments from Bozrah..., traveling in the greatness of His strength? “I who speak in righteousness, great to save.... For the day of vengeance is in My heart, and the year of My redeemed has come....” ...So He became their Savior. (Isaiah 63:1-8)
[2] Behold, the days are coming...when I will raise up to David an offshoot of righteousness, who shall reign as king and prosper, and bring about judgment and righteousness on the earth.... And this is His name that people will call Him, Jehovah Our Righteousness. (Jeremiah 23:5-6, cf. 33:15-16)
Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion! Sound the trumpet, O daughter of Jerusalem! Behold, your King is coming to you; He is just and saved.... He shall speak peace to the nations; His dominion shall be from sea to sea, and from the river to the ends of the earth. (Zechariah 9:9-10)
Rejoice and be glad, O daughter of Zion! ...behold, I am coming, to dwell in your midst.... Many nations shall cleave to Jehovah in that day, and they shall become My people. (Zechariah 2:10-11)
You, Bethlehem Ephratah, little it is that you are among the thousands of Judah; out of you shall come forth to Me the One who will be ruler in Israel, and whose goings forth are from of old, from days of eternity.... He shall stand and feed His flock in the strength of Jehovah.... (Micah 5:2, 4)
Behold, I am sending My angel, who will prepare the way before Me. And the Lord, whom you seek, will suddenly come to His temple, and the angel of the covenant, whom you have longed for, behold he is coming.... Who can endure the day of His coming? ...Behold, I am sending you Elijah the prophet, before the coming of the great and dreadful day of Jehovah. (Malachi 3:1-2, 4:5)
I was watching...and behold, coming with the clouds of heaven was one like the Son of man.... To Him was given dominion and glory and a kingdom, and all peoples, nations, and languages will worship Him. His dominion is the dominion of an age, which will not pass away, and His kingdom one that will not perish.... And all dominions will worship Him and obey Him. (Daniel 7:13-14, 27)
Seventy weeks are decreed for your people and for your holy city, to finish the transgression..., and to seal up vision and prophet, and to anoint the holy of holies.

[3] I will set His hand upon the sea, and His right hand upon the rivers. He will cry to Me, “You are my Father, My God, and the rock of my salvation.” Also I will make him My firstborn, the highest of the kings of the earth.... His seed I will make to endure to eternity, and his throne as the days of heaven. (Psalms 89:25-27, 29)
Jehovah said to my Lord, “Sit at My right hand, till I have made Your enemies Your footstool.” Jehovah shall send the rod of Your strength out of Zion. Rule in the midst of Your enemies! ...“You are a priest to eternity, according to the order of Melchizedek.” (Psalms 110:1-2, 4, cf. Matthew 22:44, Luke 20:41-43)
I have anointed My King on Zion, My holy mountain. I will declare the decree: Jehovah has said to Me, “You are My Son, today I have begotten You. ...I will give You the nations as Your inheritance, and the ends of the earth as Your possession.... Kiss the Son, lest He be angry, lest you perish in the way.... Blessed are all those who put their trust in Him. (Psalms 2:6-8, 12)
You have made Him indeed a little less than the angels, but You have crowned Him with glory and honor. You have made Him to have dominion over the works of Your hands; You have put all things under His feet. (Psalms 8:5-6)
Remember, O Jehovah, David..., who swore to Jehovah and vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob: “If I enter into the shelter of my house, if I go up to the couch of my pallet, if I give sleep to my eyes...until I find a place for Jehovah, a dwelling place for the Mighty One of Jacob.” Behold, we heard of Him in Ephrathah; we found Him in the fields of the forest. We will enter into His dwelling place, we will bow ourselves at His footstool.... Let Your priests be clothed with righteousness, and let Your saints rejoice. (Psalms 132:1-9)
The passages cited here are but a few of them.
