Variantly: Joseph said to them (his brothers): My father went down (to Egypt) of his own free will and I brought him back perforce, for he beswore me to do so (viz. Genesis 50:5). I beswear you, from the place (Canaan) that you stole me, there shall you return me. And thus did they do with him, as it is written (Joshua 24:32) "And the bones of Joseph, which the children of Israel brought up (from Egypt), they buried in Shechem."
