**142:3** And in the ninety-first year of the departure of the children of Israel from Egypt, they and their brethren brought up the bones of their fathers secretly in a place which is called Canaan; and they buried them in Hebron, by the feet of their fathers.

**142:4** And they returned from the land of Canaan, and dwelt in Egypt until the day of their departing from the land of Egypt.
