Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

²⁴And Joseph said to his brethren, I am going to die. But God will surely visit you and bring you out of this land to the land He swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob [to give you].

²⁵And Joseph took an oath from the sons of Israel, saying, God will surely visit you, and you will carry up my bones from here.

²⁶So Joseph died, being 110 years old; and they embalmed him, and he was put ^[a]in a coffin in Egypt.

Footnotes

Genesis 50:26 Joseph’s body remained in Egypt until the exodus to the promised land of Canaan about 200 years later. Its final resting-place was Shechem, near Samaria, “in the parcel of ground which Jacob bought from the sons of Hamor, the father of Shechem” (Josh. 24:32). Here each of his brothers was also buried (Acts 7:15, 16).
