New Catholic Bible
24 Then Joseph said to his brothers, “I am about to die, but God will come to visit you and will bring you out of this land to the land that he promised with an oath to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob. 25 Joseph had the sons of Israel swear an oath saying, “God will surely come to visit you, and then you are to carry my bones away with you.”
26 Joseph died when he was one hundred and ten years old. He was embalmed and placed in a coffin in Egypt.[a]
