21 So therefore, do not be afraid; (A)I will provide for you and your little ones.” So he comforted them and spoke [a]kindly to them.

Death of Joseph

22 Now Joseph stayed in Egypt, he and his father’s household, and Joseph lived 110 years. 23 Joseph saw the third generation of Ephraim’s sons; also the sons of Machir, the son of Manasseh, were (B)born on Joseph’s knees. 24 Joseph said to his brothers, “(C)I am about to die, but God will assuredly [b]take care of you and bring you up from this land to the land which He [c]promised on oath to (D)Abraham, to (E)Isaac, and to (F)Jacob.” 25 Then Joseph made the sons of Israel swear, saying, “God will assuredly [d]take care of you, and (G)you shall carry my bones up from here.” 26 So Joseph died at the age of 110 years; and they (H)embalmed him and placed him in a coffin in Egypt.
