¹⁹ Moses took the bones of Joseph with him, for Joseph^[a] had made the sons of Israel solemnly swear, saying, ^(A)“God will surely visit you, and you shall carry up my bones with you from here.”

²⁴ And Joseph said to his brothers, “I am about to die, but ^(A)God will visit you and bring you up out of this land to the land ^(B)that he swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.” ²⁵ Then ^(C)Joseph made the sons of Israel swear, saying, “God will surely visit you, and you shall carry up my bones from here.”

^32 (A)As for the bones of Joseph, which the people of Israel brought up from Egypt, they buried them at Shechem, in the piece of land ^(B)that Jacob bought from the sons of Hamor the father of Shechem for a hundred pieces of money.^[a] It became an inheritance of the descendants of Joseph.

¹⁶ and ^(A)they were carried back to Shechem and laid in the tomb that ^(B)Abraham had bought for a sum of silver from the sons of Hamor in Shechem.

²¹ Then Israel said to Joseph, “Behold, I am about to die, but ^(A)God will be with you and will bring you again to the land of your fathers.

¹⁶ Fear seized them all, and ^(A)they glorified God, saying, ^(B)“A great prophet has arisen among us!” and ^(C)“God has visited his people!”

⁵⁸ And her neighbors and relatives heard that the Lord ^(A)had shown great mercy to her, and they rejoiced with her.

³¹ And the people ^(A)believed; and when they heard that the Lord had ^(B)visited the people of Israel and that he had ^(C)seen their affliction, ^(D)they bowed their heads and worshiped.
