^4 (A)I will go down with you to Egypt, and I will also surely ^(B)bring you up again; and ^(C)Joseph ^[a]will put his hand on your eyes.”

⁸ So ^(A)I have come down to ^(B)deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them up from that land ^(C)to a good and large land, to a land ^(D)flowing with milk and honey, to the place of ^(E)the Canaanites and the Hittites and the Amorites and the Perizzites and the Hivites and the Jebusites.

Burial of Jacob

50 Then Joseph ^(A)fell on his father’s face and ^(B)wept over him, and kissed him.

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

¹⁵ Behold, ^(A)I am with you and will ^(B)keep^[a] you wherever you go, and will ^(C)bring you back to this land; for ^(D)I will not leave you ^(E)until I have done what I have spoken to you.”

The Redeemer of Israel

^5 (A)‘My father made me swear, saying, “Behold, I am dying; in my grave ^(B)which I dug for myself in the land of Canaan, there you shall bury me.” Now therefore, please let me go up and bury my father, and I will come back.’ ”

²⁴ And Joseph said to his brethren, “I am dying; but ^(A)God will surely visit you, and bring you out of this land to the land ^(B)of which He swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.” ²⁵ Then ^(C)Joseph took an oath from the children of Israel, saying, “God will surely ^[a]visit you, and ^(D)you shall carry up my ^(E)bones from here.”

¹³ For ^(A)his sons carried him to the land of Canaan, and buried him in the cave of the field of Machpelah, before Mamre, which Abraham ^(B)bought with the field from Ephron the Hittite as property for a burial place.
