²⁵ Then ^(A)Joseph took an oath from the children of Israel, saying, “God will surely ^[a]visit you, and ^(B)you shall carry up my ^(C)bones from here.”

^32 (A)The bones of Joseph, which the children of Israel had brought up out of Egypt, they buried at Shechem, in the plot of ground ^(B)which Jacob had bought from the sons of Hamor the father of Shechem for one hundred ^[a]pieces of silver, and which had become an inheritance of the children of Joseph.

¹⁹ And Moses took the ^(A)bones of ^(B)Joseph with him, for he had placed the children of Israel under solemn oath, saying, ^(C)“God will surely ^[a]visit you, and you shall carry up my bones from here with you.”

²² By faith ^(A)Joseph, when he was dying, made mention of the departure of the children of Israel, and gave instructions concerning his bones.

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

²⁹ When the time ^(A)drew near that Israel must die, he called his son Joseph and said to him, “Now if I have found favor in your sight, please ^(B)put your hand under my thigh, and ^(C)deal kindly and truly with me. ^(D)Please do not bury me in Egypt, ³⁰ but ^(E)let me lie with my fathers; you shall carry me out of Egypt and ^(F)bury me in their burial place.”

And he said, “I will do as you have said.”

³¹ Then he said, “Swear to me.” And he swore to him. So ^(G)Israel bowed himself on the head of the bed.

^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.’ ”
