Joseph Reassures His Brothers
14 After burying Jacob, Joseph returned to Egypt with his brothers and all who had accompanied him to his father’s burial. 15 But now that their father was dead, Joseph’s brothers became fearful. “Now Joseph will show his anger and pay us back for all the wrong we did to him,” they said.
16 So they sent this message to Joseph: “Before your father died, he instructed us 17 to say to you: ‘Please forgive your brothers for the great wrong they did to you—for their sin in treating you so cruelly.’ So we, the servants of the God of your father, beg you to forgive our sin.” When Joseph received the message, he broke down and wept. 18 Then his brothers came and threw themselves down before Joseph. “Look, we are your slaves!” they said.
19 But Joseph replied, “Don’t be afraid of me. Am I God, that I can punish you? 20 You intended to harm me, but God intended it all for good. He brought me to this position so I could save the lives of many people. 21 No, don’t be afraid. I will continue to take care of you and your children.” So he reassured them by speaking kindly to them.
The Death of Joseph
22 So Joseph and his brothers and their families continued to live in Egypt. Joseph lived to the age of 110. 23 He lived to see three generations of descendants of his son Ephraim, and he lived to see the birth of the children of Manasseh’s son Makir, whom he claimed as his own.[a]
24 “Soon I will die,” Joseph told his brothers, “but God will surely come to help you and lead you out of this land of Egypt. He will bring you back to the land he solemnly promised to give to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.”
25 Then Joseph made the sons of Israel swear an oath, and he said, “When God comes to help you and lead you back, you must take my bones with you.”

14 After burying his father, Joseph returned to Egypt, together with his brothers and all the others who had gone with him to bury his father.(A)
Joseph Reassures His Brothers
15 When Joseph’s brothers saw that their father was dead, they said, “What if Joseph holds a grudge(B) against us and pays us back for all the wrongs we did to him?”(C) 16 So they sent word to Joseph, saying, “Your father left these instructions(D) before he died: 17 ‘This is what you are to say to Joseph: I ask you to forgive your brothers the sins(E) and the wrongs they committed in treating you so badly.’(F) Now please forgive the sins of the servants of the God of your father.(G)” When their message came to him, Joseph wept.(H)
18 His brothers then came and threw themselves down before him.(I) “We are your slaves,”(J) they said.
19 But Joseph said to them, “Don’t be afraid. Am I in the place of God?(K) 20 You intended to harm me,(L) but God intended(M) it for good(N) to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives.(O) 21 So then, don’t be afraid. I will provide for you and your children.(P)” And he reassured them and spoke kindly(Q) to them.
The Death of Joseph
22 Joseph stayed in Egypt, along with all his father’s family. He lived a hundred and ten years(R) 23 and saw the third generation(S) of Ephraim’s(T) children.(U) Also the children of Makir(V) son of Manasseh(W) were placed at birth on Joseph’s knees.[a](X)
24 Then Joseph said to his brothers, “I am about to die.(Y) But God will surely come to your aid(Z) and take you up out of this land to the land(AA) he promised on oath to Abraham,(AB) Isaac(AC) and Jacob.”(AD) 25 And Joseph made the Israelites swear an oath(AE) and said, “God will surely come to your aid, and then you must carry my bones(AF) up from this place.”(AG)

Genesis 50:14-25
King James Version
14 And Joseph returned into Egypt, he, and his brethren, and all that went up with him to bury his father, after he had buried his father.
15 And when Joseph's brethren saw that their father was dead, they said, Joseph will peradventure hate us, and will certainly requite us all the evil which we did unto him.
16 And they sent a messenger unto Joseph, saying, Thy father did command before he died, saying,
17 So shall ye say unto Joseph, Forgive, I pray thee now, the trespass of thy brethren, and their sin; for they did unto thee evil: and now, we pray thee, forgive the trespass of the servants of the God of thy father. And Joseph wept when they spake unto him.
18 And his brethren also went and fell down before his face; and they said, Behold, we be thy servants.
19 And Joseph said unto them, Fear not: for am I in the place of God?
20 But as for you, ye thought evil against me; but God meant it unto good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save much people alive.
21 Now therefore fear ye not: I will nourish you, and your little ones. And he comforted them, and spake kindly unto them.
22 And Joseph dwelt in Egypt, he, and his father's house: and Joseph lived an hundred and ten years.
23 And Joseph saw Ephraim's children of the third generation: the children also of Machir the son of Manasseh were brought up upon Joseph's knees.
24 And Joseph said unto his brethren, I die: and God will surely visit you, and bring you out of this land unto the land which he sware to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.
25 And Joseph took an oath of the children of Israel, saying, God will surely visit you, and ye shall carry up my bones from hence.
