Genesis 50:22-26

International Children’s Bible

²² Joseph continued to live in Egypt with all his father’s family. He died when he was 110 years old. ²³ During Joseph’s life Ephraim had children and grandchildren. And Joseph’s son Manasseh had a son named Makir. Joseph accepted Makir’s children as his own.

The Death of Joseph

²⁴ Joseph said to his brothers, “I am about to die. But God will take care of you. He will lead you out of this land. He will lead you to the land he promised to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.” ²⁵ Then Joseph had the sons of Israel make a promise. He said, “Promise me that you will carry my bones with you out of Egypt.”

²⁶ Joseph died when he was 110 years old. Doctors prepared his body for burial. Then they put him in a coffin in Egypt.
