Death of Joseph

22 Now Joseph stayed in Egypt, he and his father’s household, and Joseph lived 110 years. 23 Joseph saw the third generation of Ephraim’s sons; also the sons of Machir, the son of Manasseh, were (A)born on Joseph’s knees. 24 Joseph said to his brothers, “(B)I am about to die, but God will assuredly [a]take care of you and bring you up from this land to the land which He [b]promised on oath to (C)Abraham, to (D)Isaac, and to (E)Jacob.” 25 Then Joseph made the sons of Israel swear, saying, “God will assuredly [c]take care of you, and (F)you shall carry my bones up from here.” 26 So Joseph died at the age of 110 years; and they (G)embalmed him and placed him in a coffin in Egypt.

22 And Joseph dwelt in Egypt, he, and his father’s house: and Joseph lived a 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 born upon Joseph’s knees. 24 And Joseph said unto his brethren, I die; but God will surely visit you, and bring you up 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. 26 So Joseph died, being a hundred and ten years old: and they embalmed him, and he was put in a coffin in Egypt.
