²² By faith Joseph, at the end of his life, made mention of the exodus of the Israelites and gave instructions about his burial.^[a](A)

¹⁹ And Moses took with him the bones of Joseph, who had required a solemn oath of the Israelites, saying, “God will surely come to you, and then you must carry my bones with you from here.”^(A)

²⁴ Then Joseph said to his brothers, “I am about to die, but God will surely come to you and bring you up out of this land to the land that he swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.”^{(A) 25} So Joseph made the Israelites swear, saying, “When God comes to you, you shall carry up my bones from here.”

³² The bones of Joseph, which the Israelites had brought up from Egypt, were buried at Shechem, in the portion of ground that Jacob had bought from the children of Hamor, the father of Shechem, for one hundred pieces of money;^[a] it became an inheritance of the descendants of Joseph.^(A)

¹⁶ and their bodies^[a] were brought back to Shechem and laid in the tomb that Abraham had bought for a sum of silver from the sons of Hamor in Shechem.^(A)
