Genesis 50:18–26

18 Then his brothers also came and afell down before him and said, “Behold, we are your servants.”

19 But Joseph said to them, “Do not be afraid, for am I in God’s place?

20 “As for you, ayou meant evil against me, but God meant it for good in order to bring about 1this present result, to preserve many people alive.

21 “So therefore, do not be afraid; aI will provide for you and your little ones.” So he comforted them and spoke 1kindly to them.

Death of Joseph

22 Now Joseph stayed in Egypt, he and his father’s household, and Joseph lived one hundred and ten years.

23 Joseph saw the third generation of Ephraim’s sons; also the sons of Machir, the son of Manasseh, were aborn on Joseph’s knees.

24 Joseph said to his brothers, “aI am about to die, but God will surely 1take care of you and bring you up from this land to the land which He 2promised on oath to bAbraham, to cIsaac and to dJacob.”

25 Then Joseph made the sons of Israel swear, saying, “God will surely 1take care of you, and ayou shall carry my bones up from here.”

26 So Joseph died at the age of one hundred and ten years; and 1he was aembalmed and placed in a coffin in Egypt.
