Genesis 50:19-25
19But Joseph answered them, “Don’t be afraid. Am I in the place of God?
20As for you, you meant to harm me, but God intended it for a good purpose, so he could preserve the lives of many people, as you can see this day.
21So now, don’t be afraid. I will provide for you and your little children.” Then he consoled them and spoke kindly to them.
22Joseph lived in Egypt, along with his father’s family. Joseph lived 110 years.
23Joseph saw the descendants of Ephraim to the third generation. He also saw the children of Makir the son of Manasseh; they were given special inheritance rights by Joseph.
24Then Joseph said to his brothers, “I am about to die. But God will surely come to you and lead you up from this land to the land he swore on oath to give to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.”
25Joseph made the sons of Israel swear an oath. He said, “God will surely come to you. Then you must carry my bones up from this place.”
