Genesis 50:14-26

14And Joseph returned to Egypt, he, and his brethren, and all that went up with him to bury his father, after he had buried his father.

15And when Joseph’s brethren saw that their father was dead, they said, Joseph will perhaps hate us, and will certainly repay us all the evil which we did to him. 16And they sent a messenger to Joseph, saying, Thy father commanded before he died, saying,1 17So shall ye say to Joseph, Forgive, I pray thee now, the trespass of thy brethren, and their sin; for they did to thee evil: and now, we pray thee, forgive the trespass of the servants of the God of thy father. And Joseph wept when they spoke to him. 18And his brethren also went and fell down before his face; and they said, Behold, we are thy servants. 19And Joseph said to them, Fear not: for am I in the place of God? 20But as for you, ye thought evil against me; but God meant it for good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save many people alive. 21Now therefore fear ye not: I will nourish you, and your little ones. And he comforted them, and spoke kindly to them.2

22And Joseph dwelt in Egypt, he, and his father’s house: and Joseph lived an hundred and ten years. 23And Joseph saw Ephraim’s children of the third generation : the children also of Machir the son of Manasseh were brought up upon Joseph’s knees.3 24And Joseph said to his brethren, I die: and God will surely visit you, and bring you out of this land to the land which he swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob. 25And Joseph took an oath of the children of Israel, saying, God will surely visit you, and ye shall carry up my bones from here. 26So Joseph died, being an hundred and ten years old: and they embalmed him, and he was put in a coffin in Egypt.
