Joseph said to his brothers: “I am about to die. God will surely take care of you and lead you up from this land to the land that he promised on oath to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.”

Then, putting the sons of Israel under oath, he continued, “When God thus takes care of you, you must bring my bones up from this place.”

Joseph died at the age of a hundred and ten. He was embalmed and laid to rest in a coffin in Egypt.
