18 His brothers also came to him, bowed down before him, and said, “We are your slaves!” 19 But Joseph (YHWH has added) replied, “Do not be afraid. Am I in the place of God {Elohim}? 20 As for you⁺, what you⁺ intended against me for evil, God {Elohim} intended for good, in order to accomplish a day like this—to preserve the lives of many people. 21 Therefore do not be afraid. I will provide for you⁺ and your⁺ little ones.” So Joseph reassured his brothers and spoke kindly to them. 22 Now Joseph (YHWH has added) and his father’s household remained in Egypt (land of bondage), and Joseph lived to the age of 110. 23 He (YHWH has added) saw Ephraim’s (doubly fruitful) sons to the third generation, and indeed the sons of Machir (sold) son of Manasseh (causing to forget) were brought up (were born) on Joseph’s knees. 24 Then Joseph (YHWH has added) said to his brothers, “I am about to die, but God {Elohim} will surely visit you⁺ and bring you⁺ up from this land to the land He promised on oath to Abraham (father of many), Isaac (he laughs), and Jacob (he grasps the heel).” 25 And Joseph (YHWH has added) made the sons of Israel (he wrestles with God) take an oath and said, “God {Elohim} will surely attend to you⁺, and then you⁺ must carry my bones up from this place.” 26 So Joseph (YHWH has added) died at the age of 110. And they embalmed his body and placed it in a coffin in Egypt (land of bondage). Genesis 50:18-26, Berean Annotated Bible. Public domain.
