And he comforted them, and spoke kindly to them. 22 And Joseph dwelt in Egypt, he, and all his father's house; and Joseph lived a hundred and ten years. 23 And 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. 24 And Joseph said to his brothers, I am dying; and God will surely remember you, and bring you up out of this land to the land which he swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob. 25 And Joseph took an oath of the children of Israel, saying, God will surely remember you, and you shall carry up my bones from here with you. 26 So Joseph died, being a hundred and ten years old; and they embalmed him and put him in a coffin in Egypt.
