^19 (A) Moses had them take the bones of Joseph, whose dying words had been, “God will come to your rescue, and when he does, be sure to take my bones with you.”

^32 (A) When the people of Israel left Egypt, they brought the bones of Joseph along with them. They took the bones to the town of Shechem and buried them in the field that Jacob had bought for 100 pieces of silver^[a] from Hamor, the founder of Shechem. The town and the field both^[b] became part of the land belonging to the descendants of Joseph.
