Genesis 50:24-26
New English Translation
24 Then Joseph said to his brothers, “I am about to die. But God will surely come to you[a] and lead you up from this land to the land he swore on oath to give[b] to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.” 25 Joseph made the sons of Israel swear an oath. He said, “God will surely come to you. Then you must carry my bones up from this place.” 26 So Joseph died at the age of 110. After[c] they embalmed him, his body[d] was placed in a coffin in Egypt.
