19 Joseph said to them, “Do not be afraid, for am I in the place of God?
20 But as for you, you intended to harm me, but God intended it for good, in order to bring it about as it is this day, to save many lives.
21 So now, do not fear. I will provide for you and your little ones.” So he comforted them and spoke kindly to them.
22 Joseph stayed in Egypt, he and his father’s household, and Joseph lived one hundred and ten years.
23 Joseph saw Ephraim’s children to the third generation. Also, the children of Makir, the son of Manasseh, were brought up on Joseph’s knees.
24 Joseph said to his brothers, “I am about to die. God will surely come to you and bring you out of this land to the land of which He swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.”
25 Then Joseph made the sons of Israel swear, saying, “God will surely visit you, and you shall carry up my bones from here.”
