24And Joseph said to his brothers, “I am about to die, but aGod will visit you and bring you up out of this land to the land bthat he swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.” 25Then cJoseph made the sons of Israel swear, saying, “God will surely visit you, and you shall carry up my bones from here.”Exodus 13:19
19Moses took the bones of Joseph with him, for Joseph ▼▼Samaritan, Septuagint; Hebrew he
had made the sons of Israel solemnly swear, saying, e“God will surely visit you, and you shall carry up my bones with you from here.” Joshua 24:32
32 fAs for the bones of Joseph, which the people of Israel brought up from Egypt, they buried them at Shechem, in the piece of land gthat Jacob bought from the sons of Hamor the father of Shechem for a hundred pieces of money. ▼▼Hebrew for a hundred qesitah; a unit of money of unknown value
