Genesis 50:23-25
International Standard Version
23 Joseph saw the third generation of Ephraim’s children, as well as the children who had been born to Manasseh’s son Machir, whom he adopted as his own.[a] 24 Later, Joseph told his brothers, “I’m going to die soon, but God will certainly provide for you and bring you up from this land to the land that he promised with an oath to give[b] to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.” 25 So Joseph made all of Israel’s other[c] children make this promise: “Because God is certainly going to take care of you, you are to carry my bones up from here.”
