WEB · Bible Passage

Bible Text

[19] Joseph said to them, "Don't be afraid, for am I in the place of God? [20] As for you, you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save many people alive. [21] Now therefore don't be afraid. I will nourish you and your little ones." He comforted them, and spoke kindly to them. [22] Joseph lived in Egypt, he, and his father's house. Joseph lived one hundred ten years. [23] Joseph saw Ephraim's children to the third generation. The children also of Machir, the son of Manasseh, were born on Joseph's knees. [24] Joseph said to his brothers, "I am dying, but God will surely visit you, and bring you up out of this land to the land which he swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob." [25] Joseph took an oath of the children of Israel, saying, "God will surely visit you, and you shall carry up my bones from here."
