And Joseph made the Israelites swear an oath and said,“ God will surely come to your aid, and then you must carry my bones up from this place.”

Joseph made the Israelites promise him. He said,“ God will surely come to help you. Then you must carry my bones up from this place.”

Then Joseph made the sons of Israel swear, saying,“ God will surely visit you, and you shall carry up my bones from here.”

So Joseph made the sons of Israel take an oath:“ When God comes to your aid, you are to carry my bones up from here.”

Joseph took an oath from the children of Israel, saying,“ God will surely visit you, and you shall carry up my bones from here.”

The bones of Joseph, which the Israelites had brought along with them when they left Egypt, were buried at Shechem, in the plot of land Jacob had bought from the sons of Hamor for 100 pieces of silver. This land was located in the territory allotted to the descendants of Joseph.

Moses took the bones of Joseph with him, for Joseph had made the sons of Israel swear to do this. He said,“ God will certainly come to help you. When he does, you must take my bones with you from this place.”

It was by faith that Joseph, when he was about to die, said confidently that the people of Israel would leave Egypt. He even commanded them to take his bones with them when they left.

Their bodies were taken to Shechem and buried in the tomb Abraham had bought for a certain price from Hamor’s sons in Shechem.

As the time of his death drew near, Jacob called for his son Joseph and said to him,“ Please do me this favor. Put your hand under my thigh and swear that you will treat me with unfailing love by honoring this last request: Do not bury me in Egypt.When I die, please take my body out of Egypt and bury me with my ancestors.” So Joseph promised,“ I will do as you ask.”“ Swear that you will do it,” Jacob insisted. So Joseph gave his oath, and Jacob bowed humbly at the head of his bed.

Tell him that my father made me swear an oath. He said to me,‘ Listen, I am about to die. Take my body back to the land of Canaan, and bury me in the tomb I prepared for myself.’ So please allow me to go and bury my father. After his burial, I will return without delay.”
