22Joseph remained in Egypt, he and his father's household, and Joseph lived 110 years.

23Joseph saw Ephraim’s children to the third generation. Also, the children of Machir son of Manasseh were born on Joseph’s knees.

24And Joseph said to his brothers, “I am dying, but God will surely visit you and bring you up from this land to the land that he swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.”
