Joseph lives a long life, sees generations born, and makes his family promise to carry his bones to the Promised Land. Even in death, Joseph’s hope is anchored in God’s promises. His final words are a legacy of trust and expectation.

“Promise me that you will carry my bones with you when God leads you out of Egypt.” Genesis 50:25 It reads in Genesis 50:22–26 Easy: Joseph continued to live in Egypt with his father’s family. He died when he was 110 years old. During Joseph’s life Ephraim had children and grandchildren. And his son Manasseh had a son named Makir. Joseph lived to see Makir’s children.

“The Death of Joseph”

When Joseph was near death, he said to his brothers, “My time to die is almost here. But I know that God will take care of you and lead you out of this country. God will lead you to the land he promised to give Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.” Then Joseph asked his people to make a promise. Joseph said, “Promise me that you will carry my bones with you when God leads you out of Egypt.” Joseph died in Egypt when he was 110 years old. Doctors prepared his body for burial and put the body in a coffin in Egypt.

Lord God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, You, keep Your promises and You, shape our futures. Joseph trusted Your covenant even in Egypt and through his life. Help me live with faith and expectation, trusting Your Word, showing grace, and holding hope in Your eternal plan. Let my legacy reflect Your goodness, blessing future generations and sharing the assurance that You will help them. When my time ends, let it be known I lived for Your glory and believed in Your promise till the end. I thank You and praise You for giving the Holy Spirit to guide me and when I sway off track, I praise You that He brings me back to Your promise. Love You, thank You, praise You and give You all the honor and glory in Jesus Precious Name Amen and Amen.
