Genesis 50:24

50:24 Then Joseph said to his brothers, “I am about to die. But God will surely come to you ¹  and lead you up from this land to the land he swore on oath to give ²  to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.”

Genesis 50:26

50:26 So Joseph died at the age of 110. ³  After they embalmed him, his body ⁴  was placed in a coffin in Egypt.

[50:24]  ¹ tn The verb פָּקַד (paqad) means “to visit,” i.e., to intervene for blessing or cursing; here Joseph announces that God would come to fulfill the promises by delivering them from Egypt. The statement is emphasized by the use of the infinitive absolute with the verb: “God will surely visit you.”

[50:24]  ² tn The words “to give” are supplied in the translation for clarity and for stylistic reasons.

[50:26]  ³ tn Heb “son of a hundred and ten years.”

[50:26]  ⁴ tn Heb “he.”
