With faith in the fulfillment of Jehovah’s promises, 110 - year - old Joseph told his brothers: “I am dying; but God will without fail turn his attention to you, and he will certainly bring you up out of this land to the land about which he swore to Abraham, to Isaac and to Jacob. ” Joseph asked to be buried in the land of promise.
Ticēdams, ka Jehovas solījumi piepildīsies, simt desmit gadu vecais Jāzeps saviem brāļiem teica: ” Es miršu, bet Dievs raudzīdamies raudzīsies uz jums un izvedīs jūs no šīs zemes uz to zemi, kuŗu Viņš ar zvērestu ir apsolījis Ābrahāmam, Īzākam un Jēkabam, ” — un lūdza, lai viņu apglabātu apsolītajā zemē.
