Similarly Joseph when he in his turn came to the close of his life (τελευτῶν, from Genesis 50:16, καὶ ἐτελεύτησεν Ἰωσὴφ) made mention of the exodus of the children of Israel (“God will surely visit you and will bring you out of this land to the land concerning which God sware to our fathers,” Genesis 50:24) and gave commandment concerning his bones (“ye shall carry up my bones hence with you,” Genesis 50:25. For the fulfilment of the command see Joshua 24:32).
