New American Standard Bible (NASB)

Genesis 50
¹⁹ But Joseph said to them, "Do not be afraid, for am I in God’s place?
²⁰ As for you, you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good in order to bring about this present result, to preserve many people alive.
²¹ So therefore, do not be afraid; I will provide for you and your little ones." So he comforted them and spoke kindly to them.
²² Now Joseph stayed in Egypt, he and his father’s household, and Joseph lived one hundred and ten years.
²³ Joseph saw the third generation of Ephraim’s sons; also the sons of Machir, the son of Manasseh, were born on Joseph’s knees.
²⁴ Joseph said to his brothers, "I am about to die, but God will surely take care of you and bring you up from this land to the land which He promised on oath to Abraham, to Isaac and to Jacob."
²⁵ Then Joseph made the sons of Israel swear, saying, "God will surely take care of you, and you shall carry my bones up from here."
²⁶ So Joseph died at the age of one hundred and ten years; and he was embalmed and placed in a coffin in Egypt.
Exodus 1
¹ Now these are the names of the sons of Israel who came to Egypt with Jacob; they came each one with his household:
² Reuben, Simeon, Levi and Judah;
³ Issachar, Zebulun and Benjamin;
