Genesis 50:24-25 - Exposition

And Joseph said unto his brethren, I die: and God (Elohim) will surely visit you ,—literally, visiting will visit you, according to his promise ( Genesis 46:4 )— and bring you out of this land unto the land which he swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob. And Joseph took an oath of the children of Israel, —as his father had done of him ( Genesis 47:31 ),— saying, God will surely visit you, and ye shall carry up my bones from hence . The writer to the Hebrews ( Genesis 11:22 ) refers to this as a signal instance of faith on the part of Joseph.
