¹³ Then the Lord said to him, “Know for certain that for four hundred years^(A) your descendants will be strangers in a country not their own and that they will be enslaved^(B) and mistreated there. ¹⁴ But I will punish the nation they serve as slaves, and afterward they will come out^(C) with great possessions.^{(D) 15} You, however, will go to your ancestors^(E) in peace and be buried at a good old age.^{(F) 16} In the fourth generation^(G) your descendants will come back here,^(H) for the sin of the Amorites^(I) has not yet reached its full measure.”

⁴ I will go down to Egypt with you, and I will surely bring you back again.^(A) And Joseph’s own hand will close your eyes.^(B)”

²⁴ Then Joseph said to his brothers, “I am about to die.^(A) But God will surely come to your aid^(B) and take you up out of this land to the land^(C) he promised on oath to Abraham,^(D) Isaac^(E) and Jacob.”^{(F) 25} And Joseph made the Israelites swear an oath^(G) and said, “God will surely come to your aid, and then you must carry my bones^(H) up from this place.”^(I)

⁶ “Therefore, say to the Israelites: ‘I am the Lord, and I will bring you out from under the yoke of the Egyptians.^(A) I will free you from being slaves to them, and I will redeem^(B) you with an outstretched arm^(C) and with mighty acts of judgment.^{(D) 7} I will take you as my own people, and I will be your God.^(E) Then you will know^(F) that I am the Lord your God, who brought you out from under the yoke of the Egyptians. ⁸ And I will bring you to the land^(G) I swore^(H) with uplifted hand^(I) to give to Abraham, to Isaac and to Jacob.^(J) I will give it to you as a possession. I am the Lord.’”^(K)

⁵¹ And on that very day the Lord brought the Israelites out of Egypt^(A) by their divisions.^(B)
