Moshe took the bones of Yosef with him, for he had made the children of Yisra'el swear, saying, *God will surely visit you, and you shall carry up my bones away from here with you.*
You shall answer and say before the LORD your God, A Syrian ready to perish was my father; and he went down into Egypt, and sojourned there, few in number; and he became there a nation, great, mighty, and populous.
The bones of Yosef, which the children of Yisra'el brought up out of Egypt, buried they in Shekhem, in the parcel of ground which Ya`akov bought of the sons of Chamor the father of Shekhem for a hundred pieces of money: and they became the inheritance of the children of Yosef.
