In time, Joseph and all of his brothers died, ending that entire generation.
“Soon I will die,” Joseph told his brothers, “but God will surely come to help you and lead you out of this land of Egypt. He will bring you back to the land he solemnly promised to give to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.”
So Joseph died at the age of 110. The Egyptians embalmed him, and his body was placed in a coffin in Egypt.
Generations come and generations go, but the earth never changes.
After that generation died, another generation grew up who did not acknowledge the Lord or remember the mighty things he had done for Israel.
