The closing pasukim of sefer Bereishis tell us of the nal moments, and words, of righteous Yosef: ,‫הָאֶָרץ הַּזֹאת‬-‫ וְהֶעֱלָה אֶתְכֶם מִן‬,‫ אָנֹכִי מֵת; וֵאֹלֹקים ּפָֹקד יִפְֹקד אֶתְכֶם‬,‫אֶחָיו‬-‫וַּיֹאמֶר יֹוסֵף אֶל‬ ‫הָאֶָרץ אֲׁשֶר נִׁשְּבַע לְאַבְָרהָם לְיִצְחָק ּולְיַעֲֹקב‬-‫ אֶל‬- And Yosef said to his brothers: I am going to die; G-d will surely remember you and take you up out of this land to the land that He swore to Avraham, to Yitzchak, and to Yakov; ,‫ ּפָֹקד יִפְֹקד אֹלֹקים אֶתְכֶם‬:‫ּבְנֵי יִׂשְָראֵל לֵאמֹר‬-‫ אֶת‬,‫וַּיַׁשְּבַע יֹוסֵף‬ ‫עַצְמֹתַי מִּזֶה‬-‫ וְהַעֲלִתֶם אֶת‬- And Yosef adjured the children of Israel, saying: G-d will surely remember you, and you shall take up my bones out of here; ;‫מֵאָה וָעֶׂשֶר ׁשָנִים‬-‫ ּבֶן‬,‫וַּיָמָת יֹוסֵף‬ ‫ וַּיִיׂשֶם ּבָאָרֹון ּבְמִצְָריִם‬,‫ וַּיַחַנְטּו אֹתֹו‬- And Yosef died at the age of one hundred ten years, and they embalmed him and he was placed into the cof n in Egypt (Bereishis 50:24-26). After a tumultuous, albeit successful, life - losing his mother as a young boy of 8 or 9 years old, being hated and rejected by his brothers, being sold by them at the age of seventeen, bought by Potiphar, Chief Executioner of Egypt, surviving the rst blood libel in history by Eishes Potiphar, spending twelve years in prison, and ultimately becoming viceroy at age thirty and ruling until his death at 110 years - Yosef ha’tzadik, Yosef the righteous (Yoma 35a), dies. On his deathbed, Yosef imparted two nal messages to the Bnei Yisrael: (I) geula - redemption - would surely come as G-d will surely remember them and (II) his place - and their place (and our place!) - is not in foreign lands, but in the land of our Avos and Imahos, the land of HKB”H (Devarim 11:12), the land of Eretz Yisrael. This dual legacy - which is really one, for when redemption comes, we will all be worthy to merit a redeemed and rebuilt Tzion v’Yerushalayim - is made even greater by the fact that Yosef did not merit geula during his dif cult lifetime, nor did he merit to live, die or be buried (in a timely fashion) in Eretz Yisrael.
