Genesis 50:24

Then Joseph said to his brothers, “I am about to die. But God will surely come to your aid and take you up out of this land to the land he promised on oath to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.”

From Background Notes [BN] for Oct 4th & 5th written by Pastor Bob Brown:

But the great drama signaled by Joseph's life does not end. God, Israel's true hero, waits patiently for the next amazing act, which would unfold at a time when...

... "there arose a new king over Egypt, who did not know Joseph" (Exodus 1:8). That's the plain fact about human heroes: they are quickly forgotten, as Joseph would be by the royal court of Pharaoh. But God would not forget, nor would any one of his good promises to Joseph fail. And so it is with us. The life of Joseph is dedicated to his Hero, the God who was with him.

Glory to God! Amen. [BN,10]
