Hebrews 9:17

For a testament is confirmed by the death: otherwise it is not valid as long as the testator lives.

Brethren, (I speak after the manner of men) Even when a covenant is of man, once it is confirmed, no one cancels it or adds to it.

And Israel said unto Joseph, Behold, I die; but God shall be with you and bring you again unto the land of your fathers.

Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you; not as the world gives, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

For a testament is of force after men are dead: otherwise it is of no strength at all while the testator liveth.

And Israel said unto Joseph, Behold, I die; but God shall be with you and bring you again unto the land of your fathers.

Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you; not as the world gives, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
