A.T. Robertson Commentary Hebrews 11:22

"By faith Joseph, when his end was nigh, made mention of the departure of the children of Israel; and gave commandment concerning his bones." — Hebrews 11:22 (ASV)

When his end was nigh (τελευτων). Present active participle of τελευταω, to finish or close (Matthew 2:19), "finishing his life."

Of the departure (περ της εξοδου). Late compound for way out, exit as here, metaphorically of death as here (Luke 9:31; 2 Peter 1:15).

Concerning his bones (περ των οστεων αυτου). Uncontracted form as in Mt 23:27.
