Acts 7:9-16 - The Patriarchs In Egypt

⁹ And the patriarchs, being envious, sold Joseph into Egypt. And God was with him, ¹⁰ and delivered him out of all his afflictions, and gave him favor and wisdom before Pharaoh king of Egypt. And he appointed him governor over Egypt and his entire house. ¹¹ Now a famine came on all Egypt and Canaan, and great affliction, and our fathers found no sustenance. ¹² But when Jacob heard of grain being in Egypt, he sent forth our fathers the first time. ¹³ And during the second time Joseph was made known to his brothers, and Joseph's race became manifest to Pharaoh. ¹⁴ And Joseph having sent forth, he summoned Jacob his father. And all his kinfolk, in souls, were seventy-five. ¹⁵ And Jacob went down into Egypt, and he perished, he and our fathers. ¹⁶ And they were carried into Shechem, and laid in the sepulcher that Abraham bought for a price of silver from the sons of Hamor of Shechem.
