Acts 7:9-16 - The Patriarchs In Egypt

⁹ And the patriarchs, envious, sold Joseph into Egypt: yet God was with him, ¹⁰ and delivered him out of all his afflictions, and gave him favour and wisdom before Pharaoh king of Egypt; and he appointed him governor over Egypt and all his house. ¹¹ Then came a famine upon all the land of Egypt and Canaan, and great distress: and our fathers found no provisions. ¹² But when Jacob heard that there were provisions in Egypt, he sent our fathers, the first time. ¹³ And the second time Joseph was made known unto his brethren; and Joseph's family was made known unto Pharaoh. ¹⁴ Then sent Joseph, and invited his father Jacob to come to him, and all his kindred, consisting of seventy-five persons. ¹⁵ So Jacob went down into Egypt, and died, himself, and our fathers, ¹⁶ and they removed him to Sychem, and laid him in the sepulchre which Abraham had bought, at a price paid in silver, of the sons of Emmor, the father of Shechem.
