Acts 7:9-16 - The Patriarchs In Egypt
9 Out of jealousy the patriarchs sold Joseph into Egypt; but God was with him, 10 rescuing him from all his troubles and allowing him to find favour for his wisdom with Pharaoh king of Egypt, who appointed him viceroy over Egypt and over all his own household. 11 Now a famine came over the whole of Egypt and Canaan, attended with great misery, so that our ancestors could not find provender. 12 But, hearing there was food in Egypt, Jacob sent our ancestors on their first visit to that country; 13 at their second visit Joseph made himself known to his brothers, and Pharaoh was informed of Joseph's lineage. 14 Then Joseph sent for his father Jacob and all his kinsfolk, amounting to seventy-five souls; 15 and Jacob went south to Egypt. When he and our ancestors died, 16 they were carried across to Shechem and laid in the tomb which Abraham had bought for a sum of money from the sons of Hamor in Shechem.
