Acts 7:9-16 - The Patriarchs In Egypt

⁹ The family heads were jealous of Joseph and sold him as a slave into Egypt. However, God was with him. ¹⁰ And God delivered him out of all his afflictions. He gave him favor and wisdom in the sight of Pharaoh king of Egypt. Pharaoh made him governor over Egypt and his entire house. ¹¹ A famine and great suffering came over all the land of Egypt and Canaan. Our fathers found no food. ¹² When Jacob heard there was food in Egypt, he sent our fathers on their first visit. ¹³ The second time Joseph got acquainted with his brothers and Pharaoh was told about Joseph's family. ¹⁴ Then Joseph sent for his father Jacob and all his family, seventy-five people. ¹⁵ Jacob went down into Egypt and died, he and our fathers. ¹⁶ Their bodies were brought to Shechem and laid in the tomb that Abraham bought for a sum of money from the sons of Hamor the father of Shechem.
