And she called his name Joseph, saying, "The LORD give me yet another son."

As soon as Rachel had borne Joseph, Jacob said to Laban, "Send me away, that I may go unto mine own place and country;

And he put the maidens and their children foremost, and Lea and her children after, and Rachel and Joseph hindermost.

Lea also and her children came and did their obeisance. And last of all came Joseph and Rachel and did their obeisance.

The sons of Rachel: Joseph and Benjamin.

And these are the generations of Jacob. When Joseph was seventeen years old, he kept sheep with his brethren, and the lad was with the sons of Bilhah and of Zilpah his father's wives. And he brought unto their father an evil saying that was of them.

And Israel loved Joseph more than all his children, because he begat him in his old age, and he made him a coat of many colors.

Moreover, Joseph dreamed a dream and told it his brethren: wherefore they hated him yet the more.

and Israel said unto Joseph, "Do not thy brethren keep in Shechem? Come, that I may send thee to them." And he answered, "Here am I."

And the man said, "They are departed hence, for I heard them say, 'Let us go unto Dothan.'" Thus went Joseph after his brethren, and found them in Dothan.

And as soon as Joseph was come unto his brethren, they stripped him out of his gay coat that was upon him,

Then as the Midianites merchant men passed by, they drew Joseph out of the pit and sold him unto the Ishmaelites for twenty pieces of silver. And they brought him into Egypt.

And when Reuben came again unto the pit and found not Joseph there, he rent his clothes,

And they took Joseph's coat and killed a goat, and dipped the coat in the blood.

And he knew it, saying, "It is my son's coat: a wicked beast hath devoured him, and Joseph is rent in pieces."

Joseph was brought unto Egypt, and Potiphar - a lord of Pharaoh's, and his chief marshal, an Egyptian - bought him of the Ishmaelites which brought him thither.

And the LORD was with Joseph, and he was a lucky fellow and continued in the house of his master the Egyptian.

And as soon as he had made him ruler over his house and over all that he had, the LORD blessed this Egyptian's house for Joseph's sake, and the blessing of the LORD was upon all that he had: both in the house and also in the fields.

And therefore he left all that he had in Joseph's hand, and looked upon nothing that was with him, save only on the bread which he ate. And Joseph was a goodly person and a well favored.

And it fortuned, after this, that his master's wife cast her eyes upon Joseph and said, "Come lie with me."

And after this manner spake she to Joseph day by day; but he hearkened not unto her, to sleep near her or to be in her company.

And it fortuned about the same season, that Joseph entered into the house, to do his business: and there was none of the household by, in the house.

And he took Joseph and put him in prison: even in the place where the king's prisoners lay bound. And there continued he in prison,

but the LORD was with Joseph and showed him mercy, and got him favour in the sight of the keeper of the prison;

which committed to Joseph's hand all the prisoners that were in the prison house. And whatsoever was done there, that did he.

even in the prison where Joseph was bound.

And the chief marshal gave Joseph a charge with them, and he served them. And they continued a season in ward.

When Joseph came in unto them in the morning, and looked upon them: behold, they were sad.

They answered him, "We have dreamed a dream, and have no man to declare it." And Joseph said unto them, "Interpreting belongeth to God, but tell me yet."

And the chief butler told his dream to Joseph and said unto him, "In my dream me thought there stood a vine before me,

And Joseph said unto him, "This is the interpretation of it.

When the chief baker saw that he had well interpreted it, he said unto Joseph, "Me thought also in my dream, that I had three wicker baskets on my head.

Joseph answered, and said, "This is the interpretation thereof. The three baskets are three days,

and hanged the chief baker: even as Joseph had interpreted unto them.

Notwithstanding, the chief butler remembered not Joseph, but forgot him.

Then Pharaoh sent and called Joseph. And they made him haste out of prison. And he shaved himself and changed his raiment, and went in to Pharaoh.

And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, "I have dreamed a dream and no man can interpret it, but I have heard say of thee that as soon as thou hearest a dream, thou dost interpret it."

And Joseph answered Pharaoh, saying, "God shall give Pharaoh an answer of peace without me."

Pharaoh said unto Joseph, "In my dream, me thought I stood by a river's side,

Then Joseph said unto Pharaoh, "Both Pharaoh's dreams are one. And God doth show Pharaoh what he is about to do.

Wherefore Pharaoh said unto Joseph, "Forasmuch as God hath showed thee all this, there is no man of understanding nor of wisdom like unto thee.

And he said unto Joseph, "Behold, I have set thee over all the land of Egypt."

And he took off his ring from his finger, and put it upon Joseph's finger, and he arrayed him in raiment of byss, and put a golden chain about his neck,

And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, "I am Pharaoh; without thy will, shall no man lift up either his hand or foot in all the land of Egypt."

And he called Joseph's name Zaphenath-Paneah. And he gave him to wife Asenath the daughter of Poti-Pherah priest of On. Then went Joseph abroad in the land of Egypt.

And he was thirty years old when he stood before Pharaoh, king of Egypt. And then Joseph departed from Pharaoh, and went throughout all the land of Egypt.

And Joseph laid up corn in store, like unto the sand of the sea in multitude out of measure, until he left numbering: For it was without number.

And unto Joseph were born two sons before the years of hunger came, which Asenath the daughter of Poti-Pherah, priest of On, bare unto him.

then came the seven years of dearth, according as Joseph had said. And the dearth was in all lands: but in the land of Egypt was there yet food.

When now all the land of Egypt began to hunger, then cried the people to Pharaoh for bread. And Pharaoh said unto all Egypt, "Go unto Joseph, and what he saith to you, that do."

And when the dearth was throughout all the land, Joseph opened all that was in the cities, and sold unto the Egyptians. And hunger waxed sore in the land of Egypt.

And all countries came to Egypt, to Joseph, for to buy corn: because that the hunger was so sore in all lands.

So went Joseph's ten brethren down to buy corn in Egypt,

for Benjamin, Joseph's brother, would not Jacob send with his other brethren: for he said, "Some misfortune might happen him."

And Joseph was governor in the land, and sold corn to all the people of the land. And his brethren came, and fell flat on the ground before him.

When Joseph saw his brethren, he knew them: But made strange unto them, and spake roughly unto them saying, "Whence come ye?" And they said, "Out of the land of Canaan, to buy victuals."

Joseph knew his brethren, but they knew not him.

And Joseph remembered his dreams which he dreamed of them, and said unto them, "Ye are spies, and to see where the land is weak is your coming."

Joseph said unto them, "That is it that I said unto you, that ye are surely spies.

And Joseph said unto the third day, "This do and live, for I fear God.

They were not aware that Joseph understood them, for he spake unto them by an interpreter.

And Jacob their father said unto them, "Me have ye robbed of my children: Joseph is away, and Simeon is away, and ye will take Benjamin away. All these things fall upon me."

Thus took they the present and twice so much more money with them, and Benjamin. And rose up, went down to Egypt, and presented themself to Joseph.

When Joseph saw Benjamin with them, he said to the ruler of his house, "Bring these men home, and slay and make ready: for they shall dine with me at noon."

And the man did as Joseph bade, and brought them in to Joseph's house.

When they were brought to Joseph's house, they were afraid, and said, "Because of the money that came in our sacks' mouths at the first time, are we brought, to pick a quarrel with us and to lay something to our charge: to bring us in bondage and our asses also."

Therefore came they to the man that was the ruler over Joseph's house, and communed with him at the door,

and led them into Joseph's house, and gave them water to wash their feet, and gave their asses provender.

And they made ready their present against Joseph came at noon, for they heard say that they should dine there.

When Joseph came home, they brought the present into the house to him, which they had in their hands, and fell flat on the ground before him.

And Joseph made haste - for his heart did melt upon his brother - and sought for to weep, and entered into his chamber, for to weep there.

and put every man's money in his bag mouth, and put my silver cup in the sack's mouth of the youngest and his corn money also." And he did as Joseph had said.

And when they were out of the city and not yet far away, Joseph said unto the ruler of his house, "Up, and follow after the men and overtake them, and say unto them, 'Wherefore have ye rewarded evil for good?

And Judah and his brethren came to Joseph's house, for he was yet there, and they fell before him on the ground.

And Joseph said unto them, "What deed is this which ye have done? Wist ye not that such a man as I can prophesy?"

And Joseph could no longer refrain before all them that stood about him, but commanded that they should go all out from him, and that there should be no man with him, while he uttered himself unto his brethren.

And he said unto his brethren, "I am Joseph: doth my father yet live?" But his brethren could not answer him, for they were abashed at his presence.

And Joseph said unto his brethren, "Come near to me." And they came near. And he said, "I am Joseph your brother whom ye sold into Egypt.

Haste you and go to my father and tell him, 'This sayeth thy son Joseph: God hath made me lord over all Egypt. Come down unto me and tarry not.

And when the tidings was come unto Pharaoh's house that Joseph's brethren were come, it pleased Pharaoh well and all his servants.

And Pharaoh spake unto Joseph, "Say unto thy brethren, 'This do ye: lade your beasts and get you hence. And when ye be come unto the land of Canaan,

And the children of Israel did even so. And Joseph gave them chariots at the commandment of Pharaoh, and gave them victuals also to spend by the way.

"Joseph is yet alive and is governor over all the land of Egypt." And Jacob's heart wavered, for he believed them not.

And they told him all the words of Joseph which he had said unto them. But when he saw the chariots which Joseph had sent to carry him, then his spirits revived.

And Israel said, "I have enough, if Joseph my son be yet alive: I will go and see him, yer that I die."

I will go down with thee into Egypt, and I will also bring thee up again, and Joseph shall put his hand upon thine eyes."

The children of Rachel, Jacob's wife: Joseph and Benjamin.

And unto Joseph in the land of Egypt were borne: Manasseh and Ephraim which Asenath the daughter of Poti-Pherah priest of On bare unto him.

And the sons of Joseph, which were born him in Egypt were: two souls. So that all the souls of the house of Jacob which came into Egypt are seventy.

And he sent Judah before him unto Joseph that the way might be showed him unto Goshen, and they came into the land of Goshen.

And Joseph made ready his chariot and went to meet Israel his father unto Goshen, and presented himself unto him, and fell on his neck and wept upon his neck a good while.

And Israel said unto Joseph, "Now I am content to die, insomuch I have seen thee, that thou art yet alive."

And Joseph said unto his brethren and unto his father's house, "I will go and show Pharaoh, and tell him that my brethren and my father's house which were in the land of Canaan are come unto me,

and Joseph went and told Pharaoh, and said, "My father and my brethren, their sheep and their beasts and all that they have, are come out of the land of Canaan and are in the land of Goshen."

And Joseph took a part of his brethren: even five of them, and presented them unto Pharaoh.

And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, "Thy father and thy brethren are come unto thee.

And Joseph brought in Jacob his father and set him before Pharaoh. And Jacob blessed Pharaoh.

And Joseph prepared dwellings for his father and his brethren, and gave them possessions in the land of Egypt, in the best of the land: even in the land of Rameses, as Pharaoh commanded.

And Joseph made provision for his father, his brethren, and all his father's household, as young children are fed with bread.

And Joseph brought together all the money that was found in the land of Egypt and of Canaan, for the corn which they bought: and he laid up the money in Pharaoh's house.
