And Joseph, who was called by the apostles, Barnabas (which means "son of encouragement"), was a descendant of the Jewish tribe of Levi, whose family originated from [the island of] Cyprus.

But when Jacob heard that there was grain in Egypt, he sent his sons [down there] on their first trip.

On their second trip Joseph identified himself to his brothers, and Pharaoh was made aware of his origins.

And after that the people asked for a king [to rule their nation] so God gave them Saul, the son of Kish, from the [Israelite] tribe of Benjamin, who ruled as king for forty years.
