After this there came a dearth in the land. And Abram went down into Egypt to sojourn there, for the dearth was sore in the land.

And when he was come nigh for to enter into Egypt, he said unto Sarai his wife, "Behold, I know that thou art a fair woman to look upon.

As soon as he came into Egypt, the Egyptians saw the woman that she was very fair.

Then Abram departed out of Egypt; both he, and his wife, and all that he had, and Lot with him unto the south.

Then Lot lift up his eyes, and beheld all the country about Jordan: that it was a plenteous country of water. For, before the LORD destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, it was round about Zoar, even as the pleasant garden of the LORD, and as the land of Egypt.

And that same day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying, "Unto thy seed will I give this land, from the river of Egypt, even unto the great river Euphrates:

And he dwelt in the wilderness of Paran. And his mother got him a wife out of the land of Egypt.

And he dwelt from Havilah unto Shur that is before Egypt, as men go toward the Assyrians. And he died in the presence of all his brethren.

Then the LORD appeared unto him and said, "Go not down into Egypt, but bide in the land which I say unto thee:

And they sat them down to eat bread. And as they lift up their eyes and looked about, there came a company of Ishmaelites from Gilead, and their camels laden with spicery, balm, and myrrh, and were going down into Egypt.

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 the Midianites sold him in Egypt unto Potiphar, a lord of Pharaoh's: and his chief marshal.

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 it chanced, after this, that the chief butler of the king of Egypt and his chief baker had offended their lord the king of Egypt.

And they dreamed, either of them, in one night: both the butler and the baker of the king of Egypt which were bound in the prison house, either of them his dream, and each man's dream of a sundry interpretation.

When the morning came, his spirit was troubled. And he sent and called for all the soothsayers of Egypt and all the wise men thereof, and told them his dream: but there was none of them that could interpret it unto Pharaoh.

And then seven other cows came up after them, poor and very evil favored and lean fleshed: so that I never saw their like, in all the land of Egypt, in evil favoredness.

"Behold, there shall come seven years of great plenteousness throughout all the land of Egypt.

And there shall arise after them seven years of hunger. So that all the plenteousness shall be forgotten in the land of Egypt. And the hunger shall consume the land:

Now therefore, let Pharaoh provide for a man of understanding and wisdom, and set him over the land of Egypt.

And let Pharaoh make officers over the land, and take up the fifth part of the land of Egypt in the seven plenteous years

and there let them keep it: that there may be food in store in the land, against the seven years of hunger which shall come in the land of Egypt, and that the land perish not through hunger."

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

and set him upon the best chariot that he had, save one. And they cried before him "Abrech!" And that Pharaoh had made him ruler over all the land of Egypt.

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 gathered up all the food of the seven plenteous years which were in the land of Egypt and put it into the cities. And he put the food of the fields that grew round about every city, even in the same.

And when the seven years of plenteousness that was in the land of Egypt were ended,

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.

When Jacob saw that there was corn to be sold in Egypt, he said unto his sons, "Why are ye negligent?

Behold, I have heard that there is corn to be sold in Egypt. Get you thither and buy us corn from thence, that we may live and not die."

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

And when they had eaten up that corn which they brought out of the land of Egypt, their father said unto them, "Go again and buy us a little food."

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.

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.

So now it was not ye that sent me hither, but God: and he hath made me father unto Pharaoh and lord over all his house, and ruler in all the land of 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.

Therefore, tell my father of all my honour which I have in Egypt and of all that ye have seen, and make haste and bring in father hither."

take your father and your households and come unto me, and I will give you the best of the land of Egypt, and ye shall eat the fat of the land.'"

And commanded also, "This do ye: take chariots with you out of the land of Egypt, for your children and for your wives: and bring your father and come.

Also, regard not your stuff, for the goods of all the land of Egypt shall be yours."

And unto his father he sent, after the same manner, ten he asses laden with goods out of Egypt, and ten she asses laden with corn, bread and meat: to serve his father by the way.

And they departed from Egypt and came into the land of Canaan unto Jacob their father, and told him, saying,

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

And he said, "I am that mighty God of thy father, fear not to go down into Egypt. For I will make of thee there a great people.

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."

And they took their cattle and the goods which they had gotten in the land of Canaan, and came into Egypt: both Jacob and all his seed with him;

his sons and his sons' sons with him, his daughters and his sons daughters and all his seed brought he with him into Egypt.

These are the names of the children of Israel which came into Egypt, both Jacob and his sons: Reuben, Jacob's first son.

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.

All the souls that came with Jacob into Egypt which came out of his loins - beside his son's wives - were all together sixty and six souls.

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.

The land of Egypt is open before thee: In the best place of the land make both thy father and thy brethren dwell. And even in the land of Goshen let them dwell. Moreover, if thou know any men of activity among them, make them rulers over my cattle."

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.

There was no bread in all the land, for the dearth was exceeding sore: so that the land of Egypt and the land of Canaan, were famished by the reason of the dearth.

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.

When money failed in the land of Egypt and of Canaan, all the Egyptians came unto Joseph and said, "Give us sustenance: wherefore sufferest thou us to die before thee? For our money is spent."

And Joseph bought all the land of Egypt for Pharaoh. For the Egyptians sold every man his land because the dearth was sore upon them: and so the land became Pharaoh's.

And he appointed the people unto the cities, from one side of Egypt unto the other:

And Joseph made it a law over the land of Egypt unto this day: that men must give Pharaoh the fifth part, except the land of the priests only, which was not bond unto Pharaoh.

And Israel dwelt in Egypt, even in the country of Goshen. And they had their possessions therein, and they grew and multiplied exceedingly.

Moreover, Jacob lived in the land of Egypt seventeen years, so that the whole age of Jacob was a hundred and forty seven years.

When the time drew nigh that Israel must die, he sent for his son Joseph and said unto him, "If I have found grace in thy sight, put thy hand under my thigh and deal mercifully and truly with me, that thou bury me not in Egypt:

but let me lie by my fathers, and carry me out of Egypt, and bury me in their burial." And he answered, "I will do as thou hast said."

Now therefore thy two sons Manasseh and Ephraim which were born unto thee before I came to thee, into Egypt, shall be mine: even as Reuben and Simeon shall they be unto me.

And Joseph went up to bury his father, and with him went all the servants of Pharaoh that were the elders of his house, and all the elders of Egypt,

And Joseph returned to Egypt again, and his brethren, and all that went up with him to bury his father, as soon as he had buried him.

Joseph dwelt in Egypt and his father's house also, and lived a hundred and ten years.

And so Joseph died, when he was a hundred and ten years old. And they embalmed him and put him in a chest in Egypt.

These are the names of the children of Israel, which came to Egypt with Jacob, every man with his household:

All the souls that came out of the loins of Jacob were seventy, and Joseph was in Egypt already.

Then there rose up a new king in Egypt which knew not Joseph.

And the king of Egypt said unto the midwives of the Hebrews' women, of which the one's name was Shiphrah and the other Puah,

Notwithstanding, the midwives feared God, and did not as the king of Egypt commanded them: but saved the men children.

Then the king of Egypt called for the midwives and said unto them, "Why have ye dealt on this manner and have saved the men children?"

And the midwives answered Pharaoh, that the Hebrews' women were not as the women of Egypt: but were sturdy women, and were delivered yer the midwives came at them.

And it chanced, in process of time, that the king of Egypt died; and the children of Israel sighed by the reason of labour, and cried.

Then the LORD said, "I have surely seen the trouble of my people which are in Egypt, and have heard their cry, which they have of their taskmasters. For I know their sorrow,

But come, I will send thee unto Pharaoh, that thou mayest bring my people the children of Israel out of Egypt."

And Moses said unto God, "What am I, to go to Pharaoh and to bring the children of Israel out of Egypt?"

And he said, "I will be with thee. And this shall be a token unto thee that I have sent thee: after that thou hast brought the people out of Egypt, ye shall serve God upon this mountain."

Go therefore and gather the elders of Israel together and say unto them, 'the LORD God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob, appeared unto me and said: I have been and seen both you and that which is done to you in Egypt.

And I have said it, that I will bring you out of the tribulation of Egypt unto the land of the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites: even a land that floweth with milk and honey.'

If it come to pass that they hear thy voice, then go, both thou and the elders of Israel unto the king of Egypt, and say unto him, 'The LORD God of the Hebrews hath met with us: Let us go therefore three days' journey into the wilderness, that we may sacrifice unto the LORD our God.'

Notwithstanding, I am sure that the king of Egypt will not let you go, except it be with a mighty hand:

yea and I will therefore stretch out mine hand, and smite Egypt with all my wonders which I will do therein. And after that he will let you go.

And Moses went and returned to Jethro his father-in-law again, and said unto him, "Let me go, I pray thee, and turn again unto my brethren which are in Egypt, that I may see whether they be yet alive." And Jethro said to Moses, "Go in peace."

And the LORD said unto Moses in Midian, "Return again into Egypt for they are dead which went about to kill thee."

And Moses took his wife and his sons and put them on an ass, and went again to Egypt, and took the rod of God in his hand.

And the LORD said unto Moses, "When thou art come into Egypt again, see that thou do all the wonders before Pharaoh which I have put in thy hand: but I will harden his heart, so that he shall not let the people go.

Then said the king of Egypt unto them, "Wherefore do ye, Moses and Aaron, let the people from their work? Get you unto your labour."

Then the people scattered abroad throughout all the land of Egypt for to gather them stubble to be instead of straw.

"Go and bid Pharaoh, king of Egypt, that he let the children of Israel go out of his land."

And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron and gave them a charge unto the children of Israel and unto Pharaoh, king of Egypt: to bring the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt.

These are that Aaron and Moses to whom the LORD said, "Carry the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt, with their armies."

These are that Moses and Aaron which spake to Pharaoh, king of Egypt, that they might bring the children of Israel out of Egypt.
