And the brothers, moved with envy against Joseph, gave him to the Egyptians for money: but God was with him,
10
And made him free from all his troubles, and gave him wisdom and the approval of Pharaoh, king of Egypt, who made him ruler over Egypt and all his house.
11
Now there was no food to be had in all Egypt and Canaan, and there was great trouble: and our fathers were not able to get food.
12
But Jacob, hearing that there was grain in Egypt, sent out our fathers the first time.
13
And the second time his brothers had a meeting with Joseph, and Pharaoh had knowledge of Joseph's family.
14
Then Joseph sent for Jacob his father and all his family, seventy-five persons.
15
And Jacob went down to Egypt, and came to his end there, and so did our fathers;
16
And they were taken over to Shechem, and put to rest in the place which Abraham got for a price in silver from the sons of Hamor in Shechem.
17
But when the time was near for putting into effect the undertaking which God had given to Abraham, the people were increasing in Egypt,
18
Till another king came to power, who had no knowledge of Joseph.
19
He, having evil designs against our nation, was cruel to our fathers, and they were forced to put out their young children, so that they might not go on living.
