The Patriarchs in Egypt
9 "The patriarchs became jealous of Joseph and sold him into Egypt, but God was with him
10
and rescued him out of all his troubles. He gave him favor and wisdom in the sight of Pharaoh, king of Egypt, who appointed him governor over Egypt and over his whole household.
11
Then a famine came over all of Egypt and Canaan, with great suffering, and our forefathers could find no food.
12
When Jacob heard there was grain in Egypt, he sent our forefathers the first time.
13
The second time, Joseph was revealed to his brothers, and Joseph's family became known to Pharaoh.
14
Joseph then invited his father Jacob and all his relatives, 75 people in all,
15
and Jacob went down to Egypt. He and our forefathers died there,
16
were carried back to Shechem, and were placed in the tomb that Abraham had bought for a sum of silver from the sons of Hamor in Shechem.
Moses, a Rejected Savior
17 "As the time was drawing near to fulfill the promise that God had made to Abraham, the people flourished and multiplied in Egypt
18
until a different king ruled over Egypt who did not know Joseph.
19
He dealt deceitfully with our race and oppressed our forefathers by making them leave their infants outside so they wouldn't survive.
