9
And the patriarchs, moved with jealousy against Joseph, sold him into Egypt: and God was with him,
10
and delivered him out of all his afflictions, and gave him favor and wisdom before Pharaoh king of Egypt; and he made him governor over Egypt and all his house.
11
Now there came a famine over all Egypt and Canaan, and great affliction: and our fathers found no sustenance.
12
But when Jacob heard that there was grain in Egypt, he sent forth our fathers the first time.
13
And at the second time Joseph was made known to his brethren; and Joseph's race became manifest unto Pharaoh.
14
And Joseph sent, and called to him Jacob his father, and all his kindred, threescore and fifteen souls.
15
And Jacob went down into Egypt; and he died, himself and our fathers;
16
and they were carried over unto Shechem, and laid in the tomb that Abraham bought for a price in silver of the sons of Hamor in Shechem.
17
But as the time of the promise drew nigh which God vouchsafed unto Abraham, the people grew and multiplied in Egypt,
18
till there arose another king over Egypt, who knew not Joseph.
19
The same dealt craftily with our race, and ill-treated our fathers, that they should cast out their babes to the end they might not live.
