9
And the patriarchs, moved with envy, sold Joseph into Egypt: but God was with him,
10
And delivered him from all his afflictions, and gave him favor and wisdom in the sight of Pharaoh king of Egypt; and he made him governor over Egypt, and all his house.
11
Now there came a dearth over all the land of Egypt and Canaan, and great affliction; and our fathers found no sustenance.
12
But when Jacob heard that there was corn in Egypt, he sent out our fathers first.
13
And at the second [time] Joseph was made known to his brethren: and Joseph's kindred was made known to Pharaoh.
14
Then Joseph sent, and called his father Jacob to [him], and all his kindred, seventy five souls.
15
So Jacob went down into Egypt, and died, he, and our fathers,
16
And were carried over into Sychem, and laid in the sepulcher that Abraham bought for a sum of money of the sons of Emmor [the father] of Sychem.
17
But when the time of the promise drew nigh, which God had sworn to Abraham, the people grew and multiplied in Egypt,
18
Till another king arose, who knew not Joseph.
19
The same dealt subtilly with our kindred, and ill-treated our fathers, so that they cast out their young children, to the end they might not live.
