Acts 7:9-16

Hebrew Names Version HNV

9 "The patriarchs, moved with jealousy against Yosef, sold him into Mitzrayim. God was with him,

10 and delivered him out of all his afflictions, and gave him favor and wisdom before Par`oh, king of Mitzrayim. He made him governor over Mitzrayim and all his house.

11 Now a famine came over all the land of Mitzrayim and Kana`an, and great affliction. Our fathers found no food.

12 But when Ya`akov heard that there was grain in Mitzrayim, he sent forth our fathers the first time.

13 On the second time Yosef was made known to his brothers, and Yosef's race was revealed to Par`oh.

14 Yosef sent, and summoned Ya`akov, his father, and all his relatives, seventy-five souls.

15 Ya`akov went down into Mitzrayim, and he died, himself and our fathers,

16 and they were brought back to Shekhem, and laid in the tomb that Avraham bought for a price in silver from the sons of Hamor of Shekhem.

9 “Because the patriarchs were jealous of Joseph, they sold him as a slave into Egypt. But God was with him

10 and rescued him from all his troubles. He gave Joseph wisdom and enabled him to gain the goodwill of Pharaoh king of Egypt. So Pharaoh made him ruler over Egypt and all his palace.

11 “Then a famine struck all Egypt and Canaan, bringing great suffering, and our ancestors could not find food.

12 When Jacob heard that there was grain in Egypt, he sent our forefathers on their first visit.

13 On their second visit, Joseph told his brothers who he was, and Pharaoh learned about Joseph’s family.

14 After this, Joseph sent for his father Jacob and his whole family, seventy-five in all.

15 Then Jacob went down to Egypt, where he and our ancestors died.

16 Their bodies were brought back to Shechem and placed in the tomb that Abraham had bought from the sons of Hamor at Shechem for a certain sum of money.
