`And He gave to him a covenant of circumcision, and so he begat Isaac, and did circumcise him on the eighth day, and Isaac [begat] Jacob, and Jacob -- the twelve patriarchs;
9
and the patriarchs, having been moved with jealousy, sold Joseph to Egypt, and God was with him,
10
and did deliver him out of all his tribulations, and gave him favour and wisdom before Pharaoh king of Egypt, and he did set him -- governor over Egypt and all his house.

`And there came a dearth upon all the land of Egypt and Canaan, and great tribulation, and our fathers were not finding sustenance,
12
and Jacob having heard that there was corn in Egypt, sent forth our fathers a first time;
13
and at the second time was Joseph made known to his brethren, and Joseph's kindred became manifest to Pharaoh,
14
and Joseph having sent, did call for his father Jacob, and all his kindred -- with seventy and five souls --
15
and Jacob went down to Egypt, and died, himself and our fathers,
16
and they were carried over into Sychem, and were laid in the tomb that Abraham bought for a price in money from the sons of Emmor, of Sychem.
