9
And the patriarchs had envy to Joseph, and sold him into Egypt. And God was with him,
10
and delivered him of all his tribulations, and gave him grace and wisdom in the sight of Pharaoh, king of Egypt. And he ordained him sovereign on Egypt, and on all his house.
11
And hunger came into all Egypt, and Canaan, and great tribulation; and our fathers found not meat [and our fathers found not meats].
12
But when Jacob had heard [Forsooth when Jacob heard], that wheat was in Egypt, he sent our fathers first.
13
And in the second time Joseph was known of his brethren, and his kin was made known to Pharaoh.
14
And Joseph sent, and called Jacob, his father, and all his kindred, seventy and five men [in souls seventy and five].
15
And Jacob came down into Egypt, and was dead, he and our fathers;
16
and they were translated into Sychem, and were laid in the sepulchre, that Abraham bought by price of silver of the sons of Emmor, the son of Sychem.
17
And when the time of promise came nigh, which God had acknowledged to Abraham, the people waxed, and multiplied in Egypt,
18
till another king rose in Egypt, which knew not Joseph.
19
This beguiled our kin, and tormented our fathers, that they should put away their young children [that they should put out their young children], for they should not live.
