Acts 7:9-16

9And the patriarchsG3966, moved with jealousy against JosephG2501, sold him into EgyptG125: and GodG2316 wasG1510 with him, 10and delivered him out of all his afflictionsG2347, and gaveG1325 him favorG5485 and wisdomG4678 before PharaohG5328 kingG935 of EgyptG125; and he made him governor over EgyptG125 and all his houseG3624. 11NowG1161 there cameG2064 a famineG3042 over all EgyptG125 and CanaanG5477, and greatG3173 afflictionG2347: and our fathersG3962 foundG2147 no sustenance. 12But when JacobG2384 heardG191 that there wasG1510 grainG4621 in EgyptG125, he sent forthG1821 our fathersG3962 the firstG4413 time. 13And at the secondG1208 timeG1208 JosephG2501 was made known to his brethren; and Joseph’s raceG1085 becameG1096 manifest unto PharaohG5328. 14And JosephG2501 sentG649, and calledG3333 to him JacobG2384 his fatherG3962, and all his kindred, threescore and fifteen soulsG5590. 15And JacobG2384 wentG2597 downG2597 into EgyptG125; and he died, himself and our fathersG3962; 16and they were carried over unto ShechemG4966, and laidG5087 in the tombG3418 that AbrahamG11 bought for a priceG5092 in silverG694 of the sonsG5207 of Hamor in ShechemG4966.
