Acts 7:9-16

9Because theG3588 patriarchsG3966 were jealousG2206 of JosephG2501, they sold him as a slaveG591 intoG1519 EgyptG125. ButG2532 GodG2316 wasG1510 withG3326 himG846 10andG2532 rescuedG1807 himG846 fromG1537 allG3956 hisG846 troublesG2347. He grantedG1325 Joseph favorG5485 andG2532 wisdomG4678 in the sight ofG1726 PharaohG5328 kingG935 of EgyptG125, who appointedG2525 himG846 rulerG2233 overG1909 EgyptG125 andG2532 allG3650 hisG846 householdG3624.

11ThenG1161 famineG3042 andG2532 greatG3173 sufferingG2347 sweptG2064 acrossG1909G3650 EgyptG125 andG2532 CanaanG5477, andG2532 ourG1473 fathersG3962 could not findG3756G2147 foodG5527. 12When JacobG2384 heard thatG191 there wasG1510 grainG4621 inG1519 EgyptG125, he sentG1821 ourG1473 fathersG3962 on their firstG4412 visit. 13OnG1722 their secondG1208 visit, JosephG2501 revealed his identityG319 toG35881 hisG846 brothersG80, andG2532 his familyG1085 becameG1096 knownG5318 to PharaohG5328. 14ThenG1161 JosephG2501 sent forG649G3333 hisG846 fatherG3962 JacobG2384 andG2532 allG3956 his relativesG4772, seventy-fiveG1440G4002G5590 in allG1722.

15So JacobG2384 went downG2597 toG1519 EgyptG125, where heG846 andG2532 ourG1473 fathersG3962 diedG5053. 16Their bones were carried backG33462 toG1519 ShechemG4966 andG2532 placedG5087 inG1722 theG3588 tombG3418 thatG3739 AbrahamG11 had boughtG5608 fromG3844 theG3588 sonsG5207 of HamorG1697 atG1722 ShechemG4966 for a price he paidG5092 in silverG694.
