Acts 7:9-16

9“The patriarchs became jealous of Joseph and sold him into Egypt, but God was with him

10and rescued him out of all his troubles. He gave him favor and wisdom in the sight of Pharaoh, king of Egypt, who appointed him ruler over Egypt and over his whole household.

11Now a famine and great suffering came over all of Egypt and Canaan, and our ancestors could find no food.

12When Jacob heard there was grain in Egypt, he sent our ancestors there the first time.

13The second time, Joseph revealed himself to his brothers, and Joseph’s family became known to Pharaoh.

14Joseph invited his father Jacob and all his relatives, seventy-five people in all,

15and Jacob went down to Egypt. He and our ancestors died there,

16were carried back to Shechem, and were placed in the tomb that Abraham had bought for a sum of silver from the sons of Hamor in Shechem.
