Acts 7:9-16
9“The patriarchsG3966 1becameG2206 jealousG2206 of JosephG2501 and soldG591 him into EgyptG125. Yet GodG2316 was with him, 10and rescuedG1807 him from allG3956 his afflictionsG2347, and 2grantedG1325 him favorG5485 and wisdomG4678 inG1726 theG1726 sightG1726 of PharaohG5328, kingG935 of EgyptG125, and he madeG2525 him governorG2233 overG1909 EgyptG125 and his entireG3650 householdG3624.
11“NowG1161 3a famineG3042 cameG2064 overG1909 allG3650 EgyptG125 and CanaanG5477, and greatG3173 afflictionG2347 with it, and our fathersG3962 4could findG2147 noG3756 foodG5527. 12But 5when JacobG2384 heardG191 that there was grainG4619 in EgyptG125, he sentG1821 our fathersG3962 there the firstG4413 timeG4413. 13And on the secondG1208 visit, 6JosephG2501 7madeG1107 himself knownG1107 to his brothersG80, and 8Joseph’sG2501 familyG1085 was revealedG5318 to PharaohG5328. 14ThenG2532 9JosephG2501 sentG649 word and invitedG3333 his fatherG3962 JacobG2384 and allG3956 his relativesG4772 to come to him, 10seventy-fiveG1440G4002 1112peopleG5590 in all. 15And 13JacobG2384 wentG2597 downG2597 to EgyptG125, and he and our fathersG3962 diedG5053 there. 16And they were broughtG3346 backG3346 from there to 1415ShechemG4966 and laidG5087 in the tombG3418 whichG3739 AbrahamG11 had purchasedG5608 for a sumG5092 of moneyG694 from the sonsG5207 of 16HamorG1697 in 17ShechemG4966.
