Acts 7:9-16

9“And the patriarchs, becoming envious, sold Joseph into Egypt. But God was with him

10and delivered him out of all his troubles, and gave him favor and wisdom in the presence of Pharaoh, king of Egypt; and he made him governor over Egypt and all his house.

11Now a famine and great trouble came over all the land of Egypt and Canaan, and our fathers found no sustenance.

12But when Jacob heard that there was grain in Egypt, he sent out our fathers first.

13And the second time Joseph was made known to his brothers, and Joseph’s family became known to the Pharaoh.

14Then Joseph sent and called his father Jacob and all his relatives to him, seventy-five people.

15So Jacob went down to Egypt; and he died, he and our fathers.

16And they were carried back to Shechem and laid in the tomb that Abraham bought for a sum of money from the sons of Hamor, the father of Shechem.
