Acts 7:9-16

9“These patriarchs were jealous of their brother Joseph, and they sold him to be a slave in Egypt. But God was with him

10and rescued him from all his troubles. And God gave him favor before Pharaoh, king of Egypt. God also gave Joseph unusual wisdom, so that Pharaoh appointed him governor over all of Egypt and put him in charge of the palace.

11“But a famine came upon Egypt and Canaan. There was great misery, and our ancestors ran out of food.

12Jacob heard that there was still grain in Egypt, so he sent his sons—our ancestors—to buy some.

13The second time they went, Joseph revealed his identity to his brothers, and they were introduced to Pharaoh.

14Then Joseph sent for his father, Jacob, and all his relatives to come to Egypt, seventy-five persons in all.

15So Jacob went to Egypt. He died there, as did our ancestors.

16Their bodies were taken to Shechem and buried in the tomb Abraham had bought for a certain price from Hamor’s sons in Shechem.
