Acts 7:9-16

9The patriarchs became jealous of Joseph and sold him into Egypt. Yet God was with him.

10He rescued him out of all his troubles and granted him favor and wisdom before Pharaoh, king of Egypt, who made him governor over Egypt and all his household.

11“Famine and great suffering came over all Egypt and Canaan, and our fathers could find no food.

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

13On the second visit, Joseph made himself known to his brothers, and his family became known to Pharaoh.

14So Joseph sent and called for Jacob and all his relatives—seventy-five persons.

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

16They were carried to Shechem and laid in the tomb that Abraham had bought for a sum of money from the sons of Hamor in Shechem.
