-
and she called his name Joseph, saying, Jehovah add to me another son.
-
And it came to pass, when Rachel had borne Joseph, that Jacob said unto Laban, Send me away, that I may go unto mine own place, and to my country.
-
And he put the handmaids and their children foremost, and Leah and her children after, and Rachel and Joseph hindermost.
-
And Leah also and her children came near, and bowed themselves: and after came Joseph near and Rachel, and they bowed themselves.
-
the sons of Rachel: Joseph and Benjamin;
-
These are the generations of Jacob. Joseph, being seventeen years old, was feeding the flock with his brethren; and he was a lad with the sons of Bilhah, and with the sons of Zilpah, his father’s wives: and Joseph brought the evil report of them unto their father.
-
Now Israel loved Joseph more than all his children, because he was the son of his old age: and he made him a coat of many colors.
-
And Joseph dreamed a dream, and he told it to his brethren: and they hated him yet the more.
-
And Israel said unto Joseph, Are not thy brethren feeding the flock in Shechem? come, and I will send thee unto them. And he said to him, Here am I.
-
And the man said, They are departed hence; for I heard them say, Let us go to Dothan. And Joseph went after his brethren, and found them in Dothan.
-
And it came to pass, when Joseph was come unto his brethren, that they stripped Joseph of his coat, the coat of many colors that was on him;
-
And there passed by Midianites, merchantmen; and they drew and lifted up Joseph out of the pit, and sold Joseph to the Ishmaelites for twenty pieces of silver. And they brought Joseph into Egypt.
-
And Reuben returned unto the pit; and, behold, Joseph was not in the pit; and he rent his clothes.
-
And they took Joseph’s coat, and killed a he-goat, and dipped the coat in the blood;
-
And he knew it, and said, It is my son’s coat; an evil beast hath devoured him; Joseph is without doubt torn in pieces.
-
And Joseph was brought down to Egypt; and Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh’s, the captain of the guard, an Egyptian, bought him of the hand of the Ishmaelites, that had brought him down thither.
-
And Jehovah was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man; and he was in the house of his master the Egyptian.
-
And Joseph found favor in his sight, and he ministered unto him: and he made him overseer over his house, and all that he had he put into his hand.
-
And it came to pass from the time that he made him overseer in his house, and over all that he had, that Jehovah blessed the Egyptian’s house for Joseph’s sake; and the blessing of Jehovah was upon all that he had, in the house and in the field.
-
And he left all that he had in Joseph’s hand; and he knew not aught that was with him, save the bread which he did eat. And Joseph was comely, and well-favored.
-
And it came to pass after these things, that his master’s wife cast her eyes upon Joseph; and she said, Lie with me.
-
And it came to pass, as she spake to Joseph day by day, that he hearkened not unto her, to lie by her, or to be with her.
-
And Joseph’s master took him, and put him into the prison, the place where the king’s prisoners were bound: and he was there in the prison.
-
But Jehovah was with Joseph, and showed kindness unto him, and gave him favor in the sight of the keeper of the prison.
-
And the keeper of the prison committed to Joseph’s hand all the prisoners that were in the prison; and whatsoever they did there, he was the doer of it.
