Acts 7:9-16

New American Standard Bible

⁹ “The patriarchs ^(A)became jealous of Joseph and sold him into Egypt. Yet God was with him, ¹⁰ and rescued him from all his afflictions, and ^(B)granted him favor and wisdom in the sight of Pharaoh, king of Egypt, and he made him governor over Egypt and his entire household.

¹¹ “Now ^(C)a famine came over all Egypt and Canaan, and great affliction with it, and our fathers ^[a]could find no food. ¹² But ^(D)when Jacob heard that there was grain in Egypt, he sent our fathers there the first time. ¹³ And on the second visit, ^(E)Joseph ^[b]made himself known to his brothers, and ^(F)Joseph’s family was revealed to Pharaoh. ¹⁴ Then ^(G)Joseph sent word and invited his father Jacob and all his relatives to come to him, ^(H)seventy-five ^[c](I)people in all. ¹⁵ And ^(J)Jacob went down to Egypt, and he and our fathers died there. ¹⁶ And they were brought back from there to ^[d](K)Shechem and laid in the tomb which Abraham had purchased for a sum of money from the sons of ^[e]Hamor in ^[f]Shechem.
