-
And she called his name Joseph; and said, The Lord shall add to me another son.
-
And it came to pass, when Rachel had born 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 with 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 the lad was with the sons of Bilhah, and with the sons of Zilpah, his father's wives: and Joseph brought unto his father their evil report.
-
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 colours.
-
And Joseph dreamed a dream, and he told it his brethren: and they hated him yet the more.
-
And Israel said unto Joseph, Do not thy brethren feed 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 stript Joseph out of his coat, his coat of many colours that was on him;
-
Then there passed by Midianites merchantmen; and they drew and lifted up Joseph out of the pit, and sold Joseph to the Ishmeelites 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 kid of the goats, 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 rent in pieces.
-
And Joseph was brought down to Egypt; and Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh, captain of the guard, an Egyptian, bought him of the hands of the Ishmeelites, which had brought him down thither.
-
And the Lord was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man; and he was in the house of his master the Egyptian.
-
And Joseph found grace in his sight, and he served 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 had made him overseer in his house, and over all that he had, that the Lord blessed the Egyptian's house for Joseph's sake; and the blessing of the Lord 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 ought he had, save the bread which he did eat. And Joseph was a goodly person, and well favoured.
-
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 it came to pass about this time, that Joseph went into the house to do his business; and there was none of the men of the house there within.
-
And Joseph's master took him, and put him into the prison, a place where the king's prisoners were bound: and he was there in the prison.
-
But the Lord was with Joseph, and shewed him mercy, and gave him favour in the sight of the keeper of the prison.
