⁹ And the patriarchs, having become-jealous-of Joseph, sold him into Egypt. And God was with him, ¹⁰ and rescued him from all his afflictions, and gave him favor and wisdom in the sight of Pharaoh, king of Egypt. And he appointed him to be ruling over Egypt, and over his whole house. ¹¹ And a famine came over all Egypt and Canaan, and a great affliction. And our fathers were not finding food. ¹² But Jacob, having heard-of grain being in Egypt, sent-forth our fathers first. ¹³ And during the second visit, Joseph was made-known-again to his brothers, and the family of Joseph became known to Pharaoh. ¹⁴ And having sent-forth his brothers, Joseph summoned Jacob his father and all his relatives, amounting-to seventy five^[a] souls. ¹⁵ And Jacob went down to Egypt. And he came-to-an-end^[b], and our fathers. ¹⁶ And they were transferred to Shechem, and placed in the tomb which Abraham bought for a price of silver from the sons of Hamor in Shechem.
