Scriptures

King James Version (KJV)

Acts 7
⁸ And he gave him the covenant of circumcision: and so Abraham begat Isaac, and circumcised him the eighth day; and Isaac begat Jacob; and Jacob begat the twelve patriarchs.
⁹ And the patriarchs, moved with envy, sold Joseph into Egypt: but God was with him,
¹⁰ And delivered him out of all his afflictions, and gave him favour and wisdom in the sight of Pharaoh king of Egypt; and he made him governor over Egypt and all his house.
¹¹ Now there came a dearth over all the land of Egypt and Chanaan, and great affliction: and our fathers found no sustenance.
¹² But when Jacob heard that there was corn in Egypt, he sent out our fathers first.
¹³ And at the second time Joseph was made known to his brethren; and Joseph's kindred was made known unto Pharaoh.
¹⁴ Then sent Joseph, and called his father Jacob to him, and all his kindred, threescore and fifteen souls.
¹⁵ So Jacob went down into Egypt, and died, he, and our fathers,
¹⁶ And were carried over into Sychem, and laid in the sepulchre that Abraham bought for a sum of money of the sons of Emmor the father of Sychem.
¹⁷ But when the time of the promise drew nigh, which God had sworn to Abraham, the people grew and multiplied in Egypt,
¹⁸ Till another king arose, which knew not Joseph.
