Joseph Sold into Egypt

(Genesis 37:12–30)

9 [Because] the patriarchs were jealous of Joseph, they sold him as a slave into Egypt. But God was with him 10 and rescued him from all his troubles. [He] granted [Joseph] favor and wisdom in the sight of Pharaoh king of Egypt, [who] appointed him ruler over Egypt and all his household.

11 Then famine and great suffering swept across Egypt and Canaan, and our fathers could not find food. 12 [When] Jacob heard that [there] was grain in Egypt, he sent our fathers [on their] first [visit]. 13 On [their] second [visit], Joseph revealed his identity to[fn] his brothers, and [his] family became known to Pharaoh. 14 Then Joseph sent for his father Jacob and all [his] relatives, seventy-five in all.
