12 But when Jacob heard that there was grain in Egypt, he sent our ancestors there for the first time.
13 It was on their second trip that Joseph told his brothers who he was, and Pharaoh learnt about Joseph's family.
14 Joseph sent for his father and his relatives. In all, there were seventy-five of them.
15 His father went to Egypt and died there, just as our ancestors did.
16 Later their bodies were taken back to Shechem and placed in the tomb that Abraham had bought from the sons of Hamor.
17 Finally, the time came for God to do what he had promised Abraham. By then the number of our people in Egypt had greatly increased.
18 Another king was ruling Egypt, and he didn't know anything about Joseph.
