9 “Jacob's sons became jealous of their brother Joseph and sold him to be a slave in Egypt. But God was with him
10 and brought him safely through all his troubles. When Joseph appeared before the king of Egypt, God gave him a pleasing manner and wisdom, and the king made Joseph governor over the country and the royal household.
11 Then there was a famine all over Egypt and Canaan, which caused much suffering. Our ancestors could not find any food,
12 and when Jacob heard that there was grain in Egypt, he sent his sons, our ancestors, on their first visit there.
13 On the second visit Joseph made himself known to his brothers, and the king of Egypt came to know about Joseph's family.
14 So Joseph sent a message to his father Jacob, telling him and the whole family, seventy-five people in all, to come to Egypt.
15 Then Jacob went to Egypt, where he and his sons died.
