Genesis 37:1-36
And Jacob dwelt in the land wherein his father was a stranger, in the land of Canaan.These[ are] the generations of Jacob. Joseph,[ being] seventeen years old, was feeding the flock with his brethren; and the lad[ was] with the sons of Bilhah, and with the sons of Zilpah, his father’s wives: and Joseph brought unto his father their evil report.Now Israel loved Joseph more than all his children, because he[ was] the son of his old age: and he made him a coat of[ many] colours.And when his brethren saw that their father loved him more than all his brethren, they hated him, and could not speak peaceably unto him.And Joseph dreamed a dream, and he told[ it] his brethren: and they hated him yet the more.And he said unto them, Hear, I pray you, this dream which I have dreamed:For, behold, we[ were] binding sheaves in the field, and, lo, my sheaf arose, and also stood upright; and, behold, your sheaves stood round about, and made obeisance to my sheaf.And his brethren said to him, Shalt thou indeed reign over us? or shalt thou indeed have dominion over us? And they hated him yet the more for his dreams, and for his words.And he dreamed yet another dream, and told it his brethren, and said, Behold, I have dreamed a dream more; and, behold, the sun and the moon and the eleven stars made obeisance to me.And he told[ it] to his father, and to his brethren: and his father rebuked him, and said unto him, What[ is] this dream that thou hast dreamed? Shall I and thy mother and thy brethren indeed come to bow down ourselves to thee to the earth?And his brethren envied him; but his father observed the saying.And his brethren went to feed their father’s flock in Shechem.And Israel said unto Joseph, Do not thy brethren feed[ the flock] in Shechem? come, and I will send thee unto them. And he said to him, Here[ am I].And he said to him, Go, I pray thee, see whether it be well with thy brethren, and well with the flocks; and bring me word again. So he sent him out of the vale of Hebron, and he came to Shechem.And a certain man found him, and, behold,[ he was] wandering in the field: and the man asked him, saying, What seekest thou?And he said, I seek my brethren: tell me, I pray thee, where they feed[ their flocks].And the man said, They are departed hence; for I heard them say, Let us go to Dothan. And Joseph went after his brethren, and found them in Dothan.And when they saw him afar off, even before he came near unto them, they conspired against him to slay him.And they said one to another, Behold, this dreamer cometh.Come now therefore, and let us slay him, and cast him into some pit, and we will say, Some evil beast hath devoured him: and we shall see what will become of his dreams.And Reuben heard[ it], and he delivered him out of their hands; and said, Let us not kill him.And Reuben said unto them, Shed no blood,[ but] cast him into this pit that[ is] in the wilderness, and lay no hand upon him; that he might rid him out of their hands, to deliver him to his father again.And it came to pass, when Joseph was come unto his brethren, that they stript Joseph out of his coat,[ his] coat of[ many] colours that[ was] on him;And they took him, and cast him into a pit: and the pit[ was] empty,[ there was] no water in it.And they sat down to eat bread: and they lifted up their eyes and looked, and, behold, a company of Ishmeelites came from Gilead with their camels bearing spicery and balm and myrrh, going to carry[ it] down to Egypt.And Judah said unto his brethren, What profit[ is it] if we slay our brother, and conceal his blood?Come, and let us sell him to the Ishmeelites, and let not our hand be upon him; for he[ is] our brother[ and] our flesh. And his brethren were content.Then there passed by Midianites merchantmen; and they drew and lifted up Joseph out of the pit, and sold Joseph to the Ishmeelites for twenty[ pieces] of silver: and they brought Joseph into Egypt.And Reuben returned unto the pit; and, behold, Joseph[ was] not in the pit; and he rent his clothes.And he returned unto his brethren, and said, The child[ is] not; and I, whither shall I go?And they took Joseph’s coat, and killed a kid of the goats, and dipped the coat in the blood;And they sent the coat of[ many] colours, and they brought[ it] to their father; and said, This have we found: know now whether it[ be] thy son’s coat or no.And he knew it, and said,[ It is] my son’s coat; an evil beast hath devoured him; Joseph is without doubt rent in pieces.And Jacob rent his clothes, and put sackcloth upon his loins, and mourned for his son many days.And all his sons and all his daughters rose up to comfort him; but he refused to be comforted; and he said, For I will go down into the grave unto my son mourning. Thus his father wept for him.And the Midianites sold him into Egypt unto Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh’s,[ and] captain of the guard.

Genesis 50:1-14
And Joseph fell upon his father’s face, and wept upon him, and kissed him.And Joseph commanded his servants the physicians to embalm his father: and the physicians embalmed Israel.And forty days were fulfilled for him; for so are fulfilled the days of those which are embalmed: and the Egyptians mourned for him threescore and ten days.And when the days of his mourning were past, Joseph spake unto the house of Pharaoh, saying, If now I have found grace in your eyes, speak, I pray you, in the ears of Pharaoh, saying,My father made me swear, saying, Lo, I die: in my grave which I have digged for me in the land of Canaan, there shalt thou bury me. Now therefore let me go up, I pray thee, and bury my father, and I will come again.And Pharaoh said, Go up, and bury thy father, according as he made thee swear.And Joseph went up to bury his father: and with him went up all the servants of Pharaoh, the elders of his house, and all the elders of the land of Egypt,And all the house of Joseph, and his brethren, and his father’s house: only their little ones, and their flocks, and their herds, they left in the land of Goshen.And there went up with him both chariots and horsemen: and it was a very great company.And they came to the threshingfloor of Atad, which[ is] beyond Jordan, and there they mourned with a great and very sore lamentation: and he made a mourning for his father seven days.And when the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites, saw the mourning in the floor of Atad, they said, This[ is] a grievous mourning to the Egyptians: wherefore the name of it was called Abelmizraim, which[ is] beyond Jordan.And his sons did unto him according as he commanded them:For his sons carried him into the land of Canaan, and buried him in the cave of the field of Machpelah, which Abraham bought with the field for a possession of a buryingplace of Ephron the Hittite, before Mamre.And Joseph returned into Egypt, he, and his brethren, and all that went up with him to bury his father, after he had buried his father.

Genesis 47:1-31
Then Joseph came and told Pharaoh, and said, My father and my brethren, and their flocks, and their herds, and all that they have, are come out of the land of Canaan; and, behold, they[ are] in the land of Goshen.And he took some of his brethren,[ even] five men, and presented them unto Pharaoh.And Pharaoh said unto his brethren, What[ is] your occupation? And they said unto Pharaoh, Thy servants[ are] shepherds, both we,[ and] also our fathers.They said moreover unto Pharaoh, For to sojourn in the land are we come; for thy servants have no pasture for their flocks; for the famine[ is] sore in the land of Canaan: now therefore, we pray thee, let thy servants dwell in the land of Goshen.And Pharaoh spake unto Joseph, saying, Thy father and thy brethren are come unto thee:The land of Egypt[ is] before thee; in the best of the land make thy father and brethren to dwell; in the land of Goshen let them dwell: and if thou knowest[ any] men of activity among them, then make them rulers over my cattle.And Joseph brought in Jacob his father, and set him before Pharaoh: and Jacob blessed Pharaoh.And Pharaoh said unto Jacob, How old[ art] thou?And Jacob said unto Pharaoh, The days of the years of my pilgrimage[ are] an hundred and thirty years: few and evil have the days of the years of my life been, and have not attained unto the days of the years of the life of my fathers in the days of their pilgrimage.And Jacob blessed Pharaoh, and went out from before Pharaoh.And Joseph placed his father and his brethren, and gave them a possession in the land of Egypt, in the best of the land, in the land of Rameses, as Pharaoh had commanded.And Joseph nourished his father, and his brethren, and all his father’s household, with bread, according to[ their] families.And[ there was] no bread in all the land; for the famine[ was] very sore, so that the land of Egypt and[ all] the land of Canaan fainted by reason of the famine.And Joseph gathered up all the money that was found in the land of Egypt, and in the land of Canaan, for the corn which they bought: and Joseph brought the money into Pharaoh’s house.And when money failed in the land of Egypt, and in the land of Canaan, all the Egyptians came unto Joseph, and said, Give us bread: for why should we die in thy presence? for the money faileth.And Joseph said, Give your cattle; and I will give you for your cattle, if money fail.And they brought their cattle unto Joseph: and Joseph gave them bread[ in exchange] for horses, and for the flocks, and for the cattle of the herds, and for the asses: and he fed them with bread for all their cattle for that year.When that year was ended, they came unto him the second year, and said unto him, We will not hide[ it] from my lord, how that our money is spent; my lord also hath our herds of cattle; there is not ought left in the sight of my lord, but our bodies, and our lands:Wherefore shall we die before thine eyes, both we and our land? buy us and our land for bread, and we and our land will be servants unto Pharaoh: and give[ us] seed, that we may live, and not die, that the land be not desolate.And Joseph bought all the land of Egypt for Pharaoh; for the Egyptians sold every man his field, because the famine prevailed over them: so the land became Pharaoh’s.And as for the people, he removed them to cities from[ one] end of the borders of Egypt even to the[ other] end thereof.Only the land of the priests bought he not; for the priests had a portion[ assigned them] of Pharaoh, and did eat their portion which Pharaoh gave them: wherefore they sold not their lands.Then Joseph said unto the people, Behold, I have bought you this day and your land for Pharaoh: lo,[ here is] seed for you, and ye shall sow the land.And it shall come to pass in the increase, that ye shall give the fifth[ part] unto Pharaoh, and four parts shall be your own, for seed of the field, and for your food, and for them of your households, and for food for your little ones.And they said, Thou hast saved our lives: let us find grace in the sight of my lord, and we will be Pharaoh’s servants.And Joseph made it a law over the land of Egypt unto this day,[ that] Pharaoh should have the fifth[ part]; except the land of the priests only,[ which] became not Pharaoh’s.And Israel dwelt in the land of Egypt, in the country of Goshen; and they had possessions therein, and grew, and multiplied exceedingly.And Jacob lived in the land of Egypt seventeen years: so the whole age of Jacob was an hundred forty and seven years.And the time drew nigh that Israel must die: and he called his son Joseph, and said unto him, If now I have found grace in thy sight, put, I pray thee, thy hand under my thigh, and deal kindly and truly with me; bury me not, I pray thee, in Egypt:But I will lie with my fathers, and thou shalt carry me out of Egypt, and bury me in their buryingplace. And he said, I will do as thou hast said.And he said, Swear unto me. And he sware unto him. And Israel bowed himself upon the bed’s head.

Genesis 49:22-27

Genesis 39:1-40:23
And Joseph was brought down to Egypt; and Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh, captain of the guard, an Egyptian, bought him of the hands of the Ishmeelites, which had brought him down thither.And the LORD was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man; and he was in the house of his master the Egyptian.And his master saw that the LORD[ was] with him, and that the LORD made all that he did to prosper in his hand.And Joseph found grace in his sight, and he served him: and he made him overseer over his house, and all[ that] he had he put into his hand.And it came to pass from the time[ that] he had made him overseer in his house, and over all that he had, that the LORD blessed the Egyptian’s house for Joseph’s sake; and the blessing of the LORD was upon all that he had in the house, and in the field.And he left all that he had in Joseph’s hand; and he knew not ought he had, save the bread which he did eat. And Joseph was[ a] goodly[ person], and well favoured.And it came to pass after these things, that his master’s wife cast her eyes upon Joseph; and she said, Lie with me.But he refused, and said unto his master’s wife, Behold, my master wotteth not what[ is] with me in the house, and he hath committed all that he hath to my hand;[ There is] none greater in this house than I; neither hath he kept back any thing from me but thee, because thou[ art] his wife: how then can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God?And it came to pass, as she spake to Joseph day by day, that he hearkened not unto her, to lie by her,[ or] to be with her.And it came to pass about this time, that[ Joseph] went into the house to do his business; and[ there was] none of the men of the house there within.And she caught him by his garment, saying, Lie with me: and he left his garment in her hand, and fled, and got him out.And it came to pass, when she saw that he had left his garment in her hand, and was fled forth,That she called unto the men of her house, and spake unto them, saying, See, he hath brought in an Hebrew unto us to mock us; he came in unto me to lie with me, and I cried with a loud voice:And it came to pass, when he heard that I lifted up my voice and cried, that he left his garment with me, and fled, and got him out.And she laid up his garment by her, until his lord came home.And she spake unto him according to these words, saying, The Hebrew servant, which thou hast brought unto us, came in unto me to mock me:And it came to pass, as I lifted up my voice and cried, that he left his garment with me, and fled out.And it came to pass, when his master heard the words of his wife, which she spake unto him, saying, After this manner did thy servant to me; that his wrath was kindled.And Joseph’s master took him, and put him into the prison, a place where the king’s prisoners[ were] bound: and he was there in the prison.But the LORD was with Joseph, and shewed him mercy, and gave him favour in the sight of the keeper of the prison.And the keeper of the prison committed to Joseph’s hand all the prisoners that[ were] in the prison; and whatsoever they did there, he was the doer[ of it].The keeper of the prison looked not to any thing[ that was] under his hand; because the LORD was with him, and[ that] which he did, the LORD made[ it] to prosper.And it came to pass after these things,[ that] the butler of the king of Egypt and[ his] baker had offended their lord the king of Egypt.And Pharaoh was wroth against two[ of] his officers, against the chief of the butlers, and against the chief of the bakers.And he put them in ward in the house of the captain of the guard, into the prison, the place where Joseph[ was] bound.And the captain of the guard charged Joseph with them, and he served them: and they continued a season in ward.And they dreamed a dream both of them, each man his dream in one night, each man according to the interpretation of his dream, the butler and the baker of the king of Egypt, which[ were] bound in the prison.And Joseph came in unto them in the morning, and looked upon them, and, behold, they[ were] sad.And he asked Pharaoh’s officers that[ were] with him in the ward of his lord’s house, saying, Wherefore look ye[ so] sadly to day?And they said unto him, We have dreamed a dream, and[ there is] no interpreter of it. And Joseph said unto them,[ Do] not interpretations[ belong] to God? tell me[ them], I pray you.And the chief butler told his dream to Joseph, and said to him, In my dream, behold, a vine[ was] before me;And in the vine[ were] three branches: and it[ was] as though it budded,[ and] her blossoms shot forth; and the clusters thereof brought forth ripe grapes:And Pharaoh’s cup[ was] in my hand: and I took the grapes, and pressed them into Pharaoh’s cup, and I gave the cup into Pharaoh’s hand.And Joseph said unto him, This[ is] the interpretation of it: The three branches[ are] three days:Yet within three days shall Pharaoh lift up thine head, and restore thee unto thy place: and thou shalt deliver Pharaoh’s cup into his hand, after the former manner when thou wast his butler.But think on me when it shall be well with thee, and shew kindness, I pray thee, unto me, and make mention of me unto Pharaoh, and bring me out of this house:For indeed I was stolen away out of the land of the Hebrews: and here also have I done nothing that they should put me into the dungeon.When the chief baker saw that the interpretation was good, he said unto Joseph, I also[ was] in my dream, and, behold,[ I had] three white baskets on my head:And in the uppermost basket[ there was] of all manner of bakemeats for Pharaoh; and the birds did eat them out of the basket upon my head.And Joseph answered and said, This[ is] the interpretation thereof: The three baskets[ are] three days:Yet within three days shall Pharaoh lift up thy head from off thee, and shall hang thee on a tree; and the birds shall eat thy flesh from off thee.And it came to pass the third day,[ which was] Pharaoh’s birthday, that he made a feast unto all his servants: and he lifted up the head of the chief butler and of the chief baker among his servants.And he restored the chief butler unto his butlership again; and he gave the cup into Pharaoh’s hand:But he hanged the chief baker: as Joseph had interpreted to them.Yet did not the chief butler remember Joseph, but forgat him.

Deuteronomy 33:12-17
