“ The patriarchs became jealous of Joseph and sold him into Egypt, but God was with him

And the patriarchs, moved with envy, sold Joseph into Egypt: but God was with him,

The patriarchs, because they were jealous of Joseph, sold him into Egypt. But God was with him,

“ The patriarchs, moved with jealousy against Joseph, sold him into Egypt. God was with him,

And the Lord was with Joseph, so he became a successful man. And he was in the house of his master, the Egyptian.

Then Joseph said to his brothers,“ Please come closer to me.” And they came closer. And he said,“ I am your brother Joseph, whom you sold to Egypt.

He sent a man before them, Joseph, who was sold as a slave.

But the Lord was with Joseph and extended kindness to him, and gave him favor in the sight of the warden of the prison.And the warden of the prison put Joseph in charge of all the prisoners who were in the prison; so that whatever was done there, he was responsible for it.The warden of the prison did not supervise anything under Joseph’s authority, because the Lord was with him; and, the Lord made whatever he did prosper.

And his brothers saw that their father loved him more than all his brothers; and so they hated him and could not speak to him on friendly terms.Then Joseph had a dream, and when he told it to his brothers, they hated him even more.He said to them,“ Please listen to this dream which I have had;for behold, we were binding sheaves in the field, and behold, my sheaf stood up and also remained standing; and behold, your sheaves gathered around and bowed down to my sheaf.”Then his brothers said to him,“ Are you actually going to reign over us? Or are you really going to rule over us?” So they hated him even more for his dreams and for his words.Then he had yet another dream, and informed his brothers of it, and said,“ Behold, I have had yet another dream; and behold, the sun and the moon, and eleven stars were bowing down to me.”He also told it to his father as well as to his brothers; and his father rebuked him and said to him,“ What is this dream that you have had? Am I and your mother and your brothers actually going to come to bow down to the ground before you?”And his brothers were jealous of him, but his father kept the matter in mind.

It came about that from the time he made him overseer in his house and over all that he owned, the Lord blessed the Egyptian’s house on account of Joseph; so the Lord’s blessing was upon all that he owned, in the house and in the field.

The archers provoked him, And shot at him and were hostile toward him;But his bow remained firm, And his arms were agile, From the hands of the Mighty One of Jacob( From there is the Shepherd, the Stone of Israel),

When Joseph’s brothers had seen that their father was dead, they said,“ What if Joseph holds a grudge against us and pays us back in full for all the wrong which we did to him!”So they sent instructions to Joseph, saying,“ Your father commanded us before he died, saying,‘ This is what you shall say to Joseph:“ Please forgive, I beg you, the offense of your brothers and their sin, for they did you wrong.” ’ And now, please forgive the offense of the servants of the God of your father.” And Joseph wept when they spoke to him.Then his brothers also came and fell down before him and said,“ Behold, we are your servants.”But Joseph said to them,“ Do not be afraid, for am I in God’s place?As for you, you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good in order to bring about this present result, to keep many people alive.

When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; And through the rivers, they will not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be scorched, Nor will the flame burn you.

Do not fear, for I am with you; Do not be afraid, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, I will also help you, I will also uphold you with My righteous right hand.’

When they saw him from a distance, and before he came closer to them, they plotted against him to put him to death.They said to one another,“ Here comes this dreamer!Now then, come and let’s kill him, and throw him into one of the pits; and we will say,‘ A vicious animal devoured him.’ Then we will see what will become of his dreams!”But Reuben heard this and rescued him out of their hands by saying,“ Let’s not take his life.”Then Reuben said to them,“ Shed no blood. Throw him into this pit that is in the wilderness, but do not lay a hand on him”— so that later he might rescue him out of their hands, to return him to his father.So it came about, when Joseph reached his brothers, that they stripped Joseph of his tunic, the multicolored tunic that was on him;and they took him and threw him into the pit. Now the pit was empty, without any water in it.Then they sat down to eat a meal. But as they raised their eyes and looked, behold, a caravan of Ishmaelites was coming from Gilead, with their camels carrying labdanum resin, balsam, and myrrh, on their way to bring them down to Egypt.And Judah said to his brothers,“ What profit is it for us to kill our brother and cover up his blood?Come, and let’s sell him to the Ishmaelites and not lay our hands on him, for he is our brother, our own flesh.” And his brothers listened to him.Then some Midianite traders passed by, so they pulled him out and lifted Joseph out of the pit, and sold him to the Ishmaelites for twenty shekels of silver. So they brought Joseph into Egypt.Now Reuben returned to the pit, and behold, Joseph was not in the pit; so he tore his garments.

For he knew that it was because of envy that they had handed Him over.
