She named him Joseph, and said,“ May the Lord add to me another son.”

She said,“ May the Lord give me another son.” So she named him Joseph.

And she called his name Joseph, saying,“ May the Lord add to me another son!”

And she named him Joseph, for she said,“ May the Lord add yet another son to my family.”

Joseph is a fruitful vine, a fruitful vine beside a spring; its branches climb over the wall.The archers attacked him, shot at him, and were hostile toward him.Yet his bow remained steady, and his strong arms were made agile by the hands of the Mighty One of Jacob, by the name of the Shepherd, the Rock of Israel,by the God of your father who helps you, and by the Almighty who blesses you with blessings of the heavens above, blessings of the deep that lies below, and blessings of the breasts and the womb.The blessings of your father excel the blessings of my ancestors and the bounty of the ancient hills. May they rest on the head of Joseph, on the brow of the prince of his brothers.

Rachel’s sons were Joseph and Benjamin.

These are the family records of Jacob. At seventeen years of age, Joseph tended sheep with his brothers. The young man was working with the sons of Bilhah and Zilpah, his father’s wives, and he brought a bad report about them to their father.

By faith Jacob, when he was dying, blessed each of the sons of Joseph, and he worshiped, leaning on the top of his staff.By faith Joseph, as he was nearing the end of his life, mentioned the exodus of the Israelites and gave instructions concerning his bones.

Joseph was in charge of the country; he sold grain to all its people. His brothers came and bowed down before him with their faces to the ground.

During her difficult labor, the midwife said to her,“ Don’t be afraid, for you have another son.”With her last breath— for she was dying— she named him Ben-oni, but his father called him Benjamin.

“ Son of man, take a single stick and write on it: Belonging to Judah and the Israelites associated with him. Then take another stick and write on it: Belonging to Joseph— the stick of Ephraim— and all the house of Israel associated with him.

12,000 from the tribe of Zebulun, 12,000 from the tribe of Joseph, 12,000 sealed from the tribe of Benjamin.

Now Joseph had been taken to Egypt. An Egyptian named Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh and the captain of the guards, bought him from the Ishmaelites who had brought him there.The LORD was with Joseph, and he became a successful man, serving in the household of his Egyptian master.When his master saw that the LORD was with him and that the LORD made everything he did successful,Joseph found favor with his master and became his personal attendant. Potiphar also put him in charge of his household and placed all that he owned under his authority.From the time that he put him in charge of his household and of all that he owned, the LORD blessed the Egyptian’s house because of Joseph. The LORD’s blessing was on all that he owned, in his house and in his fields.He left all that he owned under Joseph’s authority; he did not concern himself with anything except the food he ate. Now Joseph was well-built and handsome.After some time his master’s wife looked longingly at Joseph and said,“ Sleep with me.”But he refused.“ Look,” he said to his master’s wife,“ with me here my master does not concern himself with anything in his house, and he has put all that he owns under my authority.No one in this house is greater than I am. He has withheld nothing from me except you, because you are his wife. So how could I do this immense evil, and how could I sin against God?”Although she spoke to Joseph day after day, he refused to go to bed with her.Now one day he went into the house to do his work, and none of the household servants were there.She grabbed him by his garment and said,“ Sleep with me!” But leaving his garment in her hand, he escaped and ran outside.When she saw that he had left his garment with her and had run outside,she called her household servants.“ Look,” she said to them,“ my husband brought a Hebrew man to make fools of us. He came to me so he could sleep with me, and I screamed as loud as I could.When he heard me screaming for help, he left his garment beside me and ran outside.”She put Joseph’s garment beside her until his master came home.Then she told him the same story:“ The Hebrew slave you brought to us came to make a fool of me,but when I screamed for help, he left his garment beside me and ran outside.”When his master heard the story his wife told him—“ These are the things your slave did to me”— he was furiousand had him thrown into prison, where the king’s prisoners were confined. So Joseph was there in prison.But the LORD was with Joseph and extended kindness to him. He granted him favor with the prison warden.The warden put all the prisoners who were in the prison under Joseph’s authority, and he was responsible for everything that was done there.The warden did not bother with anything under Joseph’s authority, because the LORD was with him, and the LORD made everything that he did successful.

When his brothers saw that their father loved him more than all his brothers, they hated him and could not bring themselves to speak peaceably to him.

Some time after this, Joseph was told,“ Your father is weaker.” So he set out with his two sons, Manasseh and Ephraim.When Jacob was told,“ Your son Joseph has come to you,” Israel summoned his strength and sat up in bed.Jacob said to Joseph,“ God Almighty appeared to me at Luz in the land of Canaan and blessed me.He said to me,‘ I will make you fruitful and numerous; I will make many nations come from you, and I will give this land as a permanent possession to your future descendants.’Your two sons born to you in the land of Egypt before I came to you in Egypt are now mine. Ephraim and Manasseh belong to me just as Reuben and Simeon do.Children born to you after them will be yours and will be recorded under the names of their brothers with regard to their inheritance.When I was returning from Paddan, to my sorrow Rachel died along the way, some distance from Ephrath in the land of Canaan. I buried her there along the way to Ephrath”( that is, Bethlehem).When Israel saw Joseph’s sons, he said,“ Who are these?”And Joseph said to his father,“ They are my sons God has given me here.” So Israel said,“ Bring them to me and I will bless them.”Now his eyesight was poor because of old age; he could hardly see. Joseph brought them to him, and he kissed and embraced them.Israel said to Joseph,“ I never expected to see your face again, but now God has even let me see your offspring.”Then Joseph took them from his father’s knees and bowed with his face to the ground.Then Joseph took them both— with his right hand Ephraim toward Israel’s left, and with his left hand Manasseh toward Israel’s right— and brought them to Israel.But Israel stretched out his right hand and put it on the head of Ephraim, the younger, and crossing his hands, put his left on Manasseh’s head, although Manasseh was the firstborn.Then he blessed Joseph and said: The God before whom my fathers Abraham and Isaac walked, the God who has been my shepherd all my life to this day,the angel who has redeemed me from all harm— may he bless these boys. And may they be called by my name and the names of my fathers Abraham and Isaac, and may they grow to be numerous within the land.When Joseph saw that his father had placed his right hand on Ephraim’s head, he thought it was a mistake and took his father’s hand to move it from Ephraim’s head to Manasseh’s.Joseph said to his father,“ Not that way, my father! This one is the firstborn. Put your right hand on his head.”But his father refused and said,“ I know, my son, I know! He too will become a tribe, and he too will be great; nevertheless, his younger brother will be greater than he, and his offspring will become a populous nation.”So he blessed them that day, putting Ephraim before Manasseh when he said,“ The nation Israel will invoke blessings by you, saying,‘ May God make you like Ephraim and Manasseh.’”Israel said to Joseph,“ Look, I am about to die, but God will be with you and will bring you back to the land of your fathers.Over and above what I am giving your brothers, I am giving you the one mountain slope that I took from the Amorites with my sword and bow.”

He said about Joseph: May his land be blessed by the LORD with the dew of heaven’s bounty and the watery depths that lie beneath;with the bountiful harvest from the sun and the abundant yield of the seasons;with the best products of the ancient mountains and the bounty of the eternal hills;with the choice gifts of the land and everything in it; and with the favor of him who appeared in the burning bush. May these rest on the head of Joseph, on the brow of the prince of his brothers.His firstborn bull has splendor, and horns like those of a wild ox; he gores all the peoples with them to the ends of the earth. Such are the ten thousands of Ephraim, and such are the thousands of Manasseh.

“ The patriarchs became jealous of Joseph and sold him into Egypt, but God was with himand rescued him out of all his troubles. He gave him favor and wisdom in the sight of Pharaoh, king of Egypt, who appointed him ruler over Egypt and over his whole household.Now a famine and great suffering came over all of Egypt and Canaan, and our ancestors could find no food.When Jacob heard there was grain in Egypt, he sent our ancestors there the first time.The second time, Joseph revealed himself to his brothers, and Joseph’s family became known to Pharaoh.Joseph invited his father Jacob and all his relatives, seventy-five people in all,and Jacob went down to Egypt. He and our ancestors died there,
