  • Genesis 37:1-36
    Jacob lived in the land where his father had stayed, the land of Canaan.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.Now Israel loved Joseph more than his other sons because Joseph was a son born to him in his old age, and he made a long-sleeved robe for him.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.Then Joseph had a dream. When he told it to his brothers, they hated him even more.He said to them,“ Listen to this dream I had:There we were, binding sheaves of grain in the field. Suddenly my sheaf stood up, and your sheaves gathered around it and bowed down to my sheaf.”“ Are you really going to reign over us?” his brothers asked him.“ Are you really going to rule us?” So they hated him even more because of his dream and what he had said.Then he had another dream and told it to his brothers.“ Look,” he said,“ I had another dream, and this time the sun, moon, and eleven stars were bowing down to me.”He told his father and brothers, and his father rebuked him.“ What kind of dream is this that you have had?” he said.“ Am I and your mother and your brothers really going to come and bow down to the ground before you?”His brothers were jealous of him, but his father kept the matter in mind.His brothers had gone to pasture their father’s flocks at Shechem.Israel said to Joseph,“ Your brothers, you know, are pasturing the flocks at Shechem. Get ready. I’m sending you to them.”“ I’m ready,” Joseph replied.Then Israel said to him,“ Go and see how your brothers and the flocks are doing, and bring word back to me.” So he sent him from the Hebron Valley, and he went to Shechem.A man found him there, wandering in the field, and asked him,“ What are you looking for?”“ I’m looking for my brothers,” Joseph said.“ Can you tell me where they are pasturing their flocks?”“ They’ve moved on from here,” the man said.“ I heard them say,‘ Let’s go to Dothan.’” So Joseph set out after his brothers and found them at Dothan.They saw him in the distance, and before he had reached them, they plotted to kill him.They said to one another,“ Oh, look, here comes that dream expert!So now, come on, let’s kill him and throw him into one of the pits. We can say that a vicious animal ate him. Then we’ll see what becomes of his dreams!”When Reuben heard this, he tried to save him from them. He said,“ Let’s not take his life.”Reuben also said to them,“ Don’t shed blood. Throw him into this pit in the wilderness, but don’t lay a hand on him”— intending to rescue him from them and return him to his father.When Joseph came to his brothers, they stripped off Joseph’s robe, the robe of many colors that he had on.Then they took him and threw him into the pit. The pit was empty, without water.They sat down to eat a meal, and when they looked up, there was a caravan of Ishmaelites coming from Gilead. Their camels were carrying aromatic gum, balsam, and resin, going down to Egypt.Judah said to his brothers,“ What do we gain if we kill our brother and cover up his blood?Come on, let’s sell him to the Ishmaelites and not lay a hand on him, for he is our brother, our own flesh,” and his brothers agreed.When Midianite traders passed by, his brothers pulled Joseph out of the pit and sold him for twenty pieces of silver to the Ishmaelites, who took Joseph to Egypt.When Reuben returned to the pit and saw that Joseph was not there, he tore his clothes.He went back to his brothers and said,“ The boy is gone! What am I going to do?”So they took Joseph’s robe, slaughtered a male goat, and dipped the robe in its blood.They sent the long-sleeved robe to their father and said,“ We found this. Examine it. Is it your son’s robe or not?”His father recognized it.“ It is my son’s robe,” he said.“ A vicious animal has devoured him. Joseph has been torn to pieces!”Then Jacob tore his clothes, put sackcloth around his waist, and mourned for his son many days.All his sons and daughters tried to comfort him, but he refused to be comforted.“ No,” he said.“ I will go down to Sheol to my son, mourning.” And his father wept for him.Meanwhile, the Midianites sold Joseph in Egypt to Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh and the captain of the guards.
  • Genesis 50:1-14
    Then Joseph, leaning over his father’s face, wept and kissed him.He commanded his servants who were physicians to embalm his father. So they embalmed Israel.They took forty days to complete this, for embalming takes that long, and the Egyptians mourned for him seventy days.When the days of mourning were over, Joseph said to Pharaoh’s household,“ If I have found favor with you, please tell Pharaoh thatmy father made me take an oath, saying,‘ I am about to die. You must bury me there in the tomb that I made for myself in the land of Canaan.’ Now let me go and bury my father. Then I will return.”So Pharaoh said,“ Go and bury your father in keeping with your oath.”Then Joseph went to bury his father, and all Pharaoh’s servants, the elders of his household, and all the elders of the land of Egypt went with him,along with all Joseph’s family, his brothers, and his father’s family. Only their dependents, their flocks, and their herds were left in the land of Goshen.Horses and chariots went up with him; it was a very impressive procession.When they reached the threshing floor of Atad, which is across the Jordan, they lamented and wept loudly, and Joseph mourned seven days for his father.When the Canaanite inhabitants of the land saw the mourning at the threshing floor of Atad, they said,“ This is a solemn mourning on the part of the Egyptians.” Therefore the place is named Abel-mizraim. It is across the Jordan.So Jacob’s sons did for him what he had commanded them.They carried him to the land of Canaan and buried him in the cave at Machpelah in the field near Mamre, which Abraham had purchased as burial property from Ephron the Hethite.After Joseph buried his father, he returned to Egypt with his brothers and all who had gone with him to bury his father.
  • Genesis 47:1-31
    So Joseph went and informed Pharaoh:“ My father and my brothers, with their flocks and herds and all that they own, have come from the land of Canaan and are now in the land of Goshen.”He took five of his brothers and presented them to Pharaoh.And Pharaoh asked his brothers,“ What is your occupation?” They said to Pharaoh,“ Your servants, both we and our ancestors, are shepherds.”And they said to Pharaoh,“ We have come to stay in the land for a while because there is no grazing land for your servants’ sheep, since the famine in the land of Canaan has been severe. So now, please let your servants settle in the land of Goshen.”Then Pharaoh said to Joseph,“ Now that your father and brothers have come to you,the land of Egypt is open before you; settle your father and brothers in the best part of the land. They can live in the land of Goshen. If you know of any capable men among them, put them in charge of my livestock.”Joseph then brought his father Jacob and presented him to Pharaoh, and Jacob blessed Pharaoh.Pharaoh said to Jacob,“ How many years have you lived?”Jacob said to Pharaoh,“ My pilgrimage has lasted 130 years. My years have been few and hard, and they have not reached the years of my ancestors during their pilgrimages.”So Jacob blessed Pharaoh and departed from Pharaoh’s presence.Then Joseph settled his father and brothers in the land of Egypt and gave them property in the best part of the land, the land of Rameses, as Pharaoh had commanded.And Joseph provided his father, his brothers, and all his father’s family with food for their dependents.But there was no food in the entire region, for the famine was very severe. The land of Egypt and the land of Canaan were exhausted by the famine.Joseph collected all the silver to be found in the land of Egypt and the land of Canaan in exchange for the grain they were purchasing, and he brought the silver to Pharaoh’s palace.When the silver from the land of Egypt and the land of Canaan was gone, all the Egyptians came to Joseph and said,“ Give us food. Why should we die here in front of you? The silver is gone!”But Joseph said,“ Give me your livestock. Since the silver is gone, I will give you food in exchange for your livestock.”So they brought their livestock to Joseph, and he gave them food in exchange for the horses, the flocks of sheep, the herds of cattle, and the donkeys. That year he provided them with food in exchange for all their livestock.When that year was over, they came the next year and said to him,“ We cannot hide from our lord that the silver is gone and that all our livestock belongs to our lord. There is nothing left for our lord except our bodies and our land.Why should we die here in front of you— both us and our land? Buy us and our land in exchange for food. Then we with our land will become Pharaoh’s slaves. Give us seed so that we can live and not die, and so that the land won’t become desolate.”In this way, Joseph acquired all the land in Egypt for Pharaoh, because every Egyptian sold his field since the famine was so severe for them. The land became Pharaoh’s,and Joseph made the people servants from one end of Egypt to the other.The only land he did not acquire belonged to the priests, for they had an allowance from Pharaoh. They ate from their allowance that Pharaoh gave them; therefore they did not sell their land.Joseph said to the people,“ Understand today that I have acquired you and your land for Pharaoh. Here is seed for you. Sow it in the land.At harvest, you are to give a fifth of it to Pharaoh, and four-fifths will be yours as seed for the field and as food for yourselves, your households, and your dependents.”“ You have saved our lives,” they said.“ We have found favor with our lord and will be Pharaoh’s slaves.”So Joseph made it a law, still in effect today in the land of Egypt, that a fifth of the produce belongs to Pharaoh. Only the priests’ land does not belong to Pharaoh.Israel settled in the land of Egypt, in the region of Goshen. They acquired property in it and became fruitful and very numerous.Now Jacob lived in the land of Egypt 17 years, and his life span was 147 years.When the time approached for him to die, he called his son Joseph and said to him,“ If I have found favor with you, put your hand under my thigh and promise me that you will deal with me in kindness and faithfulness. Do not bury me in Egypt.When I rest with my ancestors, carry me away from Egypt and bury me in their burial place.” Joseph answered,“ I will do what you have asked.”And Jacob said,“ Swear to me.” So Joseph swore to him. Then Israel bowed in thanks at the head of his bed.
  • Genesis 49:22-27
    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.Benjamin is a wolf; he tears his prey. In the morning he devours the prey, and in the evening he divides the plunder.”

  • Genesis 39:1-40:23
    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.After this, the king of Egypt’s cupbearer and baker offended their master, the king of Egypt.Pharaoh was angry with his two officers, the chief cupbearer and the chief baker,and put them in custody in the house of the captain of the guards in the prison where Joseph was confined.The captain of the guards assigned Joseph to them as their personal attendant, and they were in custody for some time.The king of Egypt’s cupbearer and baker, who were confined in the prison, each had a dream. Both had a dream on the same night, and each dream had its own meaning.When Joseph came to them in the morning, he saw that they looked distraught.So he asked Pharaoh’s officers who were in custody with him in his master’s house,“ Why do you look so sad today?”“ We had dreams,” they said to him,“ but there is no one to interpret them.” Then Joseph said to them,“ Don’t interpretations belong to God? Tell me your dreams.”So the chief cupbearer told his dream to Joseph:“ In my dream there was a vine in front of me.On the vine were three branches. As soon as it budded, its blossoms came out and its clusters ripened into grapes.Pharaoh’s cup was in my hand, and I took the grapes, squeezed them into Pharaoh’s cup, and placed the cup in Pharaoh’s hand.”“ This is its interpretation,” Joseph said to him.“ The three branches are three days.In just three days Pharaoh will lift up your head and restore you to your position. You will put Pharaoh’s cup in his hand the way you used to when you were his cupbearer.But when all goes well for you, remember that I was with you. Please show kindness to me by mentioning me to Pharaoh, and get me out of this prison.For I was kidnapped from the land of the Hebrews, and even here I have done nothing that they should put me in the dungeon.”When the chief baker saw that the interpretation was positive, he said to Joseph,“ I also had a dream. Three baskets of white bread were on my head.In the top basket were all sorts of baked goods for Pharaoh, but the birds were eating them out of the basket on my head.”“ This is its interpretation,” Joseph replied.“ The three baskets are three days.In just three days Pharaoh will lift up your head— from off you— and hang you on a tree. Then the birds will eat the flesh from your body.”On the third day, which was Pharaoh’s birthday, he gave a feast for all his servants. He elevated the chief cupbearer and the chief baker among his servants.Pharaoh restored the chief cupbearer to his position as cupbearer, and he placed the cup in Pharaoh’s hand.But Pharaoh hanged the chief baker, just as Joseph had explained to them.Yet the chief cupbearer did not remember Joseph; he forgot him.

    He said about Benjamin: The LORD’s beloved rests securely on him. He shields him all day long, and he rests on his shoulders.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.
