Then your servant my father said to us,‘ You know that my wife bore me two sons;

Now Jacob loved Rachel, so he said,“ I will serve you seven years for your younger daughter Rachel.”

Dan, Joseph, Benjamin, Naphtali, Gad, and Asher.

Now Jacob lived in the land where his father had lived as a stranger, in the land of Canaan.These are the records of the generations of Jacob. Joseph, when he was seventeen years of age, was pasturing the flock with his brothers, while he was still a youth, along with the sons of Bilhah and the sons of Zilpah, his father’s wives. And Joseph brought back a bad report about them to their father.Now Israel loved Joseph more than all his other sons, because he was the son of his old age; and he made him a multicolored tunic.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.Then his brothers went to pasture their father’s flock in Shechem.And Israel said to Joseph,“ Are your brothers not pasturing the flock in Shechem? Come, and I will send you to them.” And he said to him,“ I will go.”Then he said to him,“ Go now and see about the welfare of your brothers and the welfare of the flock, and bring word back to me.” So he sent him from the Valley of Hebron, and he came to Shechem.A man found him, and behold, he was wandering in the field; and the man asked him,“ What are you looking for?”He said,“ I am looking for my brothers; please tell me where they are pasturing the flock.”Then the man said,“ They have moved from here; for I heard them say,‘ Let’s go to Dothan.’ ” So Joseph went after his brothers and found them at Dothan.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.He returned to his brothers and said,“ The boy is not there; as for me, where am I to go?”So they took Joseph’s tunic, and slaughtered a male goat, and dipped the tunic in the blood;and they sent the multicolored tunic and brought it to their father and said,“ We found this; please examine it to see whether it is your son’s tunic or not.”Then he examined it and said,“ It is my son’s tunic. A vicious animal has devoured him; Joseph has surely been torn to pieces!”So Jacob tore his clothes, and put on a sackcloth undergarment over his waist, and mourned for his son many days.Then all his sons and all his daughters got up to comfort him, but he refused to be comforted. And he said,“ Surely I will go down to Sheol in mourning for my son.” So his father wept for him.Meanwhile, the Midianites sold him in Egypt to Potiphar, Pharaoh’s officer, the captain of the bodyguard.

Then Joseph fell on his father’s face, and wept over him and kissed him.Joseph commanded his servants the physicians to embalm his father. So the physicians embalmed Israel.Now forty days were required for it, for such is the period required for embalming. And the Egyptians wept for him seventy days.When the days of mourning for him were past, Joseph spoke to the household of Pharaoh, saying,“ If now I have found favor in your sight, please speak to Pharaoh, saying,‘ My father made me swear, saying,“ Behold, I am about to die; in my grave which I dug for myself in the land of Canaan, there you shall bury me.” Now then, please let me go up and bury my father; then I will return.’ ”Pharaoh said,“ Go up and bury your father, as he made you swear.”So Joseph went up to bury his father, and with him went up all the servants of Pharaoh, the elders of his household and all the elders of the land of Egypt,and all the household of Joseph and his brothers and his father’s household; they left only their little ones and their flocks and their herds in the land of Goshen.Chariots with teams of horses also went up with him; and it was a very great company.When they came to the threshing floor of Atad, which is beyond the Jordan, they mourned there with a very great and sorrowful lamentation; and he observed seven days of mourning for his father.Now when the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites, saw the mourning at the threshing floor of Atad, they said,“ This is a grievous mourning for the Egyptians.” Therefore it was named Abel mizraim, which is beyond the Jordan.And so his sons did for him as he had commanded them;for his sons carried him to the land of Canaan and buried him in the cave of the field of Machpelah opposite Mamre, which Abraham had bought along with the field as a burial site from Ephron the Hittite.And after he had buried his father, Joseph returned to Egypt, he and his brothers, and all who had gone up with him to bury his father.

Then Joseph went in and told Pharaoh, and said,“ My father and my brothers and their flocks and their herds and all that they have, have come out of the land of Canaan; and behold, they are in the land of Goshen.”And he took five men from among his brothers and presented them to Pharaoh.Then Pharaoh said to his brothers,“ What is your occupation?” So they said to Pharaoh,“ Your servants are shepherds, both we and our fathers.”They also said to Pharaoh,“ We have come to reside in the land, for there is no pasture for your servants’ flocks, for the famine is severe in the land of Canaan. Now, therefore, please let your servants live in the land of Goshen.”Then Pharaoh said to Joseph,“ Your father and your brothers have come to you.The land of Egypt is at your disposal; settle your father and your brothers in the best of the land, let them live in the land of Goshen; and if you know any capable men among them, then put them in charge of my livestock.”Then Joseph brought his father Jacob and presented him to Pharaoh; and Jacob blessed Pharaoh.And Pharaoh said to Jacob,“ How many years have you lived?”So Jacob said to Pharaoh,“ The years of my living abroad are 130; few and unpleasant have been the years of my life, nor have they attained the years that my fathers lived during the days of their living abroad.”So Jacob blessed Pharaoh, and went out from his presence.Now Joseph settled his father and his brothers and gave them property in the land of Egypt, in the best of the land, in the land of Rameses, as Pharaoh had ordered.Joseph also provided his father and his brothers and all his father’s household with food, according to the number of their little ones.Now there was no food in all the land, because the famine was very severe, so that the land of Egypt and the land of Canaan languished because of the famine.And Joseph collected all the money that was found in the land of Egypt and in the land of Canaan in payment for the grain which they bought, and Joseph brought the money into Pharaoh’s house.When the money was all spent in the land of Egypt and in the land of Canaan, all the Egyptians came to Joseph saying,“ Give us food, for why should we die in your presence? For our money is gone.”Then Joseph said,“ Give up your livestock, and I will give you food for your livestock, since your money is gone.”So they brought their livestock to Joseph, and Joseph gave them food in exchange for the horses and the flocks and the herds and the donkeys; and he fed them with food in exchange for all their livestock that year.But when that year ended, they came to him the next year and said to him,“ We will not hide from my lord the fact that our money is all spent, and the livestock are my lord’s. There is nothing left for my lord except our bodies and our lands.Why should we die before your eyes, both we and our land? Buy us and our land for food, and we and our land will be slaves to Pharaoh. So give us seed, so that we may live and not die, and that the land may not be desolate.”So Joseph bought all the land of Egypt for Pharaoh, for every Egyptian sold his field, because the famine was severe upon them. So the land became Pharaoh’s.As for the people, he relocated them to the cities from one end of Egypt’s border to the other.Only the land of the priests he did not buy, because the priests had an allotment from Pharaoh, and they lived off the allotment which Pharaoh gave them. Therefore, they did not sell their land.Then Joseph said to the people,“ Behold, today I have purchased you and your land for Pharaoh; now, here is seed for you, and you may sow the land.At the harvest you shall give a fifth to Pharaoh, and four fifths shall be your own for seed of the field and for your food, and for those of your households and as food for your little ones.”So they said,“ You have saved our lives! Let us find favor in the sight of my lord, and we will be Pharaoh’s slaves.”Joseph made it a statute concerning the land of Egypt, valid to this day, that Pharaoh was to have the fifth; only the land of the priests did not become Pharaoh’s.Now Israel lived in the land of Egypt, in Goshen, and they acquired property in it and were fruitful and became very numerous.And Jacob lived in the land of Egypt for seventeen years; so the length of Jacob’s life was 147 years.When the time for Israel to die drew near, he called his son Joseph and said to him,“ Please, if I have found favor in your sight, place your hand under my thigh now and deal with me in kindness and faithfulness: please do not bury me in Egypt,but when I lie down with my fathers, you shall carry me out of Egypt and bury me in their burial place.” And he said,“ I will do as you have said.”And he said,“ Swear to me.” So he swore to him. Then Israel bowed in worship at the head of the bed.

“ Joseph is a fruitful branch, A fruitful branch by a spring; Its branches hang over a wall.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),From the God of your father who helps you, And by the Almighty who blesses you With blessings of heaven above, Blessings of the deep that lies beneath, Blessings of the breasts and of the womb.The blessings of your father Have surpassed the blessings of my ancestors Up to the furthest boundary of the everlasting hills; May they be on the head of Joseph, And on the top of the head of the one distinguished among his brothers.“ Benjamin is a ravenous wolf; In the morning he devours the prey, And in the evening he divides the spoils.”

The sons of Benjamin by their families: of Bela, the family of the Belaites; of Ashbel, the family of the Ashbelites; of Ahiram, the family of the Ahiramites;of Shephupham, the family of the Shuphamites; of Hupham, the family of the Huphamites.The sons of Bela were Ard and Naaman: of Ard, the family of the Ardites; of Naaman, the family of the Naamites.These are the sons of Benjamin by their families; and those who were numbered of them were 45,600.

And she named him Joseph, saying,“ May the Lord give me another son.”

Of the sons of Benjamin, their descendants by their families, by their fathers’ households, according to the number of names, from twenty years old and upward, whoever was able to go to war,their numbered men of the tribe of Benjamin were 35,400.

Now Joseph had been taken down to Egypt; and Potiphar, an Egyptian officer of Pharaoh, the captain of the bodyguard, bought him from the Ishmaelites, who had taken him down there.And the Lord was with Joseph, so he became a successful man. And he was in the house of his master, the Egyptian.Now his master saw that the Lord was with him and that the Lord made all that he did prosper in his hand.So Joseph found favor in his sight and became his personal servant; and he made him overseer over his house, and put him in charge of all that he owned.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.So he left Joseph in charge of everything that he owned; and with him there he did not concern himself with anything except the food which he ate. Now Joseph was handsome in form and appearance.And it came about after these events that his master’s wife had her eyes on Joseph, and she said,“ Sleep with me.”But he refused and said to his master’s wife,“ Look, with me here, my master does not concern himself with anything in the house, and he has put me in charge of all that he owns.There is no one greater in this house than I, and he has withheld nothing from me except you, because you are his wife. How then could I do this great evil, and sin against God?”Though she spoke to Joseph day after day, he did not listen to her to lie beside her or be with her.Now it happened one day that he went into the house to do his work, and none of the people of the household was there inside.So she grabbed him by his garment, saying,“ Sleep with me!” But he left his garment in her hand and fled, and went outside.When she saw that he had left his garment in her hand and had fled outside,she called to the men of her household and said to them,“ See, he has brought in a Hebrew to us to make fun of us; he came in to me to sleep with me, and I screamed.When he heard that I raised my voice and screamed, he left his garment beside me and fled and went outside.”So she left his garment beside her until his master came home.Then she spoke to him with these words:“ The Hebrew slave, whom you brought to us, came in to me to make fun of me;but when I raised my voice and screamed, he left his garment beside me and fled outside.”Now when his master heard the words of his wife which she spoke to him, saying,“ This is what your slave did to me,” his anger burned.So Joseph’s master took him and put him into the prison, the place where the king’s prisoners were confined; and he was there in the prison.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.Then it came about after these things, that the cupbearer and the baker for the king of Egypt offended their lord, the king of Egypt.And Pharaoh was furious with his two officials, the chief cupbearer and the chief baker.So he put them in confinement in the house of the captain of the bodyguard, in the prison, the same place where Joseph was imprisoned.And the captain of the bodyguard put Joseph in charge of them, and he took care of them; and they were in confinement for some time.Then the cupbearer and the baker for the king of Egypt, who were confined in the prison, both had a dream the same night, each man with his own dream and each dream with its own interpretation.When Joseph came to them in the morning and saw them, behold, they were dejected.So he asked Pharaoh’s officials who were with him in confinement in his master’s house,“ Why are your faces so sad today?”And they said to him,“ We have had a dream, and there is no one to interpret it.” Then Joseph said to them,“ Do interpretations not belong to God? Tell it to me, please.”So the chief cupbearer told his dream to Joseph, saying to him,“ In my dream, behold, there was a vine in front of me;and on the vine were three branches. And as it was budding, its blossoms came out, and its clusters produced ripe grapes.Now Pharaoh’s cup was in my hand; so I took the grapes and squeezed them into Pharaoh’s cup, and I put the cup into Pharaoh’s hand.”Then Joseph said to him,“ This is the interpretation of it: the three branches are three days;within three more days Pharaoh will lift up your head and restore you to your office; and you will put Pharaoh’s cup into his hand as in your former practice when you were his cupbearer.Only keep me in mind when it goes well for you, and please do me a kindness by mentioning me to Pharaoh, and get me out of this prison.For I was in fact kidnapped from the land of the Hebrews, and even here I have done nothing that they should have put me into the dungeon.”When the chief baker saw that he had interpreted favorably, he said to Joseph,“ I also saw in my dream, and behold, there were three baskets of white bread on my head;and in the top basket there were some of all kinds of baked food for Pharaoh, and the birds were eating them out of the basket on my head.”Then Joseph answered and said,“ This is its interpretation: the three baskets are three days;within three more days Pharaoh will lift up your head from you and will hang you on a wooden post, and the birds will eat your flesh off you.”So it came about on the third day, which was Pharaoh’s birthday, that he held a feast for all his servants; and he lifted up the head of the chief cupbearer and the head of the chief baker among his servants.He restored the chief cupbearer to his office, and he put the cup into Pharaoh’s hand;but he hanged the chief baker, just as Joseph had interpreted to them.Yet the chief cupbearer did not remember Joseph, but forgot him.

Of Benjamin he said,“ May the beloved of the Lord live in security beside Him Who shields him all the day long, And he lives between His shoulders.”Of Joseph he said,“ Blessed of the Lord be his land, With the choice things of heaven, with the dew, And from the deep waters lying beneath,And with the choice yield of the sun, And the choice produce of the months;And with the best things of the ancient mountains, With the choice things of the everlasting hills,And with the choice things of the earth and its fullness, And the favor of Him who dwelt in the bush. Let it come to the head of Joseph, And to the top of the head of the one who was prince among his brothers.As the firstborn of his ox, majesty is his, And his horns are the horns of the wild ox; With them he will gore the peoples All at once, to the ends of the earth. And those are the ten thousands of Ephraim, And those are the thousands of Manasseh.”

the sons of Rachel were Joseph and Benjamin;

Issachar, Zebulun, and Benjamin;

Then they journeyed on from Bethel; but when there was still some distance to go to Ephrath, Rachel began to give birth and she suffered severe difficulties in her labor.And when she was suffering severe difficulties in her labor, the midwife said to her,“ Do not fear, for you have another son!”And it came about, as her soul was departing( for she died), that she named him Ben oni; but his father called him Benjamin.

All the people who descended from Jacob were seventy people, but Joseph was already in Egypt.
