Now Joseph had been taken down to Egypt. And Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh, captain of the guard, an Egyptian, bought him from the Ishmaelites who had taken him down there.The Lord was with Joseph, and he was a successful 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 he did to prosper in his hand.So Joseph found favor in his sight, and served him. Then he made him overseer of his house, and all that he had he put under his authority.So it was, from the time that he had made him overseer of his house and all that he had, that the Lord blessed the Egyptian’s house for Joseph’s sake; and the blessing of the Lord was on all that he had in the house and in the field.Thus he left all that he had in Joseph’s hand, and he did not know what he had except for the bread which he ate. Now Joseph was handsome in form and appearance.And it came to pass after these things that his master’s wife cast longing eyes on Joseph, and she said,“ Lie with me.”But he refused and said to his master’s wife,“ Look, my master does not know what is with me in the house, and he has committed all that he has to my hand.There is no one greater in this house than I, nor has he kept back anything from me but you, because you are his wife. How then can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God?”So it was, as she spoke to Joseph day by day, that he did not heed her, to lie with her or to be with her.But it happened about this time, when Joseph went into the house to do his work, and none of the men of the house was inside,that she caught him by his garment, saying,“ Lie with me.” But he left his garment in her hand, and fled and ran outside.And so it was, when she saw that he had left his garment in her hand and fled outside,that she called to the men of her house and spoke to them, saying,“ See, he has brought in to us a Hebrew to mock us. He came in to me to lie with me, and I cried out with a loud voice.And it happened, when he heard that I lifted my voice and cried out, that he left his garment with me, and fled and went outside.”So she kept his garment with her until his master came home.Then she spoke to him with words like these, saying,“ The Hebrew servant whom you brought to us came in to me to mock me;so it happened, as I lifted my voice and cried out, that he left his garment with me and fled outside.”So it was, when his master heard the words which his wife spoke to him, saying,“ Your servant did to me after this manner,” that his anger was aroused.Then Joseph’s master took him and put him into the prison, a place where the king’s prisoners were confined. And he was there in the prison.But the Lord was with Joseph and showed him mercy, and He gave him favor in the sight of the keeper of the prison.And the keeper of the prison committed to Joseph’s hand all the prisoners who were in the prison; whatever they did there, it was his doing.The keeper of the prison did not look into anything that was under Joseph’s authority, because the Lord was with him; and whatever he did, the Lord made it prosper.

Now Jacob dwelt in the land where his father was a stranger, in the land of Canaan.This is the history of Jacob. Joseph, being seventeen years old, was feeding the flock with his brothers. And the lad was with the sons of Bilhah and the sons of Zilpah, his father’s wives; and Joseph brought a bad report of them to his father.Now Israel loved Joseph more than all his children, because he was the son of his old age. Also he made him a tunic of many colors.But when his brothers saw that their father loved him more than all his brothers, they hated him and could not speak peaceably to him.Now Joseph had a dream, and he told it to his brothers; and they hated him even more.So he said to them,“ Please hear this dream which I have dreamed:There we were, binding sheaves in the field. Then behold, my sheaf arose and also stood upright; and indeed your sheaves stood all around and bowed down to my sheaf.”And his brothers said to him,“ Shall you indeed reign over us? Or shall you indeed have dominion over us?” So they hated him even more for his dreams and for his words.Then he dreamed still another dream and told it to his brothers, and said,“ Look, I have dreamed another dream. And this time, the sun, the moon, and the eleven stars bowed down to me.”So he told it to his father and his brothers; and his father rebuked him and said to him,“ What is this dream that you have dreamed? Shall your mother and I and your brothers indeed come to bow down to the earth before you?”And his brothers envied him, but his father kept the matter in mind.Then his brothers went to feed their father’s flock in Shechem.And Israel said to Joseph,“ Are not your brothers feeding the flock in Shechem? Come, I will send you to them.” So he said to him,“ Here I am.”Then he said to him,“ Please go and see if it is well with your brothers and well with the flocks, and bring back word to me.” So he sent him out of the Valley of Hebron, and he went to Shechem.Now a certain man found him, and there he was, wandering in the field. And the man asked him, saying,“ What are you seeking?”So he said,“ I am seeking my brothers. Please tell me where they are feeding their flocks.”And the man said,“ They have departed from here, for I heard them say,‘ Let us go to Dothan.’” So Joseph went after his brothers and found them in Dothan.Now when they saw him afar off, even before he came near them, they conspired against him to kill him.Then they said to one another,“ Look, this dreamer is coming!Come therefore, let us now kill him and cast him into some pit; and we shall say,‘ Some wild beast has devoured him.’ We shall see what will become of his dreams!”But Reuben heard it, and he delivered him out of their hands, and said,“ Let us not kill him.”And Reuben said to them,“ Shed no blood, but cast him into this pit which is in the wilderness, and do not lay a hand on him”— that he might deliver him out of their hands, and bring him back to his father.So it came to pass, when Joseph had come to his brothers, that they stripped Joseph of his tunic, the tunic of many colors that was on him.Then 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 a meal. Then they lifted their eyes and looked, and there was a company of Ishmaelites, coming from Gilead with their camels, bearing spices, balm, and myrrh, on their way to carry them down to Egypt.So Judah said to his brothers,“ What profit is there if we kill our brother and conceal his blood?Come and let us sell him to the Ishmaelites, and let not our hand be upon him, for he is our brother and our flesh.” And his brothers listened.Then Midianite traders passed by; so the brothers pulled Joseph up and lifted him out of the pit, and sold him to the Ishmaelites for twenty shekels of silver. And they took Joseph to Egypt.Then Reuben returned to the pit, and indeed Joseph was not in the pit; and he tore his clothes.And he returned to his brothers and said,“ The lad is no more; and I, where shall I go?”So they took Joseph’s tunic, killed a kid of the goats, and dipped the tunic in the blood.Then they sent the tunic of many colors, and they brought it to their father and said,“ We have found this. Do you know whether it is your son’s tunic or not?”And he recognized it and said,“ It is my son’s tunic. A wild beast has devoured him. Without doubt Joseph is torn to pieces.”Then Jacob tore his clothes, put sackcloth on his waist, and mourned for his son many days.And all his sons and all his daughters arose to comfort him; but he refused to be comforted, and he said,“ For I shall go down into the grave to my son in mourning.” Thus his father wept for him.Now the Midianites had sold him in Egypt to Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh and captain of the guard.

“ Joseph is a fruitful bough, A fruitful bough by a well; His branches run over the wall.The archers have bitterly grieved him, Shot at him and hated him.But his bow remained in strength, And the arms of his hands were made strong By the hands of the Mighty God of Jacob( From there is the Shepherd, the Stone of Israel),By the God of your father who will help you, And by the Almighty who will bless 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 excelled the blessings of my ancestors, Up to the utmost bound of the everlasting hills. They shall be on the head of Joseph, And on the crown of the head of him who was separate from his brothers.

And to Joseph in the land of Egypt were born Manasseh and Ephraim, whom Asenath, the daughter of Poti-Pherah priest of On, bore to him.

So she called his name Joseph, and said,“ The Lord shall add to me another son.”

Now it came to pass after these things that Joseph was told,“ Indeed your father is sick”; and he took with him his two sons, Manasseh and Ephraim.And Jacob was told,“ Look, your son Joseph is coming to you”; and Israel strengthened himself and sat up on the bed.Then Jacob said to Joseph:“ God Almighty appeared to me at Luz in the land of Canaan and blessed me,and said to me,‘ Behold, I will make you fruitful and multiply you, and I will make of you a multitude of people, and give this land to your descendants after you as an everlasting possession.’And now your two sons, Ephraim and Manasseh, who were born to you in the land of Egypt before I came to you in Egypt, are mine; as Reuben and Simeon, they shall be mine.Your offspring whom you beget after them shall be yours; they will be called by the name of their brothers in their inheritance.But as for me, when I came from Padan, Rachel died beside me in the land of Canaan on the way, when there was but a little distance to go to Ephrath; and I buried her there on the way to Ephrath( that is, Bethlehem).”Then Israel saw Joseph’s sons, and said,“ Who are these?”Joseph said to his father,“ They are my sons, whom God has given me in this place.” And he said,“ Please bring them to me, and I will bless them.”Now the eyes of Israel were dim with age, so that he could not see. Then Joseph brought them near him, and he kissed them and embraced them.And Israel said to Joseph,“ I had not thought to see your face; but in fact, God has also shown me your offspring!”So Joseph brought them from beside his knees, and he bowed down with his face to the earth.And Joseph took them both, Ephraim with his right hand toward Israel’s left hand, and Manasseh with his left hand toward Israel’s right hand, and brought them near him.Then Israel stretched out his right hand and laid it on Ephraim’s head, who was the younger, and his left hand on Manasseh’s head, guiding his hands knowingly, for Manasseh was the firstborn.And he blessed Joseph, and said:“ God, before whom my fathers Abraham and Isaac walked, The God who has fed me all my life long to this day,The Angel who has redeemed me from all evil, Bless the lads; Let my name be named upon them, And the name of my fathers Abraham and Isaac; And let them grow into a multitude in the midst of the earth.”Now when Joseph saw that his father laid his right hand on the head of Ephraim, it displeased him; so he took hold of his father’s hand to remove it from Ephraim’s head to Manasseh’s head.And Joseph said to his father,“ Not so, my father, for 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 also shall become a people, and he also shall be great; but truly his younger brother shall be greater than he, and his descendants shall become a multitude of nations.”So he blessed them that day, saying,“ By you Israel will bless, saying,‘ May God make you as Ephraim and as Manasseh!’” And thus he set Ephraim before Manasseh.Then Israel said to Joseph,“ Behold, I am dying, but God will be with you and bring you back to the land of your fathers.Moreover I have given to you one portion above your brothers, which I took from the hand of the Amorite with my sword and my bow.”

“ On the west side shall be the standard of the forces with Ephraim according to their armies, and the leader of the children of Ephraim shall be Elishama the son of Ammihud.”And his army was numbered at forty thousand five hundred.
