以實馬利人攜約瑟至埃及。鬻於法老臣侍衛長波提乏。約瑟於埃及家為僕、耶和華祐之、使之亨通。厥主見耶和華祐之、所為無不亨通。故加以恩、使常侍左右、統轄全業、悉以所有歸其掌握。嗣後耶和華為約瑟故、錫嘏於其主、凡在室在田、咸蒙其祉。主悉以所有、歸約瑟掌握、於己所食外、不知有長物。約瑟丰采甚都。久之、主母目約瑟曰、與我偕寢。約瑟不從、曰、主已不與家事、以凡所有、歸我掌握。家之中我為督、我有作為、主不禁禦、但汝乃其妻、我不可犯。安可自干元惡、獲罪於上帝。婦日誘之、約瑟不聽、非惟不與同寢、亦不與共在。一日入室治事、旁無侍從、主母執其衣、曰、與我同寢。約瑟棄衣而遁。主母見其遁、棄衣在手。則呼家人曰、主使希百來人至此、辱及我儕、適入室中、欲我薦寢、我厲聲號呼。彼聽我聲甚厲、棄衣而遁。婦存其衣、以待主歸。既至、則告曰、爾所得之希百來僕、入以辱我。我厲聲號呼、彼方棄衣而奔。主聞妻言、知僕行是、則怒甚。執約瑟下囹圄。其地為犯王章者所幽囚之處。約瑟既下獄、蒙耶和華祐、特矜恤之、令沾恩於司獄。司獄以獄囚悉畀約瑟掌理、獄中所為、惟約瑟是問。司獄不自理獄事、悉歸約瑟、蓋耶和華祐約瑟、凡其所行、無不亨通、

雅各居迦南、即父所旅之地、其畧如左、約瑟年十有七、偕兄牧羊、少時、與庶母辟拉悉帕所出者為侶、以其過告父。以色列之生約瑟也、年已邁矣、故愛之過於諸子、為製彩衣。諸兄見父愛約瑟過於己、故憾之、不以善言相加。○約瑟有夢、述於諸兄、由此諸兄銜憾益深。約瑟曰、我所夢者、請聽之。我儕於田束禾、我所束者、起而立、爾所束者、環而拜。諸兄曰、爾果將統轄我乎、抑治理我乎、故因其夢與言而益憾。約瑟復夢、告諸兄曰、我夢得其二矣、有日月十一星、皆拜我。約瑟以此夢告父兄時、父叱之曰、爾所夢者何與、我與汝母汝兄、果將俯伏爾前乎。父誌其事、兄嫉約瑟。○諸兄往示劍、牧父群畜。以色列語約瑟曰、來、爾兄牧於示劍、吾將遣爾。曰、我在此。曰、往觀諸兄、及牲畜、可皆無恙乎、爾返告我。遂遣之、自希伯崙谷至示劍。○躑躅田間、或遇之、曰、爾何求耶。曰、求我兄、彼牧羊何所、請告我。曰、已去此矣、我聞其言、將往多丹。約瑟追之果在多丹。未至、諸兄遙見、共謀殺之。相語曰、作夢者來矣。莫若殺之、棄於井、流言為惡獸所食、後觀其夢果驗否。流便聞之、欲救約瑟、曰、莫傷其命。流便欲援之歸父、故曰、勿流其血、勿害其身、曠野有井、投之於中可也。○約瑟至、兄褫其彩衣、投諸眢井、遂坐食餅、遙見以實馬利人、成隊以至、驅群駝負香料乳香沒藥、自基列來、欲往埃及。猶大謂諸兄曰、殺弟而匿其血、何益之有、此乃我手足之親、毋戕其生。莫若鬻與以實馬利人。兄弟允之。以實馬利人素居米田、為賈於外、將經其處、諸兄乃援約瑟出井、鬻之於賈、獲金二十。以實馬利人挈約瑟往埃及。○後流便至井、窺約瑟不在、遂裂己衣、返見諸弟曰、童子不在、我將何歸。諸昆弟宰山羊之羔、濡約瑟衣於血、遣人攜衣歸父曰、我儕得此、試觀果爾子之衣否。雅各視之曰、誠吾子之衣也、是必為惡獸所食、肢體斷傷、無疑矣。雅各遂裂己衣、衣麻慘傷、幾歷歲月。子女群來相勸、父不受慰、曰、我必悲哀、至於幽冥、就子乃已、父之痛子如此。米田賈攜約瑟至埃及、鬻與法老臣侍衛長波提乏。

約瑟如蔥蘢之樹、植於泉旁、其枝蔓延踰垣。昔約瑟為矢人所困、爭競而窘遂之。恃以色列有力之牧者、即雅各有能之上帝、故其弓仍勁、其手尚強。爾父之上帝、眷祐於爾、全能之主、錫嘏於爾、天上之繁祉、地下之名泉、產育乳哺之福。爾父之福、恆久不已、勝於亙古山嶽所出之寶物、昔約瑟遠兄弟而去、此福必歸其首。

約瑟在埃及、娶安之祭司波提非拉女亞西納、生馬拿西、以法蓮。

乃命名約瑟、曰、耶和華必復賜子。

厥後、或告約瑟曰、爾父有疾。約瑟攜二子、馬拿西、以法蓮至。或告雅各曰、爾子約瑟來見。以色列強坐於床、謂約瑟曰、昔在迦南之路斯、全能上帝顯現。錫嘏於我、曰、我必使爾生育眾多、為群族祖、以斯土錫爾、爰及苗裔、以為恆業。我未至埃及、爾所生二子以法蓮、馬拿西、當視為吾子、比之流便、西面。嗣後有所生、則為爾子、必與兄弟共其業。昔我自巴坦至迦南、途間、去以法大無幾、拉結死、我葬之以法大途側、後名伯利恆即其地。○以色列見約瑟二子、曰、此為誰。約瑟曰、蒙上帝於斯土、賜我二子。曰、可攜之前、我為祝嘏。以色列年邁、目眯不明、約瑟攜子於前、以色列吻而抱之、謂約瑟曰、吾不意覿爾面、上帝復使睹爾子。約瑟令二子暫離膝前、而自拜伏於地。後攜二子、右執以法蓮、向以色列左、左執馬拿西、向以色列右、如是而前。以色列以右手按季子以法蓮首、左手按長子馬拿西首、非出無意。為約瑟二子祝嘏、曰、昔我祖父亞伯拉罕以撒所崇事之上帝、我生及今牧我之上帝、拯我出患難之天使、願錫嘏童蒙、當為吾子、為吾祖父亞伯拉罕以撒子孫、使昌熾於地。○約瑟見父以右手按以法蓮首、意有不悅、乃舉父手、欲自以法蓮首、移於馬拿西首、曰、吾父不可、此乃長子、請按右手於其首。父不許、曰、吾子、我知之矣。此子亦將昌大、為一族之祖、惟季必超越於長、其裔必為群族祖。是日以色列為二子祝嘏、曰、斯後以色列族將為人祝曰、願上帝使爾福祉、若以法蓮、馬拿西然。於是立以法蓮於馬拿西之先。○以色列語約瑟曰、我死期將至、上帝必祐爾、使爾返於爾祖所旅之處。昔我以刃以弓、奪亞摩哩人之地、必以頒爾、較諸昆為尤多。

西方有以法蓮之纛、及其軍旅、亞米忽子以利沙馬為以法蓮牧伯、能臨陳者、計四萬有五百。
