10And deliuered him out of all his afflictions, and gaue him fauour and wisdome in the sight of Pharao King of Egypt, who made him gouernour ouer Egypt, and ouer his whole house.
11Then came there a famine ouer all the land of Egypt and Chanaan, and great affliction, that our fathers found no sustenance.
12But when Iacob heard that there was corne in Egypt, he sent our fathers first:
13And at the second time, Ioseph was knowen of his brethren, and Iosephs kindred was made knowen vnto Pharao.
14Then sent Ioseph and caused his father to be brought, and all his kindred, euen threescore and fifteene soules.
15So Iacob went downe into Egypt, and he dyed, and our fathers,
16And were remoued into Sychem, and were put in the sepulchre, that Abraham had bought for money of the sonnes of Emor, sonne of Sychem.
17But when the time of the promise drewe neere, which God had sworne to Abraham, the people grewe and multiplied in Egypt,
18Till another King arose, which knewe not Ioseph.
19The same dealt subtilly with our kindred, and euill entreated our fathers, and made them to cast out their yong children, that they should not remaine aliue.
20The same time was Moses borne, and was acceptable vnto God, which was nourished vp in his fathers house three moneths.
21And when he was cast out, Pharaohs daughter tooke him vp, and nourished him for her owne sonne.
