Acts 7:10-21

¹⁰and rescued him from all his troubles. He gave Joseph favor and wisdom in the presence of Pharaoh, king of Egypt, who had made him governor over Egypt and over all his household.

¹¹Now there came a famine over all Egypt and Canaan, and great suffering, and our fathers could find no food.

¹²But when Jacob heard that there was grain in Egypt, he sent out our fathers on their first trip.

¹³On their second trip Joseph made himself known to his brothers, and Joseph's family became known to Pharaoh.

¹⁴Joseph sent his brothers back to tell Jacob his father to come to Egypt, along with all his relatives, seventy-five persons in all.

¹⁵So Jacob went down into Egypt, and he died, he and our fathers.

¹⁶They were carried over to Shechem and laid in the tomb that Abraham had bought for a price in silver from the sons of Hamor in Shechem.

¹⁷As the time of the promise approached, the promise that God had made to Abraham, the people grew and multiplied in Egypt,

¹⁸until there arose another king over Egypt, a king who did not know about Joseph.

¹⁹He deceived our people and forced our fathers to expose their newborn infants so they would not be kept alive.

²⁰At that time Moses was born; he was very beautiful before God and was nourished for three months in his father's house.

²¹When he was placed outside, Pharaoh's daughter adopted him and raised him as her own son.
