12When Jacob heard people report that there was grain/food that people could buy in Egypt, he sent Joseph's older brothers to go there to buy grain. They went and bought grain from Joseph, but they did not recognize him. Then they returned home.
13When Joseph's brothers went to Egypt the second time, they again bought grain from Joseph. But this time he told them who he was. And people told Pharaoh that Joseph's people were Hebrews and that those men who had come from Canaan were his brothers.
14Then after Joseph sent his brothers back home, they told their father Jacob that Joseph wanted him and his entire family to come to Egypt. At that time ◄ Jacob's family consisted of seventy-five people/there were seventy-five people in Jacob's family► SYN.
15So when Jacob heard that, he and all his family went to live in Egypt.” Acts 7:15b-16 “ Later on, Jacob died there, and our other ancestors, his sons, also died there.
16But the bodies of Jacob and Joseph were brought { they brought the bodies of Jacob and Joseph} back to our land, and Jacob's body was buried {they buried Jacob's body} in the tomb that Abraham had bought, and they buried Joseph's body in Shechem in the ground that Jacob had bought from Hamor's sons.”
17“Our ancestors had become very numerous when it was almost time for God to rescue them from Egypt, as he had promised Abraham that he would do.
18Another king had begun to rule in Egypt. He did not know that Joseph, long before that time, had greatly helped the people of Egypt MTY.
19That king cruelly tried to get rid of our ancestors. He oppressed them and caused them to suffer greatly. He even commanded them to leave their baby boys outside their homes so that they would die.”
20“During that time Moses was born, and he was a very beautiful LIT child. So his parents secretly cared for him in their house for three months.
21Then they had to put him outside the house, but Pharaoh's daughter found him and adopted him and cared for him as though he were her own son.
