“ Because the patriarchs were jealous of Joseph, they sold him as a slave into Egypt. But God was with him

“ The patriarchs became jealous of Joseph and sold him into Egypt, but God was with him

And the patriarchs, moved with envy, sold Joseph into Egypt: but God was with him,

The patriarchs, because they were jealous of Joseph, sold him into Egypt. But God was with him,

Yahweh was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man. He was in the house of his master the Egyptian.

Joseph said to his brothers,“ Come near to me, please.” They came near. He said,“ I am Joseph, your brother, whom you sold into Egypt.

He sent a man before them. Joseph was sold for a slave.

But Yahweh was with Joseph, and showed kindness to him, and gave him favor in the sight of the keeper of the prison.The keeper of the prison committed to Joseph’s hand all the prisoners who were in the prison. Whatever they did there, he was responsible for it.The keeper of the prison didn’t look after anything that was under his hand, because Yahweh was with him; and that which he did, Yahweh made it prosper.

His brothers saw that their father loved him more than all his brothers, and they hated him, and couldn’t speak peaceably to him.Joseph dreamed a dream, and he told it to his brothers, and they hated him all the more.He said to them,“ Please hear this dream which I have dreamed:for behold, we were binding sheaves in the field, and behold, my sheaf arose and also stood upright; and behold, your sheaves came around, and bowed down to my sheaf.”His brothers asked him,“ Will you indeed reign over us? Will you indeed have dominion over us?” They hated him all the more for his dreams and for his words.He dreamed yet another dream, and told it to his brothers, and said,“ Behold, I have dreamed yet another dream: and behold, the sun and the moon and eleven stars bowed down to me.”He told it to his father and to his brothers. His father rebuked him, and said to him,“ What is this dream that you have dreamed? Will I and your mother and your brothers indeed come to bow ourselves down to you to the earth?”His brothers envied him, but his father kept this saying in mind.

From the time that he made him overseer in his house, and over all that he had, Yahweh blessed the Egyptian’s house for Joseph’s sake. Yahweh’s blessing was on all that he had, in the house and in the field.

The archers have severely grieved him, shot at him, and persecuted him:But his bow remained strong. The arms of his hands were made strong, by the hands of the Mighty One of Jacob,( from there is the shepherd, the stone of Israel),

When Joseph’s brothers saw that their father was dead, they said,“ It may be that Joseph will hate us, and will fully pay us back for all the evil which we did to him.”They sent a message to Joseph, saying,“ Your father commanded before he died, saying,‘ You shall tell Joseph,“ Now please forgive the disobedience of your brothers, and their sin, because they did evil to you.”’ Now, please forgive the disobedience of the servants of the God of your father.” Joseph wept when they spoke to him.His brothers also went and fell down before his face; and they said,“ Behold, we are your servants.”Joseph said to them,“ Don’t be afraid, for am I in the place of God?As for you, you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good, to save many people alive, as is happening today.

When you pass through the waters, I will be with you, and through the rivers, they will not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned, and flame will not scorch you.

Don’t you be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you. Yes, I will help you. Yes, I will uphold you with the right hand of my righteousness.

They saw him afar off, and before he came near to them, they conspired against him to kill him.They said to one another,“ Behold, this dreamer comes.Come now therefore, and let’s kill him, and cast him into one of the pits, and we will say,‘ An evil animal has devoured him.’ We will see what will become of his dreams.”Reuben heard it, and delivered him out of their hand, and said,“ Let’s not take his life.”Reuben said to them,“ Shed no blood. Throw him into this pit that is in the wilderness, but lay no hand on him”— that he might deliver him out of their hand, to restore him to his father.When Joseph came to his brothers, they stripped Joseph of his tunic, the tunic of many colors that was on him;and they took him, and threw him into the pit. The pit was empty. There was no water in it.They sat down to eat bread, and they lifted up their eyes and looked, and saw a caravan of Ishmaelites was coming from Gilead, with their camels bearing spices and balm and myrrh, going to carry it down to Egypt.Judah said to his brothers,“ What profit is it if we kill our brother and conceal his blood?Come, and let’s sell him to the Ishmaelites, and not let our hand be on him; for he is our brother, our flesh.” His brothers listened to him.Midianites who were merchants passed by, and they drew and lifted up Joseph out of the pit, and sold Joseph to the Ishmaelites for twenty pieces of silver. The merchants brought Joseph into Egypt.Reuben returned to the pit, and saw that Joseph wasn’t in the pit; and he tore his clothes.

For he knew that because of envy they had delivered him up.
