Joseph said to his father, “Not so, my father, for this is the firstborn. Put your right hand on his head.”

So he returned to Judah and said, “I couldn’t find her. Moreover, the men of the place said, ‘There has been no cult prostitute here.’”

So the sons of Israel did as he said. Joseph gave them wagons as Pharaoh had instructed, and he gave them provisions for the journey.

Why did you say, ‘She is my sister,’ so that I took her to be my wife? Here is your wife! Take her and go!”

So he went and got the goats and brought them to his mother. She prepared some tasty food, just the way his father loved it.

Jacob looked up and saw that Esau was coming along with four hundred men. So he divided the children among Leah, Rachel, and the two female servants.

When Jacob heard that Shechem had violated his daughter Dinah, his sons were with the livestock in the field. So Jacob remained silent until they came in.

So the men took these gifts, and they took double the money with them, along with Benjamin. Then they hurried down to Egypt and stood before Joseph.

So now, don’t be afraid. I will provide for you and your little children.” Then he consoled them and spoke kindly to them.

Come, let’s go down and confuse their language so they won’t be able to understand each other.”

Pharaoh gave his men orders about Abram, and so they expelled him, along with his wife and all his possessions.

He restored the chief cupbearer to his former position so that he placed the cup in Pharaoh’s hand,

Jacob sent Judah before him to Joseph to accompany him to Goshen. So they came to the land of Goshen.

So Joseph moved them from Israel’s knees and bowed down with his face to the ground.

So after Abram had lived in Canaan for ten years, Sarai, Abram’s wife, gave Hagar, her Egyptian servant, to her husband to be his wife.

So Jacob went over to his father Isaac, who felt him and said, “The voice is Jacob’s, but the hands are Esau’s.”
