“ Then your servant my father said to us,‘ You know that my wife gave me two sons.

Since Jacob had fallen in love with Rachel, he said,“ I’ll serve you seven years in exchange for your younger daughter Rachel.”

Dan, Joseph, and Benjamin; Naphtali, Gad, and Asher.

But Jacob lived in the land where his father had stayed, in the land of Canaan.This is the account of Jacob. Joseph, his seventeen-year-old son, was taking care of the flocks with his brothers. Now he was a youngster working with the sons of Bilhah and Zilpah, his father’s wives. Joseph brought back a bad report about them to their father.Now Israel loved Joseph more than all his sons because he was a son born to him late in life, and he made a special tunic for him.When Joseph’s brothers saw that their father loved him more than any of them, they hated Joseph and were not able to speak to him kindly.Joseph had a dream, and when he told his brothers about it, they hated him even more.He said to them,“ Listen to this dream I had:There we were, binding sheaves of grain in the middle of the field. Suddenly my sheaf rose up and stood upright and your sheaves surrounded my sheaf and bowed down to it!”Then his brothers asked him,“ Do you really think you will rule over us or have dominion over us?” They hated him even more because of his dream and because of what he said.Then he had another dream, and told it to his brothers.“ Look,” he said.“ I had another dream. The sun, the moon, and eleven stars were bowing down to me.”When he told his father and his brothers, his father rebuked him, saying,“ What is this dream that you had? Will I, your mother, and your brothers really come and bow down to you?”His brothers were jealous of him, but his father kept in mind what Joseph said.When his brothers had gone to graze their father’s flocks near Shechem,Israel said to Joseph,“ Your brothers are grazing the flocks near Shechem. Come, I will send you to them.”“ I’m ready,” Joseph replied.So Jacob said to him,“ Go now and check on the welfare of your brothers and of the flocks, and bring me word.” So Jacob sent him from the valley of Hebron.When Joseph reached Shechem, a man found him wandering in the field, so the man asked him,“ What are you looking for?”He replied,“ I’m looking for my brothers. Please tell me where they are grazing their flocks.”The man said,“ They left this area, for I heard them say,‘ Let’s go to Dothan.’” So Joseph went after his brothers and found them at Dothan.Now Joseph’s brothers saw him from a distance, and before he reached them, they plotted to kill him.They said to one another,“ Here comes this master of dreams!Come now, let’s kill him, throw him into one of the cisterns, and then say that a wild animal ate him. Then we’ll see how his dreams turn out!”When Reuben heard this, he rescued Joseph from their hands, saying,“ Let’s not take his life!”Reuben continued,“ Don’t shed blood! Throw him into this cistern that is here in the wilderness, but don’t lay a hand on him.”( Reuben said this so he could rescue Joseph from them and take him back to his father.)When Joseph reached his brothers, they stripped him of his tunic, the special tunic that he wore.Then they took him and threw him into the cistern.( Now the cistern was empty; there was no water in it.)When they sat down to eat their food, they looked up and saw a caravan of Ishmaelites coming from Gilead. Their camels were carrying spices, balm, and myrrh down to Egypt.Then Judah said to his brothers,“ What profit is there if we kill our brother and cover up his blood?Come, let’s sell him to the Ishmaelites, but let’s not lay a hand on him, for after all, he is our brother, our own flesh.” His brothers agreed.So when the Midianite merchants passed by, Joseph’s brothers pulled him out of the cistern and sold him to the Ishmaelites for twenty pieces of silver. The Ishmaelites then took Joseph to Egypt.Later Reuben returned to the cistern to find that Joseph was not in it! He tore his clothes,returned to his brothers, and said,“ The boy isn’t there! And I, where can I go?”So they took Joseph’s tunic, killed a young goat, and dipped the tunic in the blood.Then they brought the special tunic to their father and said,“ We found this. Determine now whether it is your son’s tunic or not.”He recognized it and exclaimed,“ It is my son’s tunic! A wild animal has eaten him! Joseph has surely been torn to pieces!”Then Jacob tore his clothes, put on sackcloth, and mourned for his son many days.All his sons and daughters stood by him to console him, but he refused to be consoled.“ No,” he said,“ I will go to the grave mourning my son.” So Joseph’s father wept for him.Now in Egypt the Midianites sold Joseph to Potiphar, one of Pharaoh’s officials, the captain of the guard.

Then Joseph hugged his father’s face. He wept over him and kissed him.Joseph instructed the physicians in his service to embalm his father, so the physicians embalmed Israel.They took forty days, for that is the full time needed for embalming. The Egyptians mourned for him seventy days.When the days of mourning had passed, Joseph said to Pharaoh’s royal court,“ If I have found favor in your sight, please say to Pharaoh,‘ My father made me swear an oath. He said,“ I am about to die. Bury me in my tomb that I dug for myself there in the land of Canaan.” Now let me go and bury my father; then I will return.’”So Pharaoh said,“ Go and bury your father, just as he made you swear to do.”So Joseph went up to bury his father; all Pharaoh’s officials went with him– the senior courtiers of his household, all the senior officials of the land of Egypt,all Joseph’s household, his brothers, and his father’s household. But they left their little children and their flocks and herds in the land of Goshen.Chariots and horsemen also went up with him, so it was a very large entourage.When they came to the threshing floor of Atad on the other side of the Jordan, they mourned there with very great and bitter sorrow. There Joseph observed a seven day period of mourning for his father.When the Canaanites who lived in the land saw them mourning at the threshing floor of Atad, they said,“ This is a very sad occasion for the Egyptians.” That is why its name was called Abel Mizraim, which is beyond the Jordan.So the sons of Jacob did for him just as he had instructed them.His sons carried him to the land of Canaan and buried him in the cave of the field of Machpelah, near Mamre. This is the field Abraham purchased as a burial plot from Ephron the Hittite.After he buried his father, Joseph returned to Egypt, along with his brothers and all who had accompanied him to bury his father.

Joseph went and told Pharaoh,“ My father, my brothers, their flocks and herds, and all that they own have arrived from the land of Canaan. They are now in the land of Goshen.”He took five of his brothers and introduced them to Pharaoh.Pharaoh said to Joseph’s brothers,“ What is your occupation?” They said to Pharaoh,“ Your servants take care of flocks, just as our ancestors did.”Then they said to Pharaoh,“ We have come to live as temporary residents in the land. There is no pasture for your servants’ flocks because the famine is severe in the land of Canaan. So now, please let your servants live in the land of Goshen.”Pharaoh said to Joseph,“ Your father and your brothers have come to you.The land of Egypt is before you; settle your father and your brothers in the best region of the land. They may live in the land of Goshen. If you know of any highly capable men among them, put them in charge of my livestock.”Then Joseph brought in his father Jacob and presented him before Pharaoh. Jacob blessed Pharaoh.Pharaoh said to Jacob,“ How long have you lived?”Jacob said to Pharaoh,“ All the years of my travels are 130. All the years of my life have been few and painful; the years of my travels are not as long as those of my ancestors.”Then Jacob blessed Pharaoh and went out from his presence.So Joseph settled his father and his brothers. He gave them territory in the land of Egypt, in the best region of the land, the land of Rameses, just as Pharaoh had commanded.Joseph also provided food for his father, his brothers, and all his father’s household, according to the number of their little children.But there was no food in all the land because the famine was very severe; the land of Egypt and the land of Canaan wasted away because of the famine.Joseph collected all the money that could be found in the land of Egypt and in the land of Canaan as payment for the grain they were buying. Then Joseph brought the money into Pharaoh’s palace.When the money from the lands of Egypt and Canaan was used up, all the Egyptians came to Joseph and said,“ Give us food! Why should we die before your very eyes because our money has run out?”Then Joseph said,“ If your money is gone, bring your livestock, and I will give you food in exchange for your livestock.”So they brought their livestock to Joseph, and Joseph gave them food in exchange for their horses, the livestock of their flocks and herds, and their donkeys. He got them through that year by giving them food in exchange for livestock.When that year was over, they came to him the next year and said to him,“ We cannot hide from our lord that the money is used up and the livestock and the animals belong to our lord. Nothing remains before our lord except our bodies and our land.Why should we die before your very eyes, both we and our land? Buy us and our land in exchange for food, and we, with our land, will become Pharaoh’s slaves. Give us seed that we may live and not die. Then the land will not become desolate.”So Joseph bought all the land of Egypt for Pharaoh. Each of the Egyptians sold his field, for the famine was severe. So the land became Pharaoh’s.Joseph made all the people slaves from one end of Egypt’s border to the other end of it.But he did not purchase the land of the priests because the priests had an allotment from Pharaoh and they ate from their allotment that Pharaoh gave them. That is why they did not sell their land.Joseph said to the people,“ Since I have bought you and your land today for Pharaoh, here is seed for you. Cultivate the land.When you gather in the crop, give one-fifth of it to Pharaoh, and the rest will be yours for seed for the fields and for you to eat, including those in your households and your little children.”They replied,“ You have saved our lives! You are showing us favor, and we will be Pharaoh’s slaves.”So Joseph made it a statute, which is in effect to this day throughout the land of Egypt: One-fifth belongs to Pharaoh. Only the land of the priests did not become Pharaoh’s.Israel settled in the land of Egypt, in the land of Goshen, and they owned land there. They were fruitful and increased rapidly in number.Jacob lived in the land of Egypt seventeen years; the years of Jacob’s life were 147 in all.The time for Israel to die approached, so he called for his son Joseph and said to him,“ If now I have found favor in your sight, put your hand under my thigh and show me kindness and faithfulness. Do not bury me in Egypt,but when I rest with my fathers, carry me out of Egypt and bury me in their burial place.” Joseph said,“ I will do as you say.”Jacob said,“ Swear to me that you will do so.” So Joseph gave him his word. Then Israel bowed down at the head of his bed.

Joseph is a fruitful bough, a fruitful bough near a spring whose branches climb over the wall.The archers will attack him, they will shoot at him and oppose him.But his bow will remain steady, and his hands will be skillful; because of the hands of the Mighty One of Jacob, because of the Shepherd, the Rock of Israel,because of the God of your father, who will help you, because of the sovereign God, who will bless you with blessings from the sky above, blessings from the deep that lies below, and blessings of the breasts and womb.The blessings of your father are greater than the blessings of the eternal mountains or the desirable things of the age-old hills. They will be on the head of Joseph and on the brow of the prince of his brothers.Benjamin is a ravenous wolf; in the morning devouring the prey, and in the evening dividing the plunder.”

The Benjaminites by their families: from Bela, the family of the Belaites; from Ashbel, the family of the Ashbelites; from Ahiram, the family of the Ahiramites;from Shupham, the family of the Shuphamites; from Hupham, the family of the Huphamites.The descendants of Bela were Ard and Naaman. From Ard, the family of the Ardites; from Naaman, the family of the Naamanites.These are the Benjaminites, according to their families, and according to those numbered of them, 45,600.

She named him Joseph, saying,“ May the LORD give me yet another son.”

From the descendants of Benjamin: According to the records of their clans and families, all the males twenty years old or older who could serve in the army were listed by name.Those of them who were numbered from the tribe of Benjamin were 35,400.

Now Joseph had been brought down to Egypt. An Egyptian named Potiphar, an official of Pharaoh and the captain of the guard, purchased him from the Ishmaelites who had brought him there.The LORD was with Joseph. He was successful and lived in the household of his Egyptian master.His master observed that the LORD was with him and that the LORD made everything he was doing successful.So Joseph found favor in his sight and became his personal attendant. Potiphar appointed Joseph overseer of his household and put him in charge of everything he owned.From the time Potiphar appointed him over his household and over all that he owned, the LORD blessed the Egyptian’s household for Joseph’s sake. The blessing of the LORD was on everything that he had, both in his house and in his fields.So Potiphar left everything he had in Joseph’s care; he gave no thought to anything except the food he ate. Now Joseph was well built and good-looking.Soon after these things, his master’s wife took notice of Joseph and said,“ Have sex with me.”But he refused, saying to his master’s wife,“ Look, my master does not give any thought to his household with me here, and everything that he owns he has put into my care.There is no one greater in this household than I am. He has withheld nothing from me except you because you are his wife. So how could I do such a great evil and sin against God?”Even though she continued to speak to Joseph day after day, he did not respond to her invitation to have sex with her.One day he went into the house to do his work when none of the household servants were there in the house.She grabbed him by his outer garment, saying,“ Have sex with me!” But he left his outer garment in her hand and ran outside.When she saw that he had left his outer garment in her hand and had run outside,she called for her household servants and said to them,“ See, my husband brought in a Hebrew man to us to humiliate us. He tried to have sex with me, but I screamed loudly.When he heard me raise my voice and scream, he left his outer garment beside me and ran outside.”So she laid his outer garment beside her until his master came home.This is what she said to him:“ That Hebrew slave you brought to us tried to humiliate me,but when I raised my voice and screamed, he left his outer garment and ran outside.”When his master heard his wife say,“ This is the way your slave treated me,” he became furious.Joseph’s master took him and threw him into the prison, the place where the king’s prisoners were confined. So he was there in the prison.But the LORD was with Joseph and showed him kindness. He granted him favor in the sight of the prison warden.The warden put all the prisoners under Joseph’s care. He was in charge of whatever they were doing.The warden did not concern himself with anything that was in Joseph’s care because the LORD was with him and whatever he was doing the LORD was making successful.After these things happened, the cupbearer to the king of Egypt and the royal baker offended their master, the king of Egypt.Pharaoh was enraged with his two officials, the cupbearer and the baker,so he imprisoned them in the house of the captain of the guard in the same facility where Joseph was confined.The captain of the guard appointed Joseph to be their attendant, and he served them. They spent some time in custody.Both of them, the cupbearer and the baker of the king of Egypt, who were confined in the prison, had a dream the same night. Each man’s dream had its own meaning.When Joseph came to them in the morning, he saw that they were looking depressed.So he asked Pharaoh’s officials, who were with him in custody in his master’s house,“ Why do you look so sad today?”They told him,“ We both had dreams, but there is no one to interpret them.” Joseph responded,“ Don’t interpretations belong to God? Tell them to me.”So the chief cupbearer told his dream to Joseph:“ In my dream, there was a vine in front of me.On the vine there were three branches. As it budded, its blossoms opened and its clusters ripened into grapes.Now Pharaoh’s cup was in my hand, so I took the grapes, squeezed them into his cup, and put the cup in Pharaoh’s hand.”“ This is its meaning,” Joseph said to him.“ The three branches represent three days.In three more days Pharaoh will reinstate you and restore you to your office. You will put Pharaoh’s cup in his hand, just as you did before when you were cupbearer.But remember me when it goes well for you, and show me kindness. Make mention of me to Pharaoh and bring me out of this prison,for I really was kidnapped from the land of the Hebrews and I have done nothing wrong here for which they should put me in a dungeon.”When the chief baker saw that the interpretation of the first dream was favorable, he said to Joseph,“ I also appeared in my dream and there were three baskets of white bread on my head.In the top basket there were baked goods of every kind for Pharaoh, but the birds were eating them from the basket that was on my head.”Joseph replied,“ This is its meaning: The three baskets represent three days.In three more days Pharaoh will decapitate you and impale you on a pole. Then the birds will eat your flesh from you.”On the third day it was Pharaoh’s birthday, so he gave a feast for all his servants. He“ lifted up” the head of the chief cupbearer and the head of the chief baker in the midst of his servants.He restored the chief cupbearer to his former position so that he placed the cup in Pharaoh’s hand,but the chief baker he impaled, just as Joseph had predicted.But the chief cupbearer did not remember Joseph– he forgot him.

Of Benjamin he said: The beloved of the LORD will live safely by him; he protects him all the time, and the LORD places him on his chest.Of Joseph he said: May the LORD bless his land with the harvest produced by the sky, by the dew, and by the depths crouching beneath;with the harvest produced by the daylight and by the moonlight;with the best of the ancient mountains and the harvest produced by the age-old hills;with the harvest of the earth and its fullness and the pleasure of him who resided in the burning bush. May blessing rest on Joseph’s head, and on the top of the head of the one set apart from his brothers.May the firstborn of his bull bring him honor, and may his horns be those of a wild ox; with them may he gore all peoples, all the far reaches of the earth. They are the ten thousands of Ephraim, and they are the thousands of Manasseh.

The sons of Rachel were Joseph and Benjamin.

Issachar, Zebulun, and Benjamin,

They traveled on from Bethel, and when Ephrath was still some distance away, Rachel went into labor– and her labor was hard.When her labor was at its hardest, the midwife said to her,“ Don’t be afraid, for you are having another son.”With her dying breath, she named him Ben-Oni. But his father called him Benjamin instead.

All the people who were directly descended from Jacob numbered seventy. But Joseph was already in Egypt,
