Jacob was in love with Rachel. He said to Laban,“ I’ll work for you for seven years so I can marry your younger daughter Rachel.”

Jacob lived in the land of Canaan. It’s the land where his father had stayed.Here is the story of the family line of Jacob. Joseph was a young man. He was 17 years old. He was taking care of the flocks with some of his brothers. They were the sons of Bilhah and the sons of Zilpah, the wives of his father Jacob. Joseph brought their father a bad report about his brothers.Israel loved Joseph more than any of his other sons. That’s because Joseph had been born to him when he was old. Israel made him a beautiful robe.Joseph’s brothers saw that their father loved him more than any of them. So they hated Joseph. They couldn’t even speak one kind word to him.Joseph had a dream. When he told it to his brothers, they hated him even more.He said to them,“ Listen to the dream I had.We were tying up bundles of grain out in the field. Suddenly my bundle stood up straight. Your bundles gathered around my bundle and bowed down to it.”His brothers said to him,“ Do you plan to be king over us? Will you really rule over us?” So they hated him even more because of his dream. They didn’t like what he had said.Then Joseph had another dream. He told it to his brothers.“ Listen,” he said.“ I had another dream. This time the sun and moon and 11 stars were bowing down to me.”He told his father as well as his brothers. Then his father rebuked him. He said,“ What about this dream you had? Will your mother and I and your brothers really do that? Will we really come and bow down to the ground in front of you?”His brothers were jealous of him. But his father kept the dreams in mind.Joseph’s brothers had gone to take care of their father’s flocks near Shechem.Israel said to Joseph,“ As you know, your brothers are taking care of the flocks near Shechem. Come. I’m going to send you to them.”“ All right,” Joseph replied.So Israel said to him,“ Go to your brothers. See how they are doing. Also see how the flocks are doing. Then come back and tell me.” So he sent him away from the Hebron Valley. Joseph arrived at Shechem.A man found him wandering around in the fields. He asked Joseph,“ What are you looking for?”He replied,“ I’m looking for my brothers. Can you tell me where they are taking care of their flocks?”“ They’ve moved on from here,” the man answered.“ I heard them say,‘ Let’s go to Dothan.’ ” So Joseph went to look for his brothers. He found them near Dothan.But they saw him a long way off. Before he reached them, they made plans to kill him.“ Here comes that dreamer!” they said to one another.“ Come. Let’s kill him. Let’s throw him into one of these empty wells. Let’s say that a wild animal ate him up. Then we’ll see whether his dreams will come true.”Reuben heard them talking. He tried to save Joseph from them.“ Let’s not take his life,” he said.“ Don’t spill any of his blood. Throw him into this empty well here in the desert. But don’t harm him yourselves.” Reuben said that to save Joseph from them. He was hoping he could take him back to his father.When Joseph came to his brothers, he was wearing his beautiful robe. They took it away from him.And they threw him into the well. The well was empty. There wasn’t any water in it.Then they sat down to eat their meal. As they did, they saw some Ishmaelite traders coming from Gilead. Their camels were loaded with spices, lotion and myrrh. They were on their way to take them down to Egypt.Judah said to his brothers,“ What will we gain if we kill our brother and try to cover up what we’ve done?Come. Let’s sell him to these traders. Let’s not harm him ourselves. After all, he’s our brother. He’s our own flesh and blood.” Judah’s brothers agreed with him.The traders from Midian came by. Joseph’s brothers pulled him up out of the well. They sold him to the Ishmaelite traders for eight ounces of silver. Then the traders took him to Egypt.Later, Reuben came back to the empty well. He saw that Joseph wasn’t there. He was so upset that he tore his clothes.He went back to his brothers and said,“ The boy isn’t there! Now what should I do?”Then they got Joseph’s beautiful robe. They killed a goat and dipped the robe in the blood.They took the robe back to their father. They said,“ We found this. Take a look at it. See if it’s your son’s robe.”Jacob recognized it. He said,“ It’s my son’s robe! A wild animal has eaten him up. Joseph must have been torn to pieces.”Jacob tore his clothes. He put on the rough clothing people wear when they’re sad. Then he mourned for his son many days.All Jacob’s other sons and daughters came to comfort him. But they weren’t able to. He said,“ I will continue to mourn until I go down into the grave to be with my son.” So Joseph’s father mourned for him.But the traders from Midian sold Joseph to Potiphar in Egypt. Potiphar was one of Pharaoh’s officials. He was the captain of the palace guard.

Joseph threw himself on his father’s body. He wept over him and kissed him.Then Joseph talked to the doctors who served him. He told them to prepare the body of his father Israel to be buried. So the doctors prepared it.They took 40 days to do it. They needed that much time to prepare a body in the right way. The Egyptians mourned for Jacob 70 days.After the days of sadness had passed, Joseph went to Pharaoh’s officials. He said to them,“ If you are pleased with me, speak to Pharaoh for me. Tell him,‘ My father made me give my word to him. He said,“ I’m about to die. Bury me in the tomb I dug for myself in the land of Canaan.” So let me go there and bury my father. Then I’ll come back.’ ”Pharaoh said,“ Go there and bury your father. Do what he made you promise to do.”So Joseph went to Canaan to bury his father. All Pharaoh’s officials went with him. They were the important people of his court and all the leaders of Egypt.Joseph’s family also went. His brothers and all the rest of his father’s family went. Only their children and their flocks and herds were left in Goshen.Chariots and horsemen also went up with him. It was a very large group.They came to Atad, a place where grain was processed. It was near the Jordan River. There they sobbed loudly and bitterly. Joseph set apart seven days of sadness to honor his father’s memory.The Canaanites living in that area saw how sad all of them were. They said,“ The Egyptians are having a very special service for the dead.” That’s why that place near the Jordan River is called Abel of the Egyptians.So Jacob’s sons did exactly as he had commanded them.They carried his body to the land of Canaan. They buried it in the cave in the field of Machpelah near Mamre. Abraham had bought the cave as a place where he could bury his wife’s body. He had bought the cave and the field from Ephron, the Hittite.After Joseph buried his father, he went back to Egypt. His brothers and all the others who had gone to help him bury his father went back with him.

Joseph went to Pharaoh. He told him,“ My father and brothers have come from the land of Canaan. They’ve brought along their flocks and herds and everything they own. They are now in Goshen.”Joseph had chosen five of his brothers to meet with Pharaoh.Pharaoh asked the brothers,“ What do you do for a living?”“ We’re shepherds,” they replied to Pharaoh.“ And that’s what our fathers were.”They also said to him,“ We’ve come to live in Egypt for a while. There isn’t enough food anywhere in Canaan. There isn’t any grass for our flocks. So please let us live in Goshen.”Pharaoh said to Joseph,“ Your father and your brothers have come to you.The land of Egypt is open to you. Let your father and brothers live in the best part of the land. Let them live in Goshen. Do any of them have special skills? If they do, put them in charge of my own livestock.”Then Joseph brought his father Jacob in to meet Pharaoh. Jacob gave Pharaoh his blessing.Then Pharaoh asked him,“ How old are you?”Jacob said to Pharaoh,“ The years of my journey through life are 130. My years have been few and hard. They aren’t as many as the years of my father and grandfather before me.”Jacob gave Pharaoh his blessing. Then he left him.So Joseph helped his father and his brothers make their homes in Egypt. He gave them property in the best part of the land, just as Pharaoh had directed him to do. That part was known as the territory of Rameses.Joseph also provided food for his father and brothers. He provided for them and the rest of his father’s family. He gave them enough for all their children.But there wasn’t any food in the whole area. In fact, there wasn’t enough food anywhere. The people of Egypt and Canaan lost their strength because there wasn’t enough food to go around.Joseph collected all the money in Egypt and Canaan. People paid it to him for the grain they were buying. And Joseph brought it to Pharaoh’s palace.When the money of the people of Egypt and Canaan was gone, all the Egyptians came to Joseph. They said,“ Give us food. What good would it do you to watch us all die? Our money is all gone.”“ Then bring your livestock,” said Joseph.“ You say your money is gone. So I’ll trade you food for your livestock.”They brought their livestock to Joseph. He traded them food for their animals. They gave him their horses, sheep, goats, cattle and donkeys. He helped the people live through that year by trading them food for all their livestock.When that year was over, they came to him the next year. They said,“ We can’t hide the truth from you. Our money is gone. Our livestock belongs to you. We don’t have anything left to give you except our bodies and our land.What good would it do you to watch us die? Why should our land be destroyed? Trade us food for ourselves and our land. Then we and our land will belong to Pharaoh. Give us some seeds so we can live and not die. We don’t want the land to become a desert.”So Joseph bought all the land in Egypt for Pharaoh. All the people of Egypt sold their fields. They did that because there wasn’t enough food anywhere. So the land became Pharaoh’s.Joseph made the people slaves from one end of Egypt to the other.But Joseph didn’t buy the land that belonged to the priests. They received a regular share of food from Pharaoh. They had enough food from what Pharaoh gave them. That’s why they didn’t have to sell their land.Joseph said to the people,“ I’ve bought you and your land today for Pharaoh. So here are some seeds for you to plant in the ground.But when the crop comes in, give a fifth of it to Pharaoh. Keep the other four- fifths for yourselves. They will be seeds for the fields. And they will be food for yourselves, your children, and the other people who live with you.”“ You have saved our lives,” they said.“ If you are pleased with us, we will be Pharaoh’s slaves.”So Joseph made a law about land in Egypt. It’s still the law today. A fifth of the produce belongs to Pharaoh. Only the land belonging to the priests didn’t become Pharaoh’s.The people of Israel lived in Egypt in the area of Goshen. They received property there. They had children and so became many.Jacob lived 17 years in Egypt. He lived a total of 147 years.The time came near for Israel to die. So he sent for his son Joseph. He said to him,“ If you are pleased with me, put your hand under my thigh. Promise me that you will be kind and faithful to me. Don’t bury me in Egypt.When I join the members of my family who have already died, carry me out of Egypt. Bury me where they are buried.”“ I’ll do exactly as you say,” Joseph said.“ Give me your word that you will do it,” Jacob said. So Joseph gave him his word. And Israel worshiped God as he leaned on the top of his walking stick.

“ Joseph is a vine that grows a lot of fruit. It grows close by a spring. Its branches climb over a wall.Mean people shot arrows at him. They shot at him because they were angry.But his bow remained steady. His strong arms moved freely. The hand of the Mighty God of Jacob was with him. The Shepherd, the Rock of Israel, stood by him.Joseph, your father’s God helps you. The Mighty God blesses you. He gives you blessings from the sky above. He gives you blessings from the deep springs below. He blesses you with children and with a mother’s milk.Your father’s blessings are great. They are greater than the blessings from the age- old mountains. They are greater than the gifts from the ancient hills. Let all those blessings rest on the head of Joseph. Let them rest on the head of the one who is prince among his brothers.“ Benjamin is a hungry wolf. In the morning he eats what he has killed. In the evening he shares what he has stolen.”

Here are the names of Benjamin’s sons. They are listed by their families. The Belaite family came from Bela. The Ashbelite family came from Ashbel. The Ahiramite family came from Ahiram.The Shuphamite family came from Shupham. The Huphamite family came from Hupham.Bela’s sons came from Ard and Naaman. The Ardite family came from Ard. The Naamite family came from Naaman.These were the families of Benjamin. The number of the men counted was 45,600.

She said,“ May the Lord give me another son.” So she named him Joseph.

Here is the number of men from the tribe of Benjamin. All the men able to serve in the army were counted. They were 20 years old or more. They were listed by name. They were listed according to the records of their tribes and families.The number from the tribe of Benjamin was 35,400.

Joseph had been taken down to Egypt. An Egyptian named Potiphar had bought him from the Ishmaelite traders who had taken him there. Potiphar was one of Pharaoh’s officials. He was the captain of the palace guard.The Lord was with Joseph. He gave him great success. Joseph lived in Potiphar’s house.Joseph’s master saw that the Lord was with him. He saw that the Lord made Joseph successful in everything he did.So Potiphar was pleased with Joseph and made him his attendant. He put Joseph in charge of his house. He trusted Joseph to take care of everything he owned.From that time on, the Lord blessed Potiphar’s family and servants because of Joseph. He blessed everything Potiphar had in his house and field.So Joseph took good care of everything Potiphar owned. With Joseph in charge, Potiphar didn’t have to worry about anything except the food he ate. Joseph was strong and handsome.After a while, his master’s wife noticed Joseph. She said to him,“ Come to bed with me!”But he refused.“ My master has put me in charge,” he told her.“ Now he doesn’t have to worry about anything in the house. He trusts me to take care of everything he owns.No one in this house is in a higher position than I am. My master hasn’t held anything back from me, except you. You are his wife. So how could I do an evil thing like that? How could I sin against God?”She spoke to Joseph day after day. But he told her he wouldn’t go to bed with her. He didn’t even want to be with her.One day Joseph went into the house to take care of his duties. None of the family servants was inside.Potiphar’s wife grabbed him by his coat.“ Come to bed with me!” she said. But he left his coat in her hand. And he ran out of the house.She saw that he had left his coat in her hand and had run out of the house.So she called her servants.“ Look,” she said to them,“ this Hebrew slave has been brought here to make fun of us! He came in here to force me to have sex with him. But I screamed for help.He heard my scream. So he left his coat beside me and ran out of the house.”She kept Joseph’s coat with her until Potiphar came home.Then she told him her story. She said,“ That Hebrew slave you brought us came to me to rape me.But I screamed for help. So he left his coat beside me and ran out of the house.”Potiphar’s wife told him,“ That’s how your slave treated me.” When Joseph’s master heard her story, he became very angry.So he put Joseph in prison. It was the place where the king’s prisoners were kept. While Joseph was there in the prison,the Lord was with him. He was kind to him. So the man running the prison was pleased with Joseph.He put Joseph in charge of all the prisoners. He made him responsible for everything done there.The man who ran the prison didn’t pay attention to anything in Joseph’s care. That’s because the Lord was with Joseph. He gave Joseph success in everything he did.Some time later, the Egyptian king’s baker and wine taster did something their master didn’t like.So Pharaoh became angry with his two officials, the chief wine taster and the chief baker.He put them in prison in the house of the captain of the palace guard. It was the same prison where Joseph was kept.The captain put Joseph in charge of those men. So Joseph took care of them. Some time passed while they were in prison.Then each of the two men had a dream. The men were the Egyptian king’s baker and wine taster. They were being held in prison. Both of them had dreams the same night. Each of their dreams had its own meaning.Joseph came to them the next morning. He saw that they were sad.They were Pharaoh’s officials, and they were in prison with Joseph in his master’s house. So he asked them,“ Why do you look so sad today?”“ We both had dreams,” they answered.“ But no one can tell us what they mean.” Then Joseph said to them,“ Only God knows what dreams mean. Tell me your dreams.”So the chief wine taster told Joseph his dream. He said to him,“ In my dream I saw a vine in front of me.There were three branches on the vine. As soon as it budded, it flowered. And bunches of ripe grapes grew on it.Pharaoh’s cup was in my hand. I took the grapes. I squeezed them into Pharaoh’s cup. Then I put the cup in his hand.”“ Here’s what your dream means,” Joseph said to him.“ The three branches are three days.In three days Pharaoh will let you out of prison. He’ll give your job back to you. And you will put Pharaoh’s cup in his hand. That’s what you used to do when you were his wine taster.But when everything is going well with you, remember me. Do me a favor. Speak to Pharaoh about me. Get me out of this prison.I was taken away from the land of the Hebrews by force. Even here I haven’t done anything to be put in prison for.”The chief baker saw that Joseph had given a positive meaning to the wine taster’s dream. So he said to Joseph,“ I had a dream too. There were three baskets of bread on my head.All kinds of baked goods for Pharaoh were in the top basket. But the birds were eating them out of the basket on my head.”“ Here’s what your dream means,” Joseph said.“ The three baskets are three days.In three days Pharaoh will cut your head off. Then he will stick a pole through your body and set the pole up. The birds will eat your flesh.”The third day was Pharaoh’s birthday. He had a feast prepared for all his officials. He brought the chief wine taster and the chief baker out of prison. He did it in front of his officials.He gave the chief wine taster’s job back to him. Once again the wine taster put the cup into Pharaoh’s hand.But Pharaoh had a pole stuck through the chief baker’s body. Then he had the pole set up. Everything happened just as Joseph had told them when he explained their dreams.But the chief wine taster didn’t remember Joseph. In fact, he forgot all about him.

Here’s what Moses said about Benjamin.“ Let the one the Lord loves rest safely in him. The Lord guards him all day long. The one the Lord loves rests in his arms.”Here’s what Moses said about Joseph.“ May the Lord bless Joseph’s land. May he bless it with dew from the highest heavens. May he bless it with water from the deepest oceans.May he bless it with the best crops the sun can produce. May he bless it with the finest crops the moon can give.May he bless it with the best products of the age- old mountains. May he bless it with the many crops of the ancient hills.May he bless it with the best gifts that fill the earth. May he bless it with the favor of the God who spoke out of the burning bush. Let all these blessings rest on the head of Joseph. Let them rest on the head of the one who is prince among his brothers.His glory is like the glory of a bull born first to its mother. His horns are like the horns of a wild ox. He will use them to destroy the nations. He’ll wipe out the nations that are very far away. The ten thousands of men in Ephraim’s army are like the bull and the ox. So are the thousands in the army of Manasseh.”

The sons of Rachel were Joseph and Benjamin.

Issachar, Zebulun, Benjamin,

They moved on from Bethel. Ephrath wasn’t very far away when Rachel began to have a baby. She was having a very hard time of it.The woman who helped her saw that she was having problems. So she said to Rachel,“ Don’t be afraid. You have another son.”But Rachel was dying. As she took her last breath, she named her son Ben- Oni. But his father named him Benjamin.

The total number of Jacob’s children and grandchildren was 70. Joseph was already in Egypt.
