9. “And the patriarchs, jealous of Joseph, sold him into slavery in Egypt; but God was with him

10. and rescued him from all his afflictions. He granted him favor and wisdom before Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, who put him in charge of Egypt and [of] his entire household.

12. but when Jacob heard that there was grain in Egypt, he sent our ancestors there a first time.
