The Acts 7:11-18 Revised Version 1885 (RV1885)

11. Now there came a famine over all Egypt and Canaan, and great affliction: and our fathers found no sustenance.

12. But when Jacob heard that there was corn in Egypt, he sent forth our fathers the first time.

13. And at the second time Joseph was made known to his brethren; and Joseph's race became manifest unto Pharaoh.

14. And Joseph sent, and called to him Jacob his father, and all his kindred, threescore and fifteen souls.

15. And Jacob went down into Egypt; and he died, himself, and our fathers;

16. and they were carried over unto Shechem, and laid in the tomb that Abraham bought for a price in silver of the sons of Hamor in Shechem.

17. But as the time of the promise drew nigh, which God vouchsafed unto Abraham, the people grew and multiplied in Egypt,

18. till there arose another king over Egypt, which knew not Joseph.
