“ Joseph is a fruitful vine, a fruitful vine by a spring. His branches run over the wall.The archers have severely grieved him, shot at him, and persecuted him:But his bow remained strong. The arms of his hands were made strong, by the hands of the Mighty One of Jacob,( from there is the shepherd, the stone of Israel),even by the God of your father, who will help you, by the Almighty, who will bless you, with blessings of heaven above, blessings of the deep that lies below, blessings of the breasts, and of the womb.The blessings of your father have prevailed above the blessings of your ancestors, above the boundaries of the ancient hills. They will be on the head of Joseph, on the crown of the head of him who is separated from his brothers.

The sons of Rachel: Joseph and Benjamin.

This is the history of the generations of Jacob. Joseph, being seventeen years old, was feeding the flock with his brothers. He was a boy with the sons of Bilhah and Zilpah, his father’s wives. Joseph brought an evil report of them to their father.

By faith, Jacob, when he was dying, blessed each of the sons of Joseph, and worshiped, leaning on the top of his staff.By faith, Joseph, when his end was near, made mention of the departure of the children of Israel, and gave instructions concerning his bones.

Joseph was the governor over the land. It was he who sold to all the people of the land. Joseph’s brothers came, and bowed themselves down to him with their faces to the earth.

When she was in hard labor, the midwife said to her,“ Don’t be afraid, for now you will have another son.”As her soul was departing( for she died), she named him Benoni, but his father named him Benjamin.

“ You, son of man, take one stick, and write on it,‘ For Judah, and for the children of Israel his companions.’ Then take another stick, and write on it,‘ For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim, and for all the house of Israel his companions.’

of the tribe of Zebulun twelve thousand, of the tribe of Joseph twelve thousand, and of the tribe of Benjamin twelve thousand were sealed.

Joseph was brought down to Egypt. Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh’s, the captain of the guard, an Egyptian, bought him from the hand of the Ishmaelites that had brought him down there.Yahweh was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man. He was in the house of his master the Egyptian.His master saw that Yahweh was with him, and that Yahweh made all that he did prosper in his hand.Joseph found favor in his sight. He ministered to him, and Potiphar made him overseer over his house, and all that he had he put into his hand.From the time that he made him overseer in his house, and over all that he had, Yahweh blessed the Egyptian’s house for Joseph’s sake. Yahweh’s blessing was on all that he had, in the house and in the field.He left all that he had in Joseph’s hand. He didn’t concern himself with anything, except for the food which he ate. Joseph was well- built and handsome.After these things, his master’s wife set her eyes on Joseph; and she said,“ Lie with me.”But he refused, and said to his master’s wife,“ Behold, my master doesn’t know what is with me in the house, and he has put all that he has into my hand.No one is greater in this house than I am, and he has not kept back anything from me but you, because you are his wife. How then can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God?”As she spoke to Joseph day by day, he didn’t listen to her, to lie by her, or to be with her.About this time, he went into the house to do his work, and there were none of the men of the house inside.She caught him by his garment, saying,“ Lie with me!” He left his garment in her hand, and ran outside.When she saw that he had left his garment in her hand, and had run outside,she called to the men of her house, and spoke to them, saying,“ Behold, he has brought a Hebrew in to us to mock us. He came in to me to lie with me, and I cried with a loud voice.When he heard that I lifted up my voice and cried, he left his garment by me, and ran outside.”She laid up his garment by her, until his master came home.She spoke to him according to these words, saying,“ The Hebrew servant, whom you have brought to us, came in to me to mock me,and as I lifted up my voice and cried, he left his garment by me, and ran outside.”When his master heard the words of his wife, which she spoke to him, saying,“ This is what your servant did to me,” his wrath was kindled.Joseph’s master took him, and put him into the prison, the place where the king’s prisoners were bound, and he was there in custody.But Yahweh was with Joseph, and showed kindness to him, and gave him favor in the sight of the keeper of the prison.The keeper of the prison committed to Joseph’s hand all the prisoners who were in the prison. Whatever they did there, he was responsible for it.The keeper of the prison didn’t look after anything that was under his hand, because Yahweh was with him; and that which he did, Yahweh made it prosper.

His brothers saw that their father loved him more than all his brothers, and they hated him, and couldn’t speak peaceably to him.

After these things, someone said to Joseph,“ Behold, your father is sick.” He took with him his two sons, Manasseh and Ephraim.Someone told Jacob, and said,“ Behold, your son Joseph comes to you,” and Israel strengthened himself, and sat on the bed.Jacob said to Joseph,“ God Almighty appeared to me at Luz in the land of Canaan, and blessed me,and said to me,‘ Behold, I will make you fruitful, and multiply you, and I will make of you a company of peoples, and will give this land to your offspring after you for an everlasting possession.’Now your two sons, who were born to you in the land of Egypt before I came to you into Egypt, are mine; Ephraim and Manasseh, even as Reuben and Simeon, will be mine.Your offspring, whom you become the father of after them, will be yours. They will be called after the name of their brothers in their inheritance.As for me, when I came from Paddan, Rachel died beside me in the land of Canaan on the way, when there was still some distance to come to Ephrath, and I buried her there on the way to Ephrath( also called Bethlehem).”Israel saw Joseph’s sons, and said,“ Who are these?”Joseph said to his father,“ They are my sons, whom God has given me here.” He said,“ Please bring them to me, and I will bless them.”Now the eyes of Israel were dim for age, so that he couldn’t see well. Joseph brought them near to him; and he kissed them, and embraced them.Israel said to Joseph,“ I didn’t think I would see your face, and behold, God has let me see your offspring also.”Joseph brought them out from between his knees, and he bowed himself with his face to the earth.Joseph took them both, Ephraim in his right hand toward Israel’s left hand, and Manasseh in his left hand toward Israel’s right hand, and brought them near to him.Israel stretched out his right hand, and laid it on Ephraim’s head, who was the younger, and his left hand on Manasseh’s head, guiding his hands knowingly, for Manasseh was the firstborn.He blessed Joseph, and said,“ The God before whom my fathers Abraham and Isaac walked, the God who has fed me all my life long to this day,the angel who has redeemed me from all evil, bless the lads, and let my name be named on them, and the name of my fathers Abraham and Isaac. Let them grow into a multitude upon the earth.”When Joseph saw that his father laid his right hand on the head of Ephraim, it displeased him. He held up his father’s hand, to remove it from Ephraim’s head to Manasseh’s head.Joseph said to his father,“ Not so, my father, for this is the firstborn. Put your right hand on his head.”His father refused, and said,“ I know, my son, I know. He also will become a people, and he also will be great. However, his younger brother will be greater than he, and his offspring will become a multitude of nations.”He blessed them that day, saying,“ Israel will bless in you, saying,‘ God make you as Ephraim and as Manasseh’” He set Ephraim before Manasseh.Israel said to Joseph,“ Behold, I am dying, but God will be with you, and bring you again to the land of your fathers.Moreover I have given to you one portion above your brothers, which I took out of the hand of the Amorite with my sword and with my bow.”

About Joseph he said,“ His land is blessed by Yahweh, for the precious things of the heavens, for the dew, for the deep that couches beneath,for the precious things of the fruits of the sun, for the precious things that the moon can yield,for the best things of the ancient mountains, for the precious things of the everlasting hills,for the precious things of the earth and its fullness, the good will of him who lived in the bush. Let this come on the head of Joseph, on the crown of the head of him who was separated from his brothers.Majesty belongs to the firstborn of his herd. His horns are the horns of the wild ox. With them he will push all the peoples to the ends of the earth. They are the ten thousands of Ephraim. They are the thousands of Manasseh.”

“ The patriarchs, moved with jealousy against Joseph, sold him into Egypt. God was with him,and delivered him out of all his afflictions, and gave him favor and wisdom before Pharaoh, king of Egypt. He made him governor over Egypt and all his house.Now a famine came over all the land of Egypt and Canaan, and great affliction. Our fathers found no food.But when Jacob heard that there was grain in Egypt, he sent out our fathers the first time.On the second time Joseph was made known to his brothers, and Joseph’s race was revealed to Pharaoh.Joseph sent and summoned Jacob, his father, and all his relatives, seventy- five souls.Jacob went down into Egypt and he died, himself and our fathers,
