9 Y los patriarcas, movidos de envidia, vendieron á José para Egipto; mas Dios era con él,

10 Y le libró de todas sus tribulaciones, y le dió gracia y sabiduría en la presencia de Faraón, rey de Egipto, el cual le puso por gobernador sobre Egipto, y sobre toda su casa.

11 Vino entonces hambre en toda la tierra de Egipto y de Canaán, y grande tribulación; y nuestros padres no hallaban alimentos.

12 Y como oyese Jacob que había trigo en Egipto, envió á nuestros padres la primera vez.

13 Y en la segunda, José fué conocido de sus hermanos, y fué sabido de Faraón el linaje de José.
