Acts 7:13

JosephPharaoh
Forgiveness

11 Then famine and great suffering swept across Egypt and Canaan, and our fathers could not find food.

12 When Jacob heard that there was grain in Egypt, he sent our fathers on their first visit.

On their second visit, Joseph revealed his identity to his brothers, and his family became known to Pharaoh.

14 Then Joseph sent for his father Jacob and all his relatives, seventy-five in all.

15 So Jacob went down to Egypt, where he and our fathers died.
