Acts 7:14

IsraelJoseph

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

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

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.

16 Their bones were carried back to Shechem and placed in the tomb that Abraham had bought from the sons of Hamor at Shechem for a price he paid in silver.
