Joseph is a fruitful bough, a fruitful bough near a spring whose branches climb over the wall.The archers will attack him, they will shoot at him and oppose him.But his bow will remain steady, and his hands will be skillful; because of the hands of the Mighty One of Jacob, because of the Shepherd, the Rock of Israel,because of the God of your father, who will help you, because of the sovereign God, who will bless you with blessings from the sky above, blessings from the deep that lies below, and blessings of the breasts and womb.The blessings of your father are greater than the blessings of the eternal mountains or the desirable things of the age-old hills. They will be on the head of Joseph and on the brow of the prince of his brothers.

The sons of Rachel were Joseph and Benjamin.

This is the account of Jacob. Joseph, his seventeen-year-old son, was taking care of the flocks with his brothers. Now he was a youngster working with the sons of Bilhah and Zilpah, his father’s wives. Joseph brought back a bad report about them to their father.

By faith Jacob, as he was dying, blessed each of the sons of Joseph and worshiped as he leaned on his staff.By faith Joseph, at the end of his life, mentioned the exodus of the sons of Israel and gave instructions about his burial.

Now Joseph was the ruler of the country, the one who sold grain to all the people of the country. Joseph’s brothers came and bowed down before him with their faces to the ground.

When her labor was at its hardest, the midwife said to her,“ Don’t be afraid, for you are having another son.”With her dying breath, she named him Ben-Oni. But his father called him Benjamin instead.

“ As for you, son of man, take one branch, and write on it,‘ For Judah, and for the Israelites associated with him.’ Then take another branch and write on it,‘ For Joseph, the branch of Ephraim and all the house of Israel associated with him.’

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

Now Joseph had been brought down to Egypt. An Egyptian named Potiphar, an official of Pharaoh and the captain of the guard, purchased him from the Ishmaelites who had brought him there.The LORD was with Joseph. He was successful and lived in the household of his Egyptian master.His master observed that the LORD was with him and that the LORD made everything he was doing successful.So Joseph found favor in his sight and became his personal attendant. Potiphar appointed Joseph overseer of his household and put him in charge of everything he owned.From the time Potiphar appointed him over his household and over all that he owned, the LORD blessed the Egyptian’s household for Joseph’s sake. The blessing of the LORD was on everything that he had, both in his house and in his fields.So Potiphar left everything he had in Joseph’s care; he gave no thought to anything except the food he ate. Now Joseph was well built and good-looking.Soon after these things, his master’s wife took notice of Joseph and said,“ Have sex with me.”But he refused, saying to his master’s wife,“ Look, my master does not give any thought to his household with me here, and everything that he owns he has put into my care.There is no one greater in this household than I am. He has withheld nothing from me except you because you are his wife. So how could I do such a great evil and sin against God?”Even though she continued to speak to Joseph day after day, he did not respond to her invitation to have sex with her.One day he went into the house to do his work when none of the household servants were there in the house.She grabbed him by his outer garment, saying,“ Have sex with me!” But he left his outer garment in her hand and ran outside.When she saw that he had left his outer garment in her hand and had run outside,she called for her household servants and said to them,“ See, my husband brought in a Hebrew man to us to humiliate us. He tried to have sex with me, but I screamed loudly.When he heard me raise my voice and scream, he left his outer garment beside me and ran outside.”So she laid his outer garment beside her until his master came home.This is what she said to him:“ That Hebrew slave you brought to us tried to humiliate me,but when I raised my voice and screamed, he left his outer garment and ran outside.”When his master heard his wife say,“ This is the way your slave treated me,” he became furious.Joseph’s master took him and threw him into the prison, the place where the king’s prisoners were confined. So he was there in the prison.But the LORD was with Joseph and showed him kindness. He granted him favor in the sight of the prison warden.The warden put all the prisoners under Joseph’s care. He was in charge of whatever they were doing.The warden did not concern himself with anything that was in Joseph’s care because the LORD was with him and whatever he was doing the LORD was making successful.

When Joseph’s brothers saw that their father loved him more than any of them, they hated Joseph and were not able to speak to him kindly.

After these things Joseph was told,“ Your father is weakening.” So he took his two sons Manasseh and Ephraim with him.When Jacob was told,“ Your son Joseph has just come to you,” Israel regained strength and sat up on his bed.Jacob said to Joseph,“ The sovereign God appeared to me at Luz in the land of Canaan and blessed me.He said to me,‘ I am going to make you fruitful and will multiply you. I will make you into a group of nations, and I will give this land to your descendants as an everlasting possession.’“ Now, as for your two sons, who were born to you in the land of Egypt before I came to you in Egypt, they will be mine. Ephraim and Manasseh will be mine just as Reuben and Simeon are.Any children that you father after them will be yours; they will be listed under the names of their brothers in their inheritance.But as for me, when I was returning from Paddan, Rachel died– to my sorrow– in the land of Canaan. It happened along the way, some distance from Ephrath. So I buried her there on the way to Ephrath”( that is, Bethlehem).When Israel saw Joseph’s sons, he asked,“ Who are these?”Joseph said to his father,“ They are the sons God has given me in this place.” His father said,“ Bring them to me so I may bless them.”Now Israel’s eyes were failing because of his age; he was not able to see well. So Joseph brought his sons near to him, and his father kissed them and embraced them.Israel said to Joseph,“ I never expected to see you again, but now God has allowed me to see your children too.”So Joseph moved them from Israel’s knees and bowed down with his face to the ground.Joseph positioned them; he put Ephraim on his right hand across from Israel’s left hand, and Manasseh on his left hand across from Israel’s right hand. Then Joseph brought them closer to his father.Israel stretched out his right hand and placed it on Ephraim’s head, although he was the younger. Crossing his hands, he put his left hand on Manasseh’s head, for Manasseh was the firstborn.Then he blessed Joseph and said,“ May the God before whom my fathers Abraham and Isaac walked– the God who has been my shepherd all my life long to this day,the Angel who has protected me from all harm– bless these boys. May my name be named in them, and the name of my fathers Abraham and Isaac. May they grow into a multitude on the earth.”When Joseph saw that his father placed his right hand on Ephraim’s head, it displeased him. So he took his father’s hand to move 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.”But his father refused and said,“ I know, my son, I know. He too will become a nation and he too will become great. In spite of this, his younger brother will be even greater and his descendants will become a multitude of nations.”So he blessed them that day, saying,“ By you will Israel bless, saying,‘ May God make you like Ephraim and Manasseh.’” So he put Ephraim before Manasseh.Then Israel said to Joseph,“ I am about to die, but God will be with you and will bring you back to the land of your fathers.As one who is above your brothers, I give to you the mountain slope, which I took from the Amorites with my sword and my bow.”

Of Joseph he said: May the LORD bless his land with the harvest produced by the sky, by the dew, and by the depths crouching beneath;with the harvest produced by the daylight and by the moonlight;with the best of the ancient mountains and the harvest produced by the age-old hills;with the harvest of the earth and its fullness and the pleasure of him who resided in the burning bush. May blessing rest on Joseph’s head, and on the top of the head of the one set apart from his brothers.May the firstborn of his bull bring him honor, and may his horns be those of a wild ox; with them may he gore all peoples, all the far reaches of the earth. They are the ten thousands of Ephraim, and they are the thousands of Manasseh.

The patriarchs, because they were jealous of Joseph, sold him into Egypt. But God was with him,and rescued him from all his troubles, and granted him favor and wisdom in the presence of Pharaoh, king of Egypt, who made him ruler over Egypt and over all his household.Then a famine occurred throughout Egypt and Canaan, causing great suffering, and our ancestors could not find food.So when Jacob heard that there was grain in Egypt, he sent our ancestors there the first time.On their second visit Joseph made himself known to his brothers again, and Joseph’s family became known to Pharaoh.So Joseph sent a message and invited his father Jacob and all his relatives to come, seventy- five people in all.So Jacob went down to Egypt and died there, along with our ancestors,
