Acts 7:12-16

The Voice

¹² Jacob heard that Egypt had stores of grain; so he sent our forefathers, his sons, to procure food there. ¹³ Later, when they returned to Egypt a second time, Joseph revealed his true identity to them. He also told Pharaoh his family story.

^14-16 Joseph then invited his father Jacob and all his clan to come and live with him in Egypt. So Jacob came, along with 75 extended family members. After their deaths, their remains were brought back to this land so they could be buried in the same tomb where Abraham had buried Sarah (he had purchased the tomb for a certain amount of silver from the family of Hamor in the town of Shechem).
