1 And the High–priest said––Are these things, so?
2 And, he, said––Brethren and fathers, hearken! The God of Glory, appeared unto our father Abraham, while he was in Mesopotamia, before he dwelt in Haran,––
3 And said unto him––Get thee forth, out of thy land, and from among thy kindred, and come unto the land which, unto thee, I will point out.
4 Then, coming forth out of the land of the Chaldeans, he dwelt in Haran; and, from thence, when his father was dead, he removed him into this land, in which, ye, now dwell;
5 And gave him no inheritance therein, not even a place to set his foot on; and yet promised to give it unto him in possession, and unto his seed after him, when as yet he had not a child.
6 But God, spake thus––His seed shall be a sojourner in a foreign land, and they will bring it into bondage, and ill–treat it four–hundred years;
7 And, the nation unto which they shall be in bondage, will, I, judge––said God; and, after these things, shall they come forth, and render divine service unto me, in this place.

9 And, the patriarchs, being jealous of Joseph, gave him up into Egypt; and, God, was, with him,
10 And rescued him out of all his tribulations, and gave him favour and wisdom before Pharaoh king of Egypt; and he appointed him governor over Egypt and all his house.
11 And there came a famine upon all Egypt and Canaan, and great tribulation, and our fathers could not find pasture.
12 But Jacob, hearing there was corn in Egypt, sent off our fathers, first;
13 And, the second time, Joseph was made known unto his brethren, and, the race of Joseph was made, manifest, unto Pharaoh.
