Numbers 1:32 Cross References - NHEB

³² Of the sons of Joseph, of the descendants of Ephraim, their generations, according to their families, by their fathers' houses, according to the number of the names, from twenty years old and upward, all who were able to go out to war;

²⁴ So she named him Joseph, saying, “May God add another son to me."

¹ Jacob lived in the land where his father had sojourned, in the land of Canaan. ² These are the generations of Jacob. Joseph, being seventeen years old, tended the flock with his brothers; he was an assistant to the sons of Bilhah and Zilpah, his fatherʼs wives. And Joseph brought a bad report about them to their father. ³ Now Israel loved Joseph more than all his children, because he had been born to him in his old age. And he made a long ornamented robe for him. ⁴ His brothers saw that their father loved him more than all his brothers, and they hated him, and couldnʼt speak a kind word to him. ⁵ Now Joseph had a dream, and he told it to his brothers, and they hated him all the more. ⁶ He said to them, "Please listen to this dream I had: ⁷ And look, we were binding sheaves in the field, and look, my sheaf arose and also stood upright. And look, your sheaves gathered around it and bowed down to my sheaf." ⁸ Then his brothers said to him, "Will you indeed reign over us? Or will you indeed rule over us?" So they hated him all the more for his dreams and for what he said. ⁹ And he had another dream, and told it to his father and to his brothers, and said, "Look, I had yet another dream, and look, the sun and the moon and eleven stars bowed down to me." ¹⁰ When he told it to his father and to his brothers, his father rebuked him, and said to him, "What is this dream that you had? Will I and your mother and your brothers indeed come and bow down to the ground in front of you?" ¹¹ His brothers were jealous of him, but his father kept thinking about the matter. ¹² Now his brothers went to pasture their fatherʼs flock near Shechem. ¹³ And Israel said to Joseph, "Arenʼt your brothers pasturing the flock near Shechem? Come, and I will send you to them." And he said to him, "I am ready." ¹⁴ So he said to him, "Go now, see whether it is well with your brothers and well with the flock, and report back to me." So he sent him from the Valley of Hebron, and he came to Shechem. ¹⁵ And a man found him, and look, he was wandering in the field. And the man asked him, "What are you looking for?" ¹⁶ He said, "I am looking for my brothers. Tell me, please, where they are pasturing the flock." ¹⁷ The man said, "They have left here, for I heard them say, 'Let us go to Dothan.'" So Joseph went after his brothers, and found them in Dothan. ¹⁸ Now they saw him in the distance, and before he reached them they plotted against him to kill him. ¹⁹ And they said to one another, "Look, this dreamer is coming. ²⁰ Come now, and letʼs kill him and throw him into one of the cisterns, and we will say that a vicious animal has devoured him. Then we will see what will become of his dreams." ²¹ But Reuben heard it, and delivered him out of their hands, and said, "Letʼs not take his life." ²² Reuben said to them, "Shed no blood. Throw him into this pit that is in the wilderness, but lay no hand on him"—that he might deliver him out of their hands, to restore him to his father. ²³ It happened, when Joseph came to his brothers, they stripped Joseph of his robe, the long ornamented robe that he was wearing. ²⁴ And they took him and threw him into the cistern. (Now the pit was empty. There was no water in it.) ²⁵ Then they sat down to eat a meal. And they looked up, and look, a caravan of Ishmaelites was coming from Gilead, with their camels bearing aromatic gum and balm and myrrh on their way to carry them down to Egypt. ²⁶ Then Judah said to his brothers, "What profit is it if we kill our brother and conceal his blood? ²⁷ Come, and letʼs sell him to the Ishmaelites, and not lay a hand on him, for he is our brother, our flesh." And his brothers agreed. ²⁸ So the Midianites merchants passed by, and they pulled him up and lifted Joseph out of the cistern, and sold Joseph to the Ishmaelites for twenty pieces of silver. And they brought Joseph to Egypt. ²⁹ And Reuben returned to the cistern and saw that Joseph wasnʼt in the cistern; and he tore his clothes. ³⁰ He went back to his brothers and said, "The boy is gone. Now, what am I to do?" ³¹ They took Josephʼs robe and killed a male goat and dipped the robe in the blood. ³² And they sent the long ornamented robe and they brought it to their father, and said, "We found this. Please examine it to see whether it is your sonʼs robe or not." ³³ And he recognized it, and said, "It is my sonʼs robe. A vicious animal has devoured him. Joseph is without doubt torn to pieces." ³⁴ Then Jacob tore his clothes, and put sackcloth around his waist, and mourned for his son many days. ³⁵ All his sons and all his daughters rose up to comfort him, but he refused to be comforted. And he said, "Indeed, I will go down to Sheol to my son mourning." And his father wept for him. ³⁶ Now the Midianites sold him into Egypt to Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh, the captain of the guard.

¹ Now Joseph was brought down to Egypt, and Potiphar, an officer of Pharaohʼs, the captain of the guard, an Egyptian, bought him from the Ishmaelites who had brought him down there. ² And the LORD was with Joseph, and he became a successful man. And he was in the household of his master the Egyptian. ³ And his master saw that God was with him, and that God made everything that he did to succeed in his hands. ⁴ So Joseph found favor in the sight of his master, and attended him, and he made him overseer of his house, and all that he had he put under his authority. ⁵ And it came about that from the time that he made him overseer of his household and over all that he had, that the LORD blessed the Egyptianʼs house because of Joseph; and the blessing of the LORD was on all that he had, in the house and in the field. ⁶ So he left everything that he had in Josephʼs care. He did not concern himself with anything, except for the food which he ate. Now Joseph was handsome in form and appearance. ⁷ And it came to pass after these things that his masterʼs wife took notice of Joseph and she said, "Sleep with me." ⁸ But he refused, and said to his masterʼs wife, "Look, my master does not concern himself with anything in his house, and he has put all that he has into my care. ⁹ There is no one greater in this household than I am, nor has he kept back anything from me but you, since you are his wife. How then can I do such a great evil, and sin against God?" ¹⁰ And although she spoke to Joseph day after day, he did not listen to her to sleep with her or to be with her. ¹¹ Now it happened about this time that he went into the house to do his work, and there were none of the men of the house inside. ¹² She grabbed him by his garment, saying, "Sleep with me." And he left his garment in her hand and ran outside. ¹³ When she saw that he had left his garment in her hand and had run outside, ¹⁴ she called to the men of her house, and spoke to them, saying, “Look, he has brought in a Hebrew to us to mock us. He came in to me to sleep with me, and I cried with a loud voice. ¹⁵ It happened, when he heard that I raised my voice and cried out, that he left his garment by me and ran outside." ¹⁶ She left his garment by her, until his master came home. ¹⁷ And she told him the same story, saying, "The Hebrew servant, whom you have brought to us, came in to me to mock me, and said to me, x91Let me sleep with you.ʼ ¹⁸ But when I raised my voice and cried out, he left his garment beside me and ran outside." ¹⁹ And it happened when his master heard the words that his wife spoke to him, saying, "This is what your servant did to me," that he became furious. ²⁰ Then Josephʼs master took him and put him into the prison, the place where the kingʼs prisoners were bound, and he was there in prison. ²¹ But the LORD was with Joseph and showed him kindness and gave him favor in the sight of the keeper of the prison. ²² The keeper of the prison put Joseph in charge of all the prisoners who were in the prison; he was made responsible for everything that was done there. ²³ The keeper of the prison paid no attention to anything that was under his supervision, because God was with him, and made everything he did successful.

²⁰ To Joseph in the land of Egypt were born Manasseh and Ephraim, whom Asenath the daughter of Potiphera, priest of On, bore to him.

¹ And it came about after these things that someone said to Joseph, "Look, your father is sick." And taking with him his two sons, Manasseh and Ephraim, he went to Jacob. ² And someone reported to Jacob, and said, "Look, your son Joseph has come to you." Then Israel strengthened himself and sat up in the bed. ³ And Jacob said to Joseph, "El Shaddai appeared to me at Luz in the land of Canaan and blessed me, ⁴ and said to me, 'Look, I will make you fruitful and multiply you, and I will make of you a company of peoples, and will give this land to your descendants after you as an everlasting possession.' ⁵ And now your two sons, who were born to you in the land of Egypt before I came to you into Egypt, are mine; Ephraim and Manasseh will be mine, as Reuben and Simeon are. ⁶ And your offspring born to you after them will be yours. But in their inheritance they are to be called after the names of their brothers. ⁷ But as for me, when I came from Paddan Aram, Rachel died, in my sorrow, in the land of Canaan on the journey, when there was still some distance to go to Ephrath. And I buried her there on the way to Ephrath (that is, Bethlehem)." ⁸ Then Israel saw Josephʼs sons, and said, "Who are these?" ⁹ And Joseph said to his father, "They are my sons, whom God has given me here." And he said, "Please bring them to me, so that I can bless them." ¹⁰ Now the eyes of Israel were failing because of his age, so that he couldnʼt see. Then he brought them near to him, and he kissed them and embraced them. ¹¹ And Israel said to Joseph, "I did not expect to see your face, but look, God has let me see your offspring as well." ¹² Then Joseph brought them out from between his knees, and he bowed himself with his face to the ground. ¹³ And Joseph took them both, Ephraim in his right hand toward Israelʼs left hand, and Manasseh in his left hand toward Israelʼs right hand, and brought them near to him. ¹⁴ And Israel stretched out his right hand and placed it on Ephraimʼs head, who was the younger, and his left hand on Manassehʼs head, crossing his hands, although Manasseh was the firstborn. ¹⁵ Then he blessed Joseph, and said, "The God before whom my fathers Abraham and Isaac walked, the God who has been my shepherd all my life to this day, ¹⁶ the Angel who has redeemed me from all evil, bless the boys. And may my name be carried on in them, and the names of my fathers Abraham and Isaac. And may they grow into a multitude upon the earth." ¹⁷ When Joseph saw that his father placed his right hand on the head of Ephraim, it displeased him, and he grasped his fatherʼs hand to move it from Ephraimʼs head to Manassehʼs head. ¹⁸ And Joseph said to his father, "Not so, my father, for this one is the firstborn. Put your right hand on his head." ¹⁹ But his father refused, and said, "I know, my son, I know. He also will become a people, and he also will be great. However, his younger brother will be greater than he, and his descendants will become a multitude of nations." ²⁰ So he blessed them that day, saying, "By you Israel will pronounce blessing, saying, x91God make you as Ephraim and as Manasseh.ʼ" Thus he put Ephraim before Manasseh. ²¹ Then Israel said to Joseph, "Look, I am about to die, but God will be with you, and God will bring you back from this land to the land of your fathers. ²² Moreover, I give to you one portion more than your brothers, which I took out of the hand of the Amorites with my sword and with my bow."

²² Joseph is a fruitful son, a fruitful son by a spring. His branches run over a wall. ²³ The archers will attack him with bitterness, and shoot at him, and harass him. ²⁴ Yet his bow will remain steady, and his arms will be made agile by the hands of the Mighty One of Jacob, by the name of the Shepherd, the Rock of Israel, ²⁵ by the God of your father, who will help you, and El Shaddai, who will bless you with blessings of the sky above, blessings of the deep that lies below, and blessings of the breasts and of the womb. ²⁶ The blessings of your father are greater than the blessings of the ancient mountains, and the bounty of the everlasting hills. They will be on the head of Joseph, and on the brow of the prince among his brothers.

These are the descendants of Joseph after their families.
