(7:9–16) This paragraph recounts how God remained with Joseph when he was sold into slavery in Egypt (7:9–10). Joseph’s success in Egypt benefited Jacob and his family when the famine affected them (7:11–12). Their reliance on Egypt for grain during the famine led to a reunion between Joseph and his family, who were subsequently invited to live in Egypt, where Jacob died (7:13–15). The assertion that Jacob and the other patriarchs are buried in Shechem is not attested elsewhere
