Herren sa til dem: «Rør ikke dem Jeg har velsignet og valgt ut. Gjør ikke Mine profeter noe ondt!» Så lot Han det bli hungersnød over landet ved at hele brødforsyningen ble ødelagt. Han hadde sendt en mann foran de andre. Det var Josef, som ble solgt som slave. De mishandlet ham og satte ham i lenker. Slik holdt de på – helt til det han sa gikk i oppfyllelse. Herren lot det skje, Josef ble satt på prøve av det Herren sa til ham. Kongen sendte bud på ham og slapp ham løs. Folkenes hersker ga ham fri og satte ham til herre over sitt hus og hersker over hele sin eiendom.
