      9“The patriarchs, moved with jealousy against Joseph, sold him into Egypt. God was with him

      10and delivered him out of all his afflictions, and gave him favor and wisdom before Pharaoh, king of Egypt. He made him governor over Egypt and all his house.

      11Now a famine came over all the land of Egypt and Canaan, and great affliction. Our fathers found no food.

      12But when Jacob heard that there was grain in Egypt, he sent out our fathers the first time.

      13On the second time Joseph was made known to his brothers, and Joseph’s family was revealed to Pharaoh.

      14Joseph sent and summoned Jacob his father and all his relatives, seventy-five souls.

      15Jacob went down into Egypt and he died, himself and our fathers;

      16and they were brought back to Shechem and laid in the tomb that Abraham bought for a price in silver from the children of Hamor of Shechem.

  • Genesis 33:18–19 says that Jacob came to the city of Shechem, which is in the land of Canaan, and bought the parcel of ground where he had spread his tent, at the hand of the children of Hamor, Shechem’s father, for one hundred pieces of money.

    • GEN 33:5–20, engwebp

      5He lifted up his eyes, and saw the women and the children; and said, “Who are these with you?” He said, “The children whom God has graciously given your servant.”

      6Then the servants came near with their children, and they bowed themselves.

      7Leah also and her children came near, and bowed themselves. After them, Joseph came near with Rachel, and they bowed themselves.

      8Esau said, “What do you mean by all this company which I met?” Jacob said, “To find favor in the sight of my lord.”

      9Esau said, “I have enough, my brother; let that which you have be yours.”

      10Jacob said, “Please, no, if I have now found favor in your sight, then receive my present at my hand, because I have seen your face, as one sees the face of God, and you were pleased with me.

      11Please take the gift that I brought to you, because God has dealt graciously with me, and because I have enough.” He urged him, and he took it.

      12Esau said, “Let’s take our journey, and let’s go, and I will go before you.”

      13Jacob said to him, “My lord knows that the children are tender, and that the flocks and herds with me have their young, and if they overdrive them one day, all the flocks will die.

      14Please let my lord pass over before his servant, and I will lead on gently, according to the pace of the livestock that are before me and according to the pace of the children, until I come to my lord to Seir.”

      15Esau said, “Let me now leave with you some of the people who are with me.” He said, “Why? Let me find favor in the sight of my lord.”

      16So Esau returned that day on his way to Seir.

      17Jacob traveled to Succoth, built himself a house, and made shelters for his livestock. Therefore the name of the place is called Succoth.

      18Jacob came in peace to the city of Shechem, which is in the land of Canaan, when he came from Paddan Aram; and encamped before the city.

      19He bought the parcel of ground where he had spread his tent, at the hand of the children of Hamor, Shechem’s father, for one hundred pieces of money.

      20He erected an altar there, and called it El Elohe Israel.

      28All these are the twelve tribes of Israel, and this is what their father spoke to them, and blessed them. He blessed everyone according to his own blessing.

      29He instructed them, and said to them, “I am to be gathered to my people. Bury me with my fathers in the cave that is in the field of Ephron the Hittite,

      30in the cave that is in the field of Machpelah, which is before Mamre, in the land of Canaan, which Abraham bought with the field from Ephron the Hittite as a burial place.

      31There they buried Abraham and Sarah, his wife. There they buried Isaac and Rebekah, his wife, and there I buried Leah:

      32the field and the cave that is therein, which was purchased from the children of Heth.”

      33When Jacob finished charging his sons, he gathered up his feet into the bed, breathed his last breath, and was gathered to his people.

    • GEN 50:1–21, engwebp

      1Joseph fell on his father’s face, wept on him, and kissed him.

      2Joseph commanded his servants, the physicians, to embalm his father; and the physicians embalmed Israel.

      3Forty days were used for him, for that is how many days it takes to embalm. The Egyptians wept for Israel for seventy days.

      4When the days of weeping for him were past, Joseph spoke to Pharaoh’s staff, saying, “If now I have found favor in your eyes, please speak in the ears of Pharaoh, saying,

      5‘My father made me swear, saying, “Behold, I am dying. Bury me in my grave which I have dug for myself in the land of Canaan.” Now therefore, please let me go up and bury my father, and I will come again.’”

      6Pharaoh said, “Go up, and bury your father, just like he made you swear.”

      7Joseph went up to bury his father; and with him went up all the servants of Pharaoh, the elders of his house, all the elders of the land of Egypt,

      8all the house of Joseph, his brothers, and his father’s house. Only their little ones, their flocks, and their herds, they left in the land of Goshen.

      9Both chariots and horsemen went up with him. It was a very great company.

      10They came to the threshing floor of Atad, which is beyond the Jordan, and there they lamented with a very great and severe lamentation. He mourned for his father seven days.

      11When the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites, saw the mourning in the floor of Atad, they said, “This is a grievous mourning by the Egyptians.” Therefore its name was called Abel Mizraim, which is beyond the Jordan.

      12His sons did to him just as he commanded them,

      13for his sons carried him into the land of Canaan, and buried him in the cave of the field of Machpelah, which Abraham bought with the field, as a possession for a burial site, from Ephron the Hittite, near Mamre.

      14Joseph returned into Egypt—he, and his brothers, and all that went up with him to bury his father, after he had buried his father.

      15When Joseph’s brothers saw that their father was dead, they said, “It may be that Joseph will hate us, and will fully pay us back for all the evil which we did to him.”

      16They sent a message to Joseph, saying, “Your father commanded before he died, saying,

      17‘You shall tell Joseph, “Now please forgive the disobedience of your brothers, and their sin, because they did evil to you.”’ Now, please forgive the disobedience of the servants of the God of your father.” Joseph wept when they spoke to him.

      18His brothers also went and fell down before his face; and they said, “Behold, we are your servants.”

      19Joseph said to them, “Don’t be afraid, for am I in the place of God?

      20As for you, you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good, to save many people alive, as is happening today.

      21Now therefore don’t be afraid. I will provide for you and your little ones.” He comforted them, and spoke kindly to them.

This collection records each passage as it reads. Acts 7:16 names Abraham, Hamor and Shechem, so it is evidence for those three entries; the collection does not decide how the tomb of Acts 7:16 relates to the ground Jacob bought at Shechem in Genesis 33:19, to the parcel of ground at Shechem where Joseph’s bones were buried in Joshua 24:32, or to the cave in the field of Machpelah that Abraham bought from Ephron.
