AND it came to pass in the thirty second year of Yashar'el going down to Mitsrayim, that is in the seventy first year of the life of Yoceph, in that year died Phar'oh king of Mitsrayim, and Magron his son reigned in his stead.
And Phar'oh commanded Yoceph before his death to be a father to his son, Magron, and that Magron should be under the care of Yoceph and under his counsel.
And all Mitsrayim consented to this thing that Yoceph should be king over them, for all the Mitsriym loved Yoceph as of heretofore, only Magron the son of Phar'oh sat upon, his father's throne, and he became king in those days in his father's stead.
Magron was forty one years old when he began to reign, and forty years he reigned in Mitsrayim, and all Mitsrayim called his name Phar'oh after the name of his father, as it was their custom to do in Mitsrayim to every king that reigned over them.
And it came to pass when Phar'oh reigned in his father's stead, he placed the laws of Mitsrayim and all the affairs of government in the hand of Yoceph, as his father had commanded him.
And Yoceph became king over Mitsrayim, for he superintended over all Mitsrayim, and all Mitsrayim was under his care and under his counsel, for all Mitsrayim inclined to Yoceph after the death of Phar'oh, and they loved him exceedingly to reign over them.
But there were some people amongst them, who did not like him, saying, No stranger shall reign over us; still the whole government of Mitsrayim devolved in those days upon Yoceph, after the death of Phar'oh, he being the regulator, doing as he liked throughout the land without anyone interfering.
And all Mitsrayim was under the care of Yoceph, and Yoceph made war with all his surrounding enemies, and he subdued them; also all the land and all the Pelishtiym, unto the borders of Kena`an, did Yoceph subdue, and they were all under his power and they gave a yearly tax unto Yoceph.
And Phar'oh king of Mitsrayim sat upon his throne in his father's stead, but he was under the control and counsel of Yoceph, as he was at first under the control of his father.
Neither did he reign but in the land of Mitsrayim only, under the counsel of Yoceph, but Yoceph reigned over the whole country at that time, from Mitsrayim unto the great river Perath.
And Yoceph was successful in all his ways, and Yahuah was with him, and Yahuah gave Yoceph additional wisdom, and honor, and glory, and love toward him in the hearts of the Mitsriym and throughout the land, and Yoceph reigned over the whole country forty years.
And all the countries of the Pelishtiym and Kena`an and Tsiydon, and on the other side of the Yardan, brought presents unto Yoceph all his days, and the whole country was in the hand of Yoceph, and they brought unto him a yearly tribute as it was regulated, for Yoceph had fought against all his surrounding enemies and subdued them, and the whole country was in the hand of Yoceph, and Yoceph sat securely upon his throne in Mitsrayim.
And also all his brethren the sons of Ya`aqov dwelt securely in the land, all the days of Yoceph, and they were fruitful and multiplied exceedingly in the land, and they served Yahuah all their days, as their father Ya`aqov had commanded them.
And it came to pass at the end of many days and years, when the children of Esau were dwelling quietly in their land with Bela their king, that the children of Esau were fruitful and multiplied in the land, and they resolved to go and fight with the sons of Ya`aqov and all Mitsrayim, and to deliver their brother Tsepho, the son of Eliyphaz, and his men, for they were yet in those days slaves to Yoceph.
And the children of Esau sent unto all the children of the east, and they made peace with them, and all the children of the east came unto them to go with the children of Esau to Mitsrayim to battle.
And there came also unto them of the people of Angeas, king of Dinhabah, and they also sent unto the children of Yishma'el and they also came unto them.
And all this people assembled and came unto Se`iyr to assist the children of Esau in their battle, and this camp was very large and heavy with people, numerous as the sand of the sea, about eight hundred thousand men, infantry and cavalry, and all these troops went down to Mitsrayim to fight with the sons of Ya`aqov, and they encamped by Ra`amcec.
And Yoceph went forth with his brethren with the mighty men of Mitsrayim, about six hundred men, and they fought with them in the land of Ra`amcec; and the sons of Ya`aqov at that time again fought with the children of Esau, in the fiftieth year of the sons of Ya`aqov going down to Mitsrayim, that is the thirtieth year of the reign of Bela over the children of Esau in Se`iyr.
And Yahuah gave all the mighty men of Esau and the children of the east into the hand of Yoceph and his brethren, and the people of the children of Esau and the children of the east were smitten before Yoceph.
And of the people of Esau and the children of the east that were slain, there fell before the sons of Ya`aqov about two hundred thousand men, and their king Bela the son of Be`or fell with them in the battle, and when the children of Esau saw that their king had fallen in battle and was dead, their hands became weak in the combat.
And Yoceph and his brethren and all Mitsrayim were still smiting the people of the house of Esau, and all Esau's people were afraid of the sons of Ya`aqov and fled from before them.
And Yoceph and his brethren and all Mitsrayim pursued them a day's journey, and they slew yet from them about three hundred men, continuing to smite them in the road; and they afterward turned back from them.
And Yoceph and all his brethren returned to Mitsrayim, not one man was missing from them, but of the Mitsriym there fell twelve men.
And when Yoceph returned to Mitsrayim he ordered Tsepho and his men to be additionally bound, and they bound them in irons and they increased their grief.
And all the people of the children of Esau, and the children of the east, returned in shame each unto his city, for all the mighty men that were with them had fallen in battle.
And when the children of Esau saw that their king had died in battle they hastened and took a man from the people of the children of the east; his name was Yovav the son of Zerach, from the land of Botsrah, and they caused him to reign over them instead of Bela their king.
And Yovav sat upon the throne of Bela as king in his stead, and Yovav reigned in Edom over all the children of Esau ten years, and the children of Esau went no more to fight with the sons of Ya`aqov from that day forward, for the sons of Esau knew the valor of the sons of Ya`aqov, and they were greatly afraid of them.
But from that day forward the children of Esau hated the sons of Ya`aqov, and the hatred and enmity were very strong between them all the days, unto this day.
And it came to pass after this, at the end of ten years, Yovav, the son of Zerach, from Botsrah, died, and the children of Esau took a man whose name was Chusham, from the land of Teyman, and they made him king over them instead of Yovav, and Chusham reigned in Edom over all the children of Esau for twenty years.
And Yoceph, king of Mitsrayim, and his brethren, and all the children of Yashar'el dwelt securely in Mitsrayim in those days, together with all the children of Yoceph and his brethren, having no hindrance or evil accident and the land of Mitsrayim was at that time at rest from war in the days of Yoceph and his brethren.
