4  For behold, thou art the fruit of my loins; and I am a descendant of ^aJoseph who was carried captive into Egypt. And great were the covenants of the Lord which he made unto Joseph.

  21  Wherefore, for this cause hath the Lord God promised unto me that these things which I write shall be kept and preserved, and handed down unto my seed, from generation to generation, that the promise may be fulfilled unto Joseph, that his seed should never perish as long as the earth should stand.

  10  And then cometh the day when the arm of the Lord shall be revealed in power in convincing the nations, the heathen nations, the house of Joseph, of the gospel of their salvation.
