3 verses in the King James Version. Word study for “joseph” →
Seek the LORD , and ye shall live; lest he break out like fire in the house of Joseph, and devour it , and there be none to quench it in Beth-el.
Hate the evil, and love the good, and establish judgment in the gate: it may be that the LORD God of hosts will be gracious unto the remnant of Joseph.
That drink wine in bowls, and anoint themselves with the chief ointments: but they are not grieved for the affliction of Joseph.
