Sirach Honours Joseph




Apocrypha: Sirach Chapter 48

....

14 But upon the earth was no man created like Enoch; for he was taken from the earth.


15 Neither was there a young man born like Joseph, a governor of his brethren, a stay of the people, whose bones were regarded of the Lord.

16 Sem and Seth were in great honour among men, and so was Adam above every living thing in creation.

....

And Paul Hebrews 11


....

22 By faith Joseph, when his end was near, spoke about the exodus of the Israelites from Egypt and gave instructions concerning the burial of his bones.
