1 Nephi 5:14

And it came to pass that my father, Lehi, also found

upon the plates of brass a genealogy of his fathers;

wherefore he knew that he was a descendant of Joseph;

yea, even that Joseph who was the son of Jacob,

who was sold into Egypt, and who was preserved by the hand of the Lord,

that he might preserve his father, Jacob, and all his household

from perishing with famine.
