GE-47:1 Then Joseph came and told Pharaoh, and said, My father


  • and my

  • brethren, and their flocks, and their herds, and all that they
  • have,

  • are come out of the land of Canaan; and, behold, they [are] in
  • the

  • land of Goshen.



  • GE-47:2 And he took some of his brethren, [even] five men, and

  • presented them unto Pharaoh.



  • GE-47:3 And Pharaoh said unto his brethren, What [is] your

  • occupation? And they said unto Pharaoh, Thy servants [are]
  • shepherds,

  • both we, [and] also our fathers.



  • GE-47:4 They said moreover unto Pharaoh, For to sojourn in the
  • land

  • are we come; for thy servants have no pasture for their flocks;
  • for

  • the famine [is] sore in the land of Canaan: now therefore, we
  • pray

  • thee, let thy servants dwell in the land of Goshen.



  • GE-47:5 And Pharaoh spake unto Joseph, saying, Thy father and
  • thy

  • brethren are come unto thee:



  • GE-47:6 The land of Egypt [is] before thee; in the best of the
  • land

  • make thy father and brethren to dwell; in the land of Goshen let
  • them

  • dwell: and if thou knowest [any] men of activity among them,
  • then make

  • them rulers over my cattle.



  • GE-47:7 And Joseph brought in Jacob his father, and set him
  • before

  • Pharaoh: and Jacob blessed Pharaoh.



  • GE-47:8 And Pharaoh said unto Jacob, How old [art] thou?



  • GE-47:9 And Jacob said unto Pharaoh, The days of the years of my

  • pilgrimage [are] an hundred and thirty years: few and evil have
  • the

  • days of the years of my life been, and have not attained unto
  • the days

  • of the years of the life of my fathers in the days of their

  • pilgrimage.



  • GE-47:10 And Jacob blessed Pharaoh, and went out from before
  • Pharaoh.



  • GE-47:11 And Joseph placed his father and his brethren, and
  • gave them

  • a possession in the land of Egypt, in the best of the land, in
  • the

  • land of Rameses, as Pharaoh had commanded.



  • GE-47:12 And Joseph nourished his father, and his brethren, and
  • all

  • his father's household, with bread, according to [their]
  • families.



  • GE-47:13 And [there was] no bread in all the land; for the
  • famine

  • [was] very sore, so that the land of Egypt and [all] the land of

  • Canaan fainted by reason of the famine.



  • GE-47:14 And Joseph gathered up all the money that was found in
  • the

  • land of Egypt, and in the land of Canaan, for the corn which they

  • bought: and Joseph brought the money into Pharaoh's house.



  • GE-47:15 And when money failed in the land of Egypt, and in the
  • land

  • of Canaan, all the Egyptians came unto Joseph, and said, Give us

  • bread: for why should we die in thy presence? for the money
  • faileth.



  • GE-47:16 And Joseph said, Give your cattle; and I will give you
  • for

  • your cattle, if money fail.



  • GE-47:17 And they brought their cattle unto Joseph: and Joseph
  • gave

  • them bread [in exchange] for horses, and for the flocks, and for
  • the

  • cattle of the herds, and for the asses: and he fed them with
  • bread for

  • all their cattle for that year.



  • GE-47:18 When that year was ended, they came unto him the second

  • year, and said unto him, We will not hide [it] from my lord, how
  • that

  • our money is spent; my lord also hath our herds of cattle; there
  • is

  • not ought left in the sight of my lord, but our bodies, and our
  • lands:



  • GE-47:19 Wherefore shall we die before thine eyes, both we and
  • our

  • land? buy us and our land for bread, and we and our land will be

  • servants unto Pharaoh: and give [us] seed, that we may live, and
  • not

  • die, that the land be not desolate.



  • GE-47:20 And Joseph bought all the land of Egypt for Pharaoh;
  • for the

  • Egyptians sold every man his field, because the famine prevailed
  • over

  • them: so the land became Pharaoh's.



  • GE-47:21 And as for the people, he removed them to cities from
  • [one]

  • end of the borders of Egypt even to the [other] end thereof.



  • GE-47:22 Only the land of the priests bought he not; for the
  • priests

  • had a portion [assigned them] of Pharaoh, and did eat their
  • portion

  • which Pharaoh gave them: wherefore they sold not their lands.



  • GE-47:23 Then Joseph said unto the people, Behold, I have
  • bought you

  • this day and your land for Pharaoh: lo, [here is] seed for you,
  • and ye

  • shall sow the land.



  • GE-47:24 And it shall come to pass in the increase, that ye
  • shall

  • give the fifth [part] unto Pharaoh, and four parts shall be your
  • own,

  • for seed of the field, and for your food, and for them of your

  • households, and for food for your little ones.



  • GE-47:25 And they said, Thou hast saved our lives: let us find
  • grace

  • in the sight of my lord, and we will be Pharaoh's servants.



  • GE-47:26 And Joseph made it a law over the land of Egypt unto
  • this

  • day, [that] Pharaoh should have the fifth [part]; except the
  • land of

  • the priests only, [which] became not Pharaoh's.



  • GE-47:27 And Israel dwelt in the land of Egypt, in the country
  • of

  • Goshen; and they had possessions therein, and grew, and
  • multiplied

  • exceedingly.



  • GE-47:28 And Jacob lived in the land of Egypt seventeen years:
  • so the

  • whole age of Jacob was an hundred forty and seven years.



  • GE-47:29 And the time drew nigh that Israel must die: and he
  • called

  • his son Joseph, and said unto him, If now I have found grace in
  • thy

  • sight, put, I pray thee, thy hand under my thigh, and deal
  • kindly and

  • truly with me; bury me not, I pray thee, in Egypt:



  • GE-47:30 But I will lie with my fathers, and thou shalt carry
  • me out

  • of Egypt, and bury me in their buryingplace. And he said, I will
  • do as

  • thou hast said.



  • GE-47:31 And he said, Swear unto me. And he sware unto him. And

  • Israel bowed himself upon the bed's head.
