Genesis 47:1 Then Joseph3130 came935 and told5046 Pharaoh,6547 and said,559 My father1 and my brethren,251 and their flocks,6629 and their herds,1241 and all that they have, are come out935 of the land776 of Canaan;3667 and, behold, they are in the land776 of Goshen.16572 And he took3947 some7097 of his brethren,251even five2568 men,582 and presented3322 them unto6440 Pharaoh.65473 And Pharaoh6547 said559 unto his brethren,251 What is your occupation?4639 And they said559 unto Pharaoh,6547 Thy servants5650are shepherds,74626629 both we, and also our fathers.14 They said559 moreover unto Pharaoh,6547 For to sojourn1481 in the land776 are we come;935 for thy servants5650 have no pasture4829 for their flocks;6629 for the famine7458is sore3515 in the land776 of Canaan:3667 now therefore, we pray thee, let thy servants5650 dwell3427 in the land776 of Goshen.16575 And Pharaoh6547 spake559 unto Joseph,3130 saying,559 Thy father1 and thy brethren251 are come935 unto thee:
6 The land776 of Egypt4714is before thee;6440 in the best4315 of the land776 make34272794 thy father1 and brethren251 to dwell;3427 in the land776 of Goshen1657 let them dwell:3427 and if thou knowest30453426any men582 of activity2428 among them, then make them7760 rulers8269 over my cattle.47357 And Joseph3130 brought in935 Jacob3290 his father,1 and set him5975 before6440 Pharaoh:6547 and Jacob3290 blessed1288 Pharaoh.65478 And Pharaoh6547 said559 unto Jacob,3290 How4100 old241631178141art thou?{Heb. How many are the days of the years of thy life?}9 And Jacob3290 said559 unto Pharaoh,6547 The days3117 of the years8141 of my pilgrimage4033are an hundred3967 and thirty7970 years:8141 few4592 and evil7451 have the days3117 of the years8141 of my life2416 been, and have not attained5381 unto the days3117 of the years8141 of the life2416 of my fathers1 in the days3117 of their pilgrimage.403310 And Jacob3290 blessed1288 Pharaoh,6547 and went out3318 from before6440 Pharaoh.6547
Genesis 47:11 And Joseph3130 placed3427 his father1 and his brethren,251 and gave5414 them a possession272 in the land776 of Egypt,4714 in the best4315 of the land,776 in the land776 of Rameses,7486 as Pharaoh6547 had commanded.668012 And Joseph3130 nourished3557 his father,1 and his brethren,251 and all his father's1 household,1004 with bread,3899 according6310 to their families.2945{Or, as a little child is nourished. Heb. according to the little ones}
Genesis 47:13 And therewas no bread3899 in all the land;776 for the famine7458was very3966 sore,3515 so that the land776 of Egypt4714 and all the land776 of Canaan3667 fainted3856 by reason6440 of the famine.745814 And Joseph3130 gathered up3950 all the money3701 that was found4672 in the land776 of Egypt,4714 and in the land776 of Canaan,3667 for the corn7668 which they bought:7666 and Joseph3130 brought935 the money3701 into Pharaoh's6547 house.100415 And when money3701 failed8552 in the land776 of Egypt,4714 and in the land776 of Canaan,3667 all the Egyptians4714 came935 unto Joseph,3130 and said,559 Give3051 us bread:3899 for why should we die4191 in thy presence? for the money3701 faileth.65616 And Joseph3130 said,559 Give3051 your cattle;4735 and I will give5414 you for your cattle,4735 if money3701 fail.65617 And they brought935 their cattle4735 unto Joseph:3130 and Joseph3130 gave5414 them bread3899inexchange for horses,5483 and for the flocks,6629 and for the cattle4735 of the herds,1241 and for the asses:2543 and he fed5095 them{Heb. led them} with bread3899 for all their cattle4735 for that year.8141
Genesis 47:18 When that year8141 was ended,8552 they came935 unto him the second8145 year,8141 and said559 unto him, We will not hide3582it from my lord,113 how that our money3701 is spent;8552 my lord113 also hath413 our herds4735 of cattle;929 there is not ought left7604 in the sight6440 of my lord,113 but our bodies,1472 and our lands:12719 Wherefore shall we die4191 before thine eyes,5869 both we and our land?127 buy7069 us and our land127 for bread,3899 and we and our land127 will be servants5650 unto Pharaoh:6547 and give5414us seed,2233 that we may live,2421 and not die,4191 that the land127 be not desolate.3456
Genesis 47:20 And Joseph3130 bought7069 all the land127 of Egypt4714 for Pharaoh;6547 for the Egyptians4714 sold4376 every man376 his field,7704 because the famine7458 prevailed2388 over them: so the land776 became Pharaoh's.654721 And as for the people,5971 he removed5674 them to cities5892 from one end7097 of the borders1366 of Egypt4714 even to the other end7097 thereof.
22 Only the land127 of the priests3548{Or, Princes} bought he7069 not; for the priests3548 had a portion2706assignedthem of Pharaoh,6547 and did eat398 their portion2706 which Pharaoh6547 gave5414 them: wherefore they sold4376 not their lands.127
Genesis 47:23 Then Joseph3130 said559 unto the people,5971 Behold, I have bought7069853 you this day3117 and your land127 for Pharaoh:6547 lo,1887hereis seed2233 for you, and ye shall sow2232 the land.12724 And it shall come to pass in the increase,8393 that ye shall give5414 the fifth2549part unto Pharaoh,6547 and four702 parts3027 shall be your own, for seed2233 of the field,7704 and for your food,400 and for them of your households,1004 and for food398 for your little ones.294525 And they said,559 Thou hast saved our lives:2421 let us find4672 grace2580 in the sight5869 of my lord,113 and we will be Pharaoh's6547 servants.565026 And Joseph3130 made7760 it a law2706 over the land127 of Egypt4714 unto this day,3117that Pharaoh6547 should have the fifth2569part; except7535 the land127 of the priests3548{Or, Princes} only, which became not Pharaoh's.6547
Genesis 47:27 And Israel3478 dwelt3427 in the land776 of Egypt,4714 in the country776 of Goshen;1657 and they had possessions270 therein, and grew,6509 and multiplied7235 exceedingly.396628 And Jacob3290 lived2421 in the land776 of Egypt4714 seventeen62407651 years:8141 so the whole age24163117 of Jacob3290{Heb. the days of the years of his life} was an hundred3967 forty7058141 and seven7651 years.8141
Genesis 47:29 And the time3117 drew nigh7126 that Israel3478 must die:4191 and he called7121 his son1121 Joseph,3130 and said559 unto him, If now I have found4672 grace2580 in thy sight,5869 put,7760 I pray thee, thy hand3027 under my thigh,3409 and deal6213 kindly2617 and truly571 with me; bury6912 me not, I pray thee, in Egypt:471430 But I will lie7901 with my fathers,1 and thou shalt carry5375 me out of Egypt,4714 and bury6912 me in their buryingplace.6900 And he said,559 I will do6213 as thou hast said.169731 And he said,559 Swear7650 unto me. And he sware7650 unto him. And Israel3478 bowed7812 himself upon the bed's4296 head.7218
