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.
