47So Joseph went in and told Pharaoh, "My father and my brothers, with their flocks and herds and all that they possess, have come from the land of Canaan. They are now in the land of Goshen."H3130H935H5046H6547H559H1H251H6629H1241H935H776H3667H776H16572And from among his brothers he took five men and presented them to Pharaoh.H3947H7097H251H2568H582H3322H6440H65473Pharaoh said to his brothers, "What is your occupation?" And they said to Pharaoh, "Your servants are shepherds, as our fathers were."H6547H559H251H4639H559H6547H5650H7462H6629H14They said to Pharaoh, "We have come to sojourn in the land, for there is no pasture for your servants' flocks, for the famine is severe in the land of Canaan. And now, please let your servants dwell in the land of Goshen."H559H6547H1481H776H935H5650H4829H6629H7458H3515H776H3667H5650H3427H776H16575Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, "Your father and your brothers have come to you.H6547H559H3130H559H1H251H9356The land of Egypt is before you. Settle your father and your brothers in the best of the land. Let them settle in the land of Goshen, and if you know any able men among them, put them in charge of my livestock."H776H4714H6440H4315H776H3427H1H251H3427H776H1657H3427H3045H3426H582H2428H7760H8269H47357Then Joseph brought in Jacob his father and stood him before Pharaoh, and Jacob blessed Pharaoh.H3130H935H3290H1H5975H6440H6547H3290H1288H65478And Pharaoh said to Jacob, "How many are the days of the years of your life?"H6547H559H3290H4100H2416H3117H81419And Jacob said to Pharaoh, "The days of the years of my sojourning are 130 years. Few and evil have been the days of the years of my life, and they have not attained to the days of the years of the life of my fathers in the days of their sojourning."H3290H559H6547H3117H8141H4033H3967H7970H8141H4592H7451H3117H8141H2416H5381H3117H8141H2416H1H3117H403310And Jacob blessed Pharaoh and went out from the presence of Pharaoh.H3290H1288H6547H3318H6440H654711Then Joseph settled his father and his brothers 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.H3130H3427H1H251H5414H272H776H4714H4315H776H776H7486H6547H668012And Joseph provided his father, his brothers, and all his father's household with food, according to the number of their dependents.H3130H3557H1H251H1H1004H3899H6310H294513Now there was no food in all the land, for the famine was very severe, so that the land of Egypt and the land of Canaan languished by reason of the famine.H3899H776H7458H3966H3515H776H4714H776H3667H3856H6440H745814And Joseph gathered up all the money that was found in the land of Egypt and in the land of Canaan, in exchange for the grain that they bought. And Joseph brought the money into Pharaoh's house.H3130H3950H3701H4672H776H4714H776H3667H7668H7666H3130H935H3701H6547H100415And when the money was all spent in the land of Egypt and in the land of Canaan, all the Egyptians came to Joseph and said, "Give us food. Why should we die before your eyes? For our money is gone."H3701H8552H776H4714H776H3667H4714H935H3130H559H3051H3899H4191H3701H65616And Joseph answered, "Give your livestock, and I will give you food in exchange for your livestock, if your money is gone."H3130H559H3051H4735H5414H4735H3701H65617So they brought their livestock to Joseph, and Joseph gave them food in exchange for the horses, the flocks, the herds, and the donkeys. He supplied them with food in exchange for all their livestock that year.H935H4735H3130H3130H5414H3899H5483H6629H4735H1241H2543H5095H3899H4735H814118And when that year was ended, they came to him the following year and said to him, "We will not hide from my lord that our money is all spent. The herds of livestock are my lord's. There is nothing left in the sight of my lord but our bodies and our land.H8141H8552H935H8145H8141H559H3582H113H3701H8552H113H413H4735H929H7604H6440H113H1472H12719Why should we die before your eyes, both we and our land? Buy us and our land for food, and we with our land will be servants to Pharaoh. And give us seed that we may live and not die, and that the land may not be desolate."H4191H5869H127H7069H127H3899H127H5650H6547H5414H2233H2421H4191H127H345620So Joseph bought all the land of Egypt for Pharaoh, for all the Egyptians sold their fields, because the famine was severe on them. The land became Pharaoh's.H3130H7069H127H4714H6547H4714H4376H376H7704H7458H2388H776H654721As for the people, he made servants of them from one end of Egypt to the other.H5971H5674H5892H7097H1366H4714H709722Only the land of the priests he did not buy, for the priests had a fixed allowance from Pharaoh and lived on the allowance that Pharaoh gave them; therefore they did not sell their land.H127H3548H7069H3548H2706H6547H398H2706H6547H5414H4376H12723Then Joseph said to the people, "Behold, I have this day bought you and your land for Pharaoh. Now here is seed for you, and you shall sow the land.H3130H559H5971H7069H853H3117H127H6547H1887H2233H2232H12724And at the harvests you shall give a fifth to Pharaoh, and four fifths shall be your own, as seed for the field and as food for yourselves and your households, and as food for your little ones."H8393H5414H2549H6547H702H3027H2233H7704H400H1004H398H294525And they said, "You have saved our lives; may it please my lord, we will be servants to Pharaoh."H559H2421H4672H2580H5869H113H6547H565026So Joseph made it a statute concerning the land of Egypt, and it stands to this day, that Pharaoh should have the fifth; the land of the priests alone did not become Pharaoh's.H3130H7760H2706H127H4714H3117H6547H2569H7535H127H3548H654727Thus Israel settled in the land of Egypt, in the land of Goshen. And they gained possessions in it, and were fruitful and multiplied greatly.H3478H3427H776H4714H776H1657H270H6509H7235H396628And Jacob lived in the land of Egypt seventeen years. So the days of Jacob, the years of his life, were 147 years.H3290H2421H776H4714H6240H7651H8141H2416H3117H3290H3967H705H8141H7651H814129And when the time drew near that Israel must die, he called his son Joseph and said to him, "If now I have found favor in your sight, put your hand under my thigh and promise to deal kindly and truly with me. Do not bury me in Egypt,H3117H7126H3478H4191H7121H1121H3130H559H4672H2580H5869H7760H3027H3409H6213H2617H571H6912H471430but let me lie with my fathers. Carry me out of Egypt and bury me in their burying place." He answered, "I will do as you have said."H7901H1H5375H4714H6912H6900H559H6213H169731And he said, "Swear to me"; and he swore to him. Then Israel bowed himself upon the head of his bed.H559H7650H7650H3478H7812H4296H7218
