4They 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.H559H6547H1481H776H935H5650H4829H6629H7458H3515H776H3667H5650H3427H776H1657
5And Pharaoh spake unto Joseph, saying, Thy father and thy brethren are come unto thee:H6547H559H3130H559H1H251H935
6The 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.H776H4714H6440H4315H776H3427H1H251H3427H776H1657H3427H3045H3426H582H2428H7760H8269H4735

10And Jacob blessed Pharaoh, and went out from before Pharaoh.H3290H1288H6547H3318H6440H6547
11And 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.H3130H3427H1H251H5414H272H776H4714H4315H776H776H7486H6547H6680
12And Joseph nourished his father, and his brethren, and all his father's household, with bread, according to their families.H3130H3557H1H251H1H1004H3899H6310H2945
13And 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.H3899H776H7458H3966H3515H776H4714H776H3667H3856H6440H7458
14And 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.H3130H3950H3701H4672H776H4714H776H3667H7668H7666H3130H935H3701H6547H1004
15And 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.H3701H8552H776H4714H776H3667H4714H935H3130H559H3051H3899H4191H3701H656
16And Joseph said, Give your cattle; and I will give you for your cattle, if money fail.H3130H559H3051H4735H5414H4735H3701H656

18When 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:H8141H8552H935H8145H8141H559H3582H113H3701H8552H113H413H4735H929H7604H6440H113H1472H127
19Wherefore 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.H4191H5869H127H7069H127H3899H127H5650H6547H5414H2233H2421H4191H127H3456
20And 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.H3130H7069H127H4714H6547H4714H4376H376H7704H7458H2388H776H6547
21And as for the people, he removed them to cities from one end of the borders of Egypt even to the other end thereof.H5971H5674H5892H7097H1366H4714H7097
22Only 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.H127H3548H7069H3548H2706H6547H398H2706H6547H5414H4376H127
23Then 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.H3130H559H5971H7069H853H3117H127H6547H1887H2233H2232H127
24And 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.H8393H5414H2549H6547H702H3027H2233H7704H400H1004H398H2945
25And they said, Thou hast saved our lives: let us find grace in the sight of my lord, and we will be Pharaoh's servants.H559H2421H4672H2580H5869H113H6547H5650
26And 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.H3130H7760H2706H127H4714H3117H6547H2569H7535H127H3548H6547
27And Israel dwelt in the land of Egypt, in the country of Goshen; and they had possessions therein, and grew, and multiplied exceedingly.H3478H3427H776H4714H776H1657H270H6509H7235H3966
28And Jacob lived in the land of Egypt seventeen years: so the whole age of Jacob was an hundred forty and seven years.H3290H2421H776H4714H6240H7651H8141H2416H3117H3290H3967H705H8141H7651H8141
29And 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:H3117H7126H3478H4191H7121H1121H3130H559H4672H2580H5869H7760H3027H3409H6213H2617H571H6912H4714
30But 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.H7901H1H5375H4714H6912H6900H559H6213H1697
31And he said, Swear unto me. And he sware unto him. And Israel bowed himself upon the bed's head.H559H7650H7650H3478H7812H4296H7218
