Genesis 47:1 - Prayer Tents

47Then Joseph went in and told Pharaoh, and said, "My father and my brothers and their flocks and their herds and all that they have, have come out of the land of Canaan; and behold, they are in the land of Goshen."H3130H935H5046H6547H559H1H251H6629H1241H935H776H3667H776H1657 2And he took five men from among his brothers, and presented them to Pharaoh.H3947H7097H251H2568H582H3322H6440H6547 3Then Pharaoh said to his brothers, "What is your occupation?" So they said to Pharaoh, "Your servants are shepherds, both we and our fathers."H6547H559H251H4639H559H6547H5650H7462H6629H1 4And they 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. Now, therefore, please let your servants live in the land of Goshen."H559H6547H1481H776H935H5650H4829H6629H7458H3515H776H3667H5650H3427H776H1657 5Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, "Your father and your brothers have come to you.H6547H559H3130H559H1H251H935 6"The land of Egypt is at your disposal; settle your father and your brothers in the best of the land, let them live in the land of Goshen; and if you know any capable men among them, then put them in charge of my livestock."H776H4714H6440H4315H776H3427H1H251H3427H776H1657H3427H3045H3426H582H2428H7760H8269H4735 7Then Joseph brought his father Jacob and presented him to Pharaoh; and Jacob blessed Pharaoh.H3130H935H3290H1H5975H6440H6547H3290H1288H6547 8And Pharaoh said to Jacob, "How many years have you lived?"H6547H559H3290H4100H2416H3117H8141 9So Jacob said to Pharaoh, "The years of my sojourning are one hundred and thirty; few and unpleasant have been the years of my life, nor have they attained the years that my fathers lived during the days of their sojourning."H3290H559H6547H3117H8141H4033H3967H7970H8141H4592H7451H3117H8141H2416H5381H3117H8141H2416H1H3117H4033 10And Jacob blessed Pharaoh, and went out from his presence.H3290H1288H6547H3318H6440H6547 11So 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 ordered.H3130H3427H1H251H5414H272H776H4714H4315H776H776H7486H6547H6680 12And Joseph provided his father and his brothers and all his father's household with food, according to their little ones.H3130H3557H1H251H1H1004H3899H6310H2945 13Now there was no food in all the land, because the famine was very severe, so that the land of Egypt and the land of Canaan languished because of the famine.H3899H776H7458H3966H3515H776H4714H776H3667H3856H6440H7458 14And Joseph gathered all the money that was found in the land of Egypt and in the land of Canaan for the grain which they bought, and Joseph brought the money into Pharaoh's house.H3130H3950H3701H4672H776H4714H776H3667H7668H7666H3130H935H3701H6547H1004 15And 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, for why should we die in your presence? For [our] money is gone."H3701H8552H776H4714H776H3667H4714H935H3130H559H3051H3899H4191H3701H656 16Then Joseph said, "Give up your livestock, and I will give you [food] for your livestock, since [your] money is gone."H3130H559H3051H4735H5414H4735H3701H656 17So they brought their livestock to Joseph, and Joseph gave them food in exchange for the horses and the flocks and the herds and the donkeys; and he fed them with food in exchange for all their livestock that year.H935H4735H3130H3130H5414H3899H5483H6629H4735H1241H2543H5095H3899H4735H8141 18And when that year was ended, they came to him the next year and said to him, "We will not hide from my lord that our money is all spent, and the cattle are my lord's. There is nothing left for my lord except our bodies and our lands.H8141H8552H935H8145H8141H559H3582H113H3701H8552H113H413H4735H929H7604H6440H113H1472H127 19"Why should we die before your eyes, both we and our land? Buy us and our land for food, and we and our land will be slaves to Pharaoh. So give us seed, that we may live and not die, and that the land may not be desolate."H4191H5869H127H7069H127H3899H127H5650H6547H5414H2233H2421H4191H127H3456 20So Joseph bought all the land of Egypt for Pharaoh, for every Egyptian sold his field, because the famine was severe upon them. Thus the land became Pharaoh's.H3130H7069H127H4714H6547H4714H4376H376H7704H7458H2388H776H6547 21And as for the people, he removed them to the cities from one end of Egypt's border to the other.H5971H5674H5892H7097H1366H4714H7097 22Only the land of the priests he did not buy, for the priests had an allotment from Pharaoh, and they lived off the allotment which Pharaoh gave them. Therefore, they did not sell their land.H127H3548H7069H3548H2706H6547H398H2706H6547H5414H4376H127 23Then Joseph said to the people, "Behold, I have today bought you and your land for Pharaoh; now, [here] is seed for you, and you may sow the land.H3130H559H5971H7069H853H3117H127H6547H1887H2233H2232H127 24"And at the harvest you shall give a fifth to Pharaoh, and four-fifths shall be your own for seed of the field and for your food and for those of your households and as food for your little ones."H8393H5414H2549H6547H702H3027H2233H7704H400H1004H398H2945 25So they said, "You have saved our lives! Let us find favor in the sight of my lord, and we will be Pharaoh's slaves."H559H2421H4672H2580H5869H113H6547H5650 26And Joseph made it a statute concerning the land of Egypt [valid] to this day, that Pharaoh should have the fifth; only the land of the priests did not become Pharaoh's.H3130H7760H2706H127H4714H3117H6547H2569H7535H127H3548H6547 27Now Israel lived in the land of Egypt, in Goshen, and they acquired property in it and were fruitful and became very numerous.H3478H3427H776H4714H776H1657H270H6509H7235H3966 28And Jacob lived in the land of Egypt seventeen years; so the length of Jacob's life was one hundred and forty-seven years.H3290H2421H776H4714H6240H7651H8141H2416H3117H3290H3967H705H8141H7651H8141 29When the time for Israel to die drew near, he called his son Joseph and said to him, "Please, if I have found favor in your sight, place now your hand under my thigh and deal with me in kindness and faithfulness. Please do not bury me in Egypt,H3117H7126H3478H4191H7121H1121H3130H559H4672H2580H5869H7760H3027H3409H6213H2617H571H6912H4714 30but when I lie down with my fathers, you shall carry me out of Egypt and bury me in their burial place. "And he said," I will do as you have said. "H7901H1H5375H4714H6912H6900H559H6213H1697 31And he said, "Swear to me." So he swore to him. Then Israel bowed [ in worship] at the head of the bed.H559H7650H7650H3478H7812H4296H7218
