Then Joseph{H3130} came{H935}{(H8799)} and told{H5046}{(H8686)} Pharaoh{H6547}, and said{H559}{(H8799)}, My father{H1} and my brethren{H251}, and their flocks{H6629}, and their herds{H1241}, and all that they have, are come out{H935}{(H8804)} of the land{H776} of Canaan{H3667}; and, behold, they are in the land{H776} of Goshen{H1657}.

And he took{H3947}{(H8804)} some{H7097} of his brethren{H251}, even five{H2568} men{H582}, and presented{H3322}{(H8686)} them unto{H6440} Pharaoh{H6547}.

And Pharaoh{H6547} said{H559}{(H8799)} unto his brethren{H251}, What is your occupation{H4639}? And they said{H559}{(H8799)} unto Pharaoh{H6547}, Thy servants{H5650} are shepherds{H7462}{(H8802)}{H6629}, both we, and also our fathers{H1}.

They said{H559}{(H8799)} moreover unto Pharaoh{H6547}, For to sojourn{H1481}{(H8800)} in the land{H776} are we come{H935}{(H8804)}; for thy servants{H5650} have no pasture{H4829} for their flocks{H6629}; for the famine{H7458} is sore{H3515} in the land{H776} of Canaan{H3667}: now therefore, we pray thee, let thy servants{H5650} dwell{H3427}{(H8799)} in the land{H776} of Goshen{H1657}.

And Pharaoh{H6547} spake{H559}{(H8799)} unto Joseph{H3130}, saying{H559}{(H8800)}, Thy father{H1} and thy brethren{H251} are come{H935}{(H8804)} unto thee:

The land{H776} of Egypt{H4714} is before thee{H6440}; in the best{H4315} of the land{H776} make{H3427} thy father{H1} and brethren{H251} to dwell{H3427}{(H8685)}; in the land{H776} of Goshen{H1657} let them dwell{H3427}{(H8799)}: and if thou knowest{H3045}{(H8804)}{H3426} any men{H582} of activity{H2428} among them, then make them{H7760}{(H8804)} rulers{H8269} over my cattle{H4735}.

And Joseph{H3130} brought in{H935}{(H8686)} Jacob{H3290} his father{H1}, and set him{H5975}{(H8686)} before{H6440} Pharaoh{H6547}: and Jacob{H3290} blessed{H1288}{(H8762)} Pharaoh{H6547}.

And Pharaoh{H6547} said{H559}{(H8799)} unto Jacob{H3290}, How{H4100} old{H2416}{H3117}{H8141} art thou?

And Jacob{H3290} said{H559}{(H8799)} unto Pharaoh{H6547}, The days{H3117} of the years{H8141} of my pilgrimage{H4033} are an hundred{H3967} and thirty{H7970} years{H8141}: few{H4592} and evil{H7451} have the days{H3117} of the years{H8141} of my life{H2416} been, and have not attained{H5381}{(H8689)} unto the days{H3117} of the years{H8141} of the life{H2416} of my fathers{H1} in the days{H3117} of their pilgrimage{H4033}.

And Jacob{H3290} blessed{H1288}{(H8762)} Pharaoh{H6547}, and went out{H3318}{(H8799)} from before{H6440} Pharaoh{H6547}.

And Joseph{H3130} placed{H3427}{(H8686)} his father{H1} and his brethren{H251}, and gave{H5414}{(H8799)} them a possession{H272} in the land{H776} of Egypt{H4714}, in the best{H4315} of the land{H776}, in the land{H776} of Rameses{H7486}, as Pharaoh{H6547} had commanded{H6680}{(H8765)}.

And Joseph{H3130} nourished{H3557}{(H8770)} his father{H1}, and his brethren{H251}, and all his father's{H1} household{H1004}, with bread{H3899}, according{H6310} to their families{H2945}.

And there was no bread{H3899} in all the land{H776}; for the famine{H7458} was very{H3966} sore{H3515}, so that the land{H776} of Egypt{H4714} and all the land{H776} of Canaan{H3667} fainted{H3856}{(H8799)} by reason{H6440} of the famine{H7458}.

And Joseph{H3130} gathered up{H3950}{(H8762)} all the money{H3701} that was found{H4672}{(H8737)} in the land{H776} of Egypt{H4714}, and in the land{H776} of Canaan{H3667}, for the corn{H7668} which they bought{H7666}{(H8802)}: and Joseph{H3130} brought{H935}{(H8686)} the money{H3701} into Pharaoh's{H6547} house{H1004}.

And when money{H3701} failed{H8552}{(H8799)} in the land{H776} of Egypt{H4714}, and in the land{H776} of Canaan{H3667}, all the Egyptians{H4714} came{H935}{(H8799)} unto Joseph{H3130}, and said{H559}{(H8800)}, Give{H3051}{(H8798)} us bread{H3899}: for why should we die{H4191}{(H8799)} in thy presence? for the money{H3701} faileth{H656}{(H8804)}.

And Joseph{H3130} said{H559}{(H8799)}, Give{H3051}{(H8798)} your cattle{H4735}; and I will give{H5414}{(H8799)} you for your cattle{H4735}, if money{H3701} fail{H656}{(H8804)}.

And they brought{H935}{(H8686)} their cattle{H4735} unto Joseph{H3130}: and Joseph{H3130} gave{H5414}{(H8799)} them bread{H3899} in exchange for horses{H5483}, and for the flocks{H6629}, and for the cattle{H4735} of the herds{H1241}, and for the asses{H2543}: and he fed{H5095}{(H8762)} them with bread{H3899} for all their cattle{H4735} for that year{H8141}.

When that year{H8141} was ended{H8552}{(H8799)}, they came{H935}{(H8799)} unto him the second{H8145} year{H8141}, and said{H559}{(H8799)} unto him, We will not hide{H3582}{(H8762)} it from my lord{H113}, how that our money{H3701} is spent{H8552}{(H8804)}; my lord{H113} also hath{H413} our herds{H4735} of cattle{H929}; there is not ought left{H7604}{(H8738)} in the sight{H6440} of my lord{H113}, but our bodies{H1472}, and our lands{H127}:

Wherefore shall we die{H4191}{(H8799)} before thine eyes{H5869}, both we and our land{H127}? buy{H7069}{(H8798)} us and our land{H127} for bread{H3899}, and we and our land{H127} will be servants{H5650} unto Pharaoh{H6547}: and give{H5414}{(H8798)} us seed{H2233}, that we may live{H2421}{(H8799)}, and not die{H4191}{(H8799)}, that the land{H127} be not desolate{H3456}{(H8799)}.

And Joseph{H3130} bought{H7069}{(H8799)} all the land{H127} of Egypt{H4714} for Pharaoh{H6547}; for the Egyptians{H4714} sold{H4376}{(H8804)} every man{H376} his field{H7704}, because the famine{H7458} prevailed{H2388}{(H8804)} over them: so the land{H776} became Pharaoh's{H6547}.

And as for the people{H5971}, he removed{H5674}{(H8689)} them to cities{H5892} from one end{H7097} of the borders{H1366} of Egypt{H4714} even to the other end{H7097} thereof.

Only the land{H127} of the priests{H3548} bought he{H7069}{(H8804)} not; for the priests{H3548} had a portion{H2706} assigned them of Pharaoh{H6547}, and did eat{H398}{(H8804)} their portion{H2706} which Pharaoh{H6547} gave{H5414}{(H8804)} them: wherefore they sold{H4376}{(H8804)} not their lands{H127}.

Then Joseph{H3130} said{H559}{(H8799)} unto the people{H5971}, Behold, I have bought{H7069}{(H8804)}{H853} you this day{H3117} and your land{H127} for Pharaoh{H6547}: lo{H1887}, here is seed{H2233} for you, and ye shall sow{H2232}{(H8804)} the land{H127}.

And it shall come to pass in the increase{H8393}, that ye shall give{H5414}{(H8804)} the fifth{H2549} part unto Pharaoh{H6547}, and four{H702} parts{H3027} shall be your own, for seed{H2233} of the field{H7704}, and for your food{H400}, and for them of your households{H1004}, and for food{H398}{(H8800)} for your little ones{H2945}.

And they said{H559}{(H8799)}, Thou hast saved our lives{H2421}{(H8689)}: let us find{H4672}{(H8799)} grace{H2580} in the sight{H5869} of my lord{H113}, and we will be Pharaoh's{H6547} servants{H5650}.

And Joseph{H3130} made{H7760}{(H8799)} it a law{H2706} over the land{H127} of Egypt{H4714} unto this day{H3117}, that Pharaoh{H6547} should have the fifth{H2569} part; except{H7535} the land{H127} of the priests{H3548} only, which became not Pharaoh's{H6547}.

And Israel{H3478} dwelt{H3427}{(H8799)} in the land{H776} of Egypt{H4714}, in the country{H776} of Goshen{H1657}; and they had possessions{H270}{(H8735)} therein, and grew{H6509}{(H8799)}, and multiplied{H7235}{(H8799)} exceedingly{H3966}.

And Jacob{H3290} lived{H2421}{(H8799)} in the land{H776} of Egypt{H4714} seventeen{H6240}{H7651} years{H8141}: so the whole age{H2416}{H3117} of Jacob{H3290} was an hundred{H3967} forty{H705}{H8141} and seven{H7651} years{H8141}.

And the time{H3117} drew nigh{H7126}{(H8799)} that Israel{H3478} must die{H4191}{(H8800)}: and he called{H7121}{(H8799)} his son{H1121} Joseph{H3130}, and said{H559}{(H8799)} unto him, If now I have found{H4672}{(H8804)} grace{H2580} in thy sight{H5869}, put{H7760}{(H8798)}, I pray thee, thy hand{H3027} under my thigh{H3409}, and deal{H6213}{(H8804)} kindly{H2617} and truly{H571} with me; bury{H6912}{(H8799)} me not, I pray thee, in Egypt{H4714}:

But I will lie{H7901}{(H8804)} with my fathers{H1}, and thou shalt carry{H5375}{(H8804)} me out of Egypt{H4714}, and bury{H6912}{(H8804)} me in their buryingplace{H6900}. And he said{H559}{(H8799)}, I will do{H6213}{(H8799)} as thou hast said{H1697}.

And he said{H559}{(H8799)}, Swear{H7650}{(H8734)} unto me. And he sware{H7650}{(H8735)} unto him. And Israel{H3478} bowed{H7812}{(H8691)} himself upon the bed's{H4296} head{H7218}.
