1 Then Joseph <03130> came <0935> (8799) and told <05046> (8686) Pharaoh <06547>, and said <0559> (8799), My father <01> and my brethren <0251>, and their flocks <06629>, and their herds <01241>, and all that they have, are come out <0935> (8804) of the land <0776> of Canaan <03667>; and, behold, they are in the land <0776> of Goshen <01657> .
2 And he took <03947> (8804) some <07097> of his brethren <0251>, even five <02568> men <0582> , and presented <03322> (8686) them unto <06440> Pharaoh <06547>.
3 And Pharaoh <06547> said <0559> (8799) unto his brethren <0251>, What is your occupation <04639>? And they said <0559> (8799) unto Pharaoh <06547>, Thy servants <05650> are shepherds <07462> (8802) <06629>, both we, and also our fathers <01>.
4 They said <0559> (8799) moreover unto Pharaoh <06547>, For to sojourn <01481> (8800) in the land <0776> are we come <0935> (8804); for thy servants <05650> have no pasture <04829> for their flocks <06629>; for the famine <07458> is sore <03515> in the land <0776> of Canaan <03667>: now therefore, we pray thee, let thy servants <05650> dwell <03427> (8799) in the land <0776> of Goshen <01657>.
5 And Pharaoh <06547> spake <0559> (8799) unto Joseph <03130>, saying <0559> (8800), Thy father <01> and thy brethren <0251> are come <0935> (8804) unto thee:
6 The land <0776> of Egypt <04714> is before thee <06440>; in the best <04315> of the land <0776> make <03427> <00> thy father <01> and brethren <0251> to dwell <03427> (8685); in the land <0776> of Goshen <01657> let them dwell <03427> (8799): and if thou knowest <03045> (8804) <03426> any men <0582> of activity <02428> among them, then make them <07760> (8804) rulers <08269> over my cattle <04735>.
7 And Joseph <03130> brought in <0935> (8686) Jacob <03290> his father <01>, and set him <05975> (8686) before <06440> Pharaoh <06547>: and Jacob <03290> blessed <01288> (8762) Pharaoh <06547>.
8 And Pharaoh <06547> said <0559> (8799) unto Jacob <03290>, How <04100> old <02416> <03117> <08141> art thou?
9 And Jacob <03290> said <0559> (8799) unto Pharaoh <06547>, The days <03117> of the years <08141> of my pilgrimage <04033> are an hundred <03967> and thirty <07970> years <08141>: few <04592> and evil <07451> have the days <03117> of the years <08141> of my life <02416> been, and have not attained <05381> (8689) unto the days <03117> of the years <08141> of the life <02416> of my fathers <01> in the days <03117> of their pilgrimage <04033>.
10 And Jacob <03290> blessed <01288> (8762) Pharaoh <06547>, and went out <03318> (8799) from before <06440> Pharaoh <06547>.
11 And Joseph <03130> placed <03427> (8686) his father <01> and his brethren <0251>, and gave <05414> (8799) them a possession <0272> in the land <0776> of Egypt <04714>, in the best <04315> of the land <0776>, in the land <0776> of Rameses <07486>, as Pharaoh <06547> had commanded <06680> (8765).
12 And Joseph <03130> nourished <03557> (8770) his father <01>, and his brethren <0251>, and all his father#s <01> household <01004>, with bread <03899>, according <06310> to their families <02945>.
13 And there was no bread <03899> in all the land <0776>; for the famine <07458> was very <03966> sore <03515>, so that the land <0776> of Egypt <04714> and all the land <0776> of Canaan <03667> fainted <03856> (8799) by reason <06440> of the famine <07458>.
14 And Joseph <03130> gathered up <03950> (8762) all the money <03701> that was found <04672> (8737) in the land <0776> of Egypt <04714>, and in the land <0776> of Canaan <03667>, for the corn <07668> which they bought <07666> (8802): and Joseph <03130> brought <0935> (8686) the money <03701> into Pharaoh#s <06547> house <01004>.
15 And when money <03701> failed <08552> (8799) in the land <0776> of Egypt <04714>, and in the land <0776> of Canaan <03667>, all the Egyptians <04714> came <0935> (8799) unto Joseph <03130>, and said <0559> (8800) , Give <03051> (8798) us bread <03899>: for why should we die <04191> (8799) in thy presence? for the money <03701> faileth <0656> (8804).
16 And Joseph <03130> said <0559> (8799), Give <03051> (8798) your cattle <04735>; and I will give <05414> (8799) you for your cattle <04735>, if money <03701> fail <0656> (8804).
17 And they brought <0935> (8686) their cattle <04735> unto Joseph <03130>: and Joseph <03130> gave <05414> (8799) them bread <03899> in exchange for horses <05483>, and for the flocks <06629>, and for the cattle <04735> of the herds <01241>, and for the asses <02543>: and he fed <05095> (8762) them with bread <03899> for all their cattle <04735> for that year <08141>.
18 When that year <08141> was ended <08552> (8799), they came <0935> (8799) unto him the second <08145> year <08141>, and said <0559> (8799) unto him, We will not hide <03582> (8762) it from my lord <0113>, how that our money <03701> is spent <08552> (8804); my lord <0113> also hath <0413> our herds <04735> of cattle <0929>; there is not ought left <07604> (8738) in the sight <06440> of my lord <0113>, but our bodies <01472>, and our lands <0127>:
19 Wherefore shall we die <04191> (8799) before thine eyes <05869>, both we and our land <0127>? buy <07069> (8798) us and our land <0127> for bread <03899>, and we and our land <0127> will be servants <05650> unto Pharaoh <06547>: and give <05414> (8798) us seed <02233>, that we may live <02421> (8799), and not die <04191> (8799), that the land <0127> be not desolate <03456> (8799).
20 And Joseph <03130> bought <07069> (8799) all the land <0127> of Egypt <04714> for Pharaoh <06547> ; for the Egyptians <04714> sold <04376> (8804) every man <0376> his field <07704>, because the famine <07458> prevailed <02388> (8804) over them: so the land <0776> became Pharaoh#s <06547>.
21 And as for the people <05971>, he removed <05674> (8689) them to cities <05892> from one end <07097> of the borders <01366> of Egypt <04714> even to the other end <07097> thereof.
22 Only the land <0127> of the priests <03548> bought he <07069> (8804) not; for the priests <03548> had a portion <02706> assigned them of Pharaoh <06547>, and did eat <0398> (8804) their portion <02706> which Pharaoh <06547> gave <05414> (8804) them: wherefore they sold <04376> (8804) not their lands <0127>.
23 Then Joseph <03130> said <0559> (8799) unto the people <05971>, Behold, I have bought <07069> (8804) <0853> you this day <03117> and your land <0127> for Pharaoh <06547>: lo <01887>, here is seed <02233> for you, and ye shall sow <02232> (8804) the land <0127>.
24 And it shall come to pass in the increase <08393>, that ye shall give <05414> (8804) the fifth <02549> part unto Pharaoh <06547>, and four <0702> parts <03027> shall be your own, for seed <02233> of the field <07704>, and for your food <0400> , and for them of your households <01004>, and for food <0398> (8800) for your little ones <02945>.
25 And they said <0559> (8799), Thou hast saved our lives <02421> (8689): let us find <04672> (8799) grace <02580> in the sight <05869> of my lord <0113>, and we will be Pharaoh#s <06547> servants <05650>.
26 And Joseph <03130> made <07760> (8799) it a law <02706> over the land <0127> of Egypt <04714> unto this day <03117>, that Pharaoh <06547> should have the fifth <02569> part; except <07535> the land <0127> of the priests <03548> only, which became not Pharaoh#s <06547>.
27 And Israel <03478> dwelt <03427> (8799) in the land <0776> of Egypt <04714>, in the country <0776> of Goshen <01657>; and they had possessions <0270> (8735) therein, and grew <06509> (8799), and multiplied <07235> (8799) exceedingly <03966>.
28 And Jacob <03290> lived <02421> (8799) in the land <0776> of Egypt <04714> seventeen <06240> <07651> years <08141>: so the whole age <02416> <03117> of Jacob <03290> was an hundred <03967> forty <0705> <08141> and seven <07651> years <08141>.
29 And the time <03117> drew nigh <07126> (8799) that Israel <03478> must die <04191> (8800): and he called <07121> (8799) his son <01121> Joseph <03130>, and said <0559> (8799) unto him, If now I have found <04672> (8804) grace <02580> in thy sight <05869>, put <07760> (8798), I pray thee, thy hand <03027> under my thigh <03409> , and deal <06213> (8804) kindly <02617> and truly <0571> with me; bury <06912> (8799) me not, I pray thee, in Egypt <04714>:
30 But I will lie <07901> (8804) with my fathers <01>, and thou shalt carry <05375> (8804) me out of Egypt <04714>, and bury <06912> (8804) me in their buryingplace <06900>. And he said <0559> (8799), I will do <06213> (8799) as thou hast said <01697>.
31 And he said <0559> (8799), Swear <07650> (8734) unto me. And he sware <07650> (8735) unto him. And Israel <03478> bowed <07812> (8691) himself upon the bed#s <04296> head <07218>.
