47:1 So
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."
47:2 And
from
among
his
brothers
he
took
five
men
and
presented
them
to
Pharaoh.
47:3 Pharaoh
said
to
his
brothers,
"What
is
your
occupation"
And
they
said
to
Pharaoh,
"Your
servants
are
shepherds,
as
our
fathers
were."
47:4 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.
And
now,
please
let
your
servants
dwell
in
the
land
of
Goshen."
47:5 Then
Pharaoh
said
to
Joseph,
"Your
father
and
your
brothers
have
come
to
you.
47:6 The
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."
47:7 Then
Joseph
brought
in
Jacob
his
father
and
stood
him
before
Pharaoh,
and
Jacob
blessed
Pharaoh.
47:8 And
Pharaoh
said
to
Jacob,
"How
many
are
the
days
of
the
years
of
your
life"
47:9 And
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."
47:10 And
Jacob
blessed
Pharaoh
and
went
out
from
the
presence
of
Pharaoh.
47:11 Then
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.
47:12 And
Joseph
provided
his
father,
his
brothers,
and
all
his
father's
household
with
food,
according
to
the
number
of
their
dependents.
47:13 Now
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.
47:14 And
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.
47:15 And
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."
47:16 And
Joseph
answered,
"Give
your
livestock,
and
I
will
give
you
food
in
exchange
for
your
livestock,
if
your
money
is
gone."
47:17 So
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.
47:18 And
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.
47:19 Why
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."
47:20 So
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.
47:21 As
for
the
people,
he
made
servants
of
them
from
one
end
of
Egypt
to
the
other.
47:22 Only
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.
47:23 Then
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.
47:24 And
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."
47:25 And
they
said,
"You
have
saved
our
lives;
may
it
please
my
lord,
we
will
be
servants
to
Pharaoh."
47:26 So
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.
47:27 Thus
Israel
settled
in
the
land
of
Egypt,
in
the
land
of
Goshen.
And
they
gained
possessions
in
it,
and
were
fruitful
and
multiplied
greatly.
47:28 And
Jacob
lived
in
the
land
of
Egypt
seventeen
years.
So
the
days
of
Jacob,
the
years
of
his
life,
were
147
years.
47:29 And
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,
47:30 but
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."
47:31 And
he
said,
"Swear
to
me";
and
he
swore
to
him.
Then
Israel
bowed
himself
upon
the
head
of
his
bed.
