Then
Joseph
came and told
Pharaoh
, and said, My
father
and my
brethren
, and their
flock
s, and their
herd
s, and
all that they have
, are come out of
the land
of
Canaan
; and,
behold

land of Goshen
.

five men

s, both we, and also our fathers.

sojourn
in the land are we come; for thy servants have no

famine
is [sore in
the land of Canaan
: now therefore, we
pray thee
, let thy servants dwell in the land of
Goshen
.
47:5
And Pharaoh spake unto Joseph, saying,
Thy father and thy brethren are come unto thee
: 47:
6 The 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
.

How old art thou?
47:9

pilgrimage
are
an hundred
and
thirty

the days of the years of the life of my fathers
in the days of their pilgrimage.
47:10

Jacob blessed Pharaoh
, and went out from before Pharaoh.
47:11

nourish
ed his father, and his brethren, and all
his father's household
, with
bread

47:14

when money failed
in
the land of Egypt
, and in

for that
year
.
47:18
When 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
:
47:19
Wherefore 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
.

Behold

I have bought you this day and your land
for Pharaoh:
lo

here is seed for you
, and
ye shall sow the land
.

in the increase
, that ye shall give
the fifth part

seed of the field

them of your households
, and for food for your
little ones
.

Thou hast saved our lives
:
let us find grace in the sight of my lord
, and
we will be Pharaoh's servants
.

the land of the priests
only, which became
not Pharaoh's
.

dwelt in the land of Egypt, in
the country
of
Goshen
; and they had possessions therein, and grew, and
multiplied exceedingly
.

Egypt
seventeen years
: so
the whole age of Jacob
was
an hundred forty and seven years
.

: 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:
47:30

, and thou shalt carry me out of Egypt, and
bury
me in their
buryingplace
. And he said,
I will do as thou hast said.

Swear unto me.
And he sware unto him. And Israel

upon
the bed's head
.
