47:1 Then Joseph came and told Pharaoh, and said, My father
and my brethren, and their flocks, and their herds, and all
that they have, are come out of the land of Canaan; and,
behold, they [are] in the land of Goshen.
47:2 And he took some of his brethren, [even] five men, and
presented them unto Pharaoh.
47:3 And Pharaoh said unto his brethren, What [is] your
occupation? And they said unto Pharaoh, Thy servants [are]
shepherds, both we, [and] also our fathers.
47:4 They said moreover unto Pharaoh, For to sojourn in the
land are we come; for thy servants have no pasture for their
flocks; for the 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.
47:7 And Joseph brought in Jacob his father, and set him
before Pharaoh: and Jacob blessed Pharaoh.
47:8 And Pharaoh said unto Jacob, How old [art] thou?
47:9 And Jacob said unto Pharaoh, The days of the years of my
pilgrimage [are] an hundred and thirty years: few and evil have
the days of the years of my life been, and have not attained
unto the days of the years of the life of my fathers in the
days of their pilgrimage.
47:10 And Jacob blessed Pharaoh, and went out from before
Pharaoh.
47:11 And Joseph placed his father and his brethren, 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 nourished his father, and his brethren, and
all his father's household, with bread, according to [their]
families.
47:13 And [there was] no bread in all the land; for the
famine [was] very sore, so that the land of Egypt and [all] the
land of Canaan fainted 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, for the corn
which they bought: and Joseph brought the money into Pharaoh's
house.
47:15 And when money failed in the land of Egypt, and in the
land of Canaan, all the Egyptians came unto Joseph, and said,
Give us bread: for why should we die in thy presence? for the
money faileth.
47:16 And Joseph said, Give your cattle; and I will give you
for your cattle, if money fail.
47:17 And they brought their cattle unto Joseph: and Joseph
gave them bread [in exchange] for horses, and for the flocks,
and for the cattle of the herds, and for the asses: and he fed
them with bread for all their cattle 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.
47:20 And Joseph bought all the land of Egypt for Pharaoh;
for the Egyptians sold every man his field, because the famine
prevailed over them: so the land became Pharaoh's.
47:21 And as for the people, he removed them to cities from
[one] end of the borders of Egypt even to the [other] end
thereof.
47:22 Only the land of the priests bought he not; for the
priests had a portion [assigned them] of Pharaoh, and did eat
their portion which Pharaoh gave them: wherefore they sold not
their lands.
47:23 Then Joseph said unto the people, Behold, I have bought
you this day and your land for Pharaoh: lo, [here is] seed for
you, and ye shall sow the land.
47:24 And it shall come to pass in the increase, that ye
shall give the fifth [part] unto Pharaoh, and four parts shall
be your own, for seed of the field, and for your food, and for
them of your households, and for food for your little ones.
47:25 And they said, Thou hast saved our lives: let us find
grace in the sight of my lord, and we will be Pharaoh's
servants.
47:26 And Joseph made it a law over the land of Egypt unto
this day, [that] Pharaoh should have the fifth [part]; except
the land of the priests only, [which] became not Pharaoh's.
47:27 And Israel dwelt in the land of Egypt, in the country
of Goshen; and they had possessions therein, and grew, and
multiplied exceedingly.
47:28 And Jacob lived in the land of Egypt seventeen years:
so the whole age of Jacob was an hundred forty and seven years.
47:29 And the time drew nigh that Israel must die: 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 But I will lie with my fathers, and thou shalt carry me
out of Egypt, and bury me in their buryingplace. And he said, I
will do as thou hast said.
47:31 And he said, Swear unto me. And he sware unto him. And
Israel bowed himself upon the bed's head.
