Genesis 47

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>_.
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>_.
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>_.
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>_.
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:
The land
<0776>
of Egypt
<04714>
[is] before thee
<06440>_;
in the best
<04315>
of the land
<0776>
make
<03427> (0)
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>_.
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>_.
And Pharaoh
<06547>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Jacob
<03290>_,
How
<04100>
old
<02416> <03117> <08141>
[art] thou? {How...: Heb. How many are the days of the years of thy life?}
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>_.
And Jacob
<03290>
blessed
<01288> (8762)
Pharaoh
<06547>_,
and went out
<03318> (8799)
from before
<06440>
Pharaoh
<06547>_.
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)_.
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>_.
{according...: or, as a little child is nourished: Heb. according to the little ones}
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>_.
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>_.
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)_.
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)_.
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>_.
{fed...: Heb. led them}
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>_:
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)_.
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>_.
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.
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>_.
{priests: or, princes}
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>_.
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>_.
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>_.
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>_.
{priests: or, princes}
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>_.
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>_.
{the whole...: Heb. the days of the years of his life}
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>_:
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>_.
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>_.
