1 Then Joseph * h3130 came * h935 h8799 and told * h5046 h8686 Pharaoh * h6547, and said * h559 h8799, My father * h1 and my brethren * h251, and their flocks * h6629, and their herds * h1241, and all that they have, are come out * h935 h8804 of the land * h776 of Canaan * h3667; and, behold, they are in the land * h776 of Goshen * h1657.
2 And he took * h3947 h8804 some * h7097 of his brethren * h251, even five * h2568 men * h582, and presented * h3322 h8686 them unto * h6440 Pharaoh * h6547.
3 And Pharaoh * h6547 said * h559 h8799 unto his brethren * h251, What is your occupation * h4639? And they said * h559 h8799 unto Pharaoh * h6547, Thy servants * h5650 are shepherds * h7462 h8802 * h6629, both we, and also our fathers * h1.
4 They said * h559 h8799 moreover unto Pharaoh * h6547, For to sojourn * h1481 h8800 in the land * h776 are we come * h935 h8804; for thy servants * h5650 have no pasture * h4829 for their flocks * h6629; for the famine * h7458 is sore * h3515 in the land * h776 of Canaan * h3667: now therefore, we pray thee, let thy servants * h5650 dwell * h3427 h8799 in the land * h776 of Goshen * h1657.
5 And Pharaoh * h6547 spake * h559 h8799 unto Joseph * h3130, saying * h559 h8800, Thy father * h1 and thy brethren * h251 are come * h935 h8804 unto thee:
6 The land * h776 of Egypt * h4714 is before thee * h6440; in the best * h4315 of the land * h776 make * h3427 thy father * h1 and brethren * h251 to dwell * h3427 h8685; in the land * h776 of Goshen * h1657 let them dwell * h3427 h8799: and if thou knowest * h3045 h8804 * h3426 any men * h582 of activity * h2428 among them, then make them * h7760 h8804 rulers * h8269 over my cattle * h4735.
7 And Joseph * h3130 brought in * h935 h8686 Jacob * h3290 his father * h1, and set him * h5975 h8686 before * h6440 Pharaoh * h6547: and Jacob * h3290 blessed * h1288 h8762 Pharaoh * h6547.
8 And Pharaoh * h6547 said * h559 h8799 unto Jacob * h3290, How * h4100 old * h2416 * h3117 * h8141 art thou? How...: Heb. How many are the days of the years of thy life?
9 And Jacob * h3290 said * h559 h8799 unto Pharaoh * h6547, The days * h3117 of the years * h8141 of my pilgrimage * h4033 are an hundred * h3967 and thirty * h7970 years * h8141: few * h4592 and evil * h7451 have the days * h3117 of the years * h8141 of my life * h2416 been, and have not attained * h5381 h8689 unto the days * h3117 of the years * h8141 of the life * h2416 of my fathers * h1 in the days * h3117 of their pilgrimage * h4033.
10 And Jacob * h3290 blessed * h1288 h8762 Pharaoh * h6547, and went out * h3318 h8799 from before * h6440 Pharaoh * h6547.
11 And Joseph * h3130 placed * h3427 h8686 his father * h1 and his brethren * h251, and gave * h5414 h8799 them a possession * h272 in the land * h776 of Egypt * h4714, in the best * h4315 of the land * h776, in the land * h776 of Rameses * h7486, as Pharaoh * h6547 had commanded * h6680 h8765.
12 And Joseph * h3130 nourished * h3557 h8770 his father * h1, and his brethren * h251, and all his father's * h1 household * h1004, with bread * h3899, according * h6310 to their families * h2945. according...: or, as a little child is nourished: Heb. according to the little ones
13 And there was no bread * h3899 in all the land * h776; for the famine * h7458 was very * h3966 sore * h3515, so that the land * h776 of Egypt * h4714 and all the land * h776 of Canaan * h3667 fainted * h3856 h8799 by reason * h6440 of the famine * h7458.
14 And Joseph * h3130 gathered up * h3950 h8762 all the money * h3701 that was found * h4672 h8737 in the land * h776 of Egypt * h4714, and in the land * h776 of Canaan * h3667, for the corn * h7668 which they bought * h7666 h8802: and Joseph * h3130 brought * h935 h8686 the money * h3701 into Pharaoh's * h6547 house * h1004.
15 And when money * h3701 failed * h8552 h8799 in the land * h776 of Egypt * h4714, and in the land * h776 of Canaan * h3667, all the Egyptians * h4714 came * h935 h8799 unto Joseph * h3130, and said * h559 h8800, Give * h3051 h8798 us bread * h3899: for why should we die * h4191 h8799 in thy presence? for the money * h3701 faileth * h656 h8804.
16 And Joseph * h3130 said * h559 h8799, Give * h3051 h8798 your cattle * h4735; and I will give * h5414 h8799 you for your cattle * h4735, if money * h3701 fail * h656 h8804.
17 And they brought * h935 h8686 their cattle * h4735 unto Joseph * h3130: and Joseph * h3130 gave * h5414 h8799 them bread * h3899 in exchange for horses * h5483, and for the flocks * h6629, and for the cattle * h4735 of the herds * h1241, and for the asses * h2543: and he fed * h5095 h8762 them with bread * h3899 for all their cattle * h4735 for that year * h8141. fed...: Heb. led them
18 When that year * h8141 was ended * h8552 h8799, they came * h935 h8799 unto him the second * h8145 year * h8141, and said * h559 h8799 unto him, We will not hide * h3582 h8762 it from my lord * h113, how that our money * h3701 is spent * h8552 h8804; my lord * h113 also hath * h413 our herds * h4735 of cattle * h929; there is not ought left * h7604 h8738 in the sight * h6440 of my lord * h113, but our bodies * h1472, and our lands * h127:
19 Wherefore shall we die * h4191 h8799 before thine eyes * h5869, both we and our land * h127? buy * h7069 h8798 us and our land * h127 for bread * h3899, and we and our land * h127 will be servants * h5650 unto Pharaoh * h6547: and give * h5414 h8798 us seed * h2233, that we may live * h2421 h8799, and not die * h4191 h8799, that the land * h127 be not desolate * h3456 h8799.
20 And Joseph * h3130 bought * h7069 h8799 all the land * h127 of Egypt * h4714 for Pharaoh * h6547; for the Egyptians * h4714 sold * h4376 h8804 every man * h376 his field * h7704, because the famine * h7458 prevailed * h2388 h8804 over them: so the land * h776 became Pharaoh's * h6547.
21 And as for the people * h5971, he removed * h5674 h8689 them to cities * h5892 from one end * h7097 of the borders * h1366 of Egypt * h4714 even to the other end * h7097 thereof.
22 Only the land * h127 of the priests * h3548 bought he * h7069 h8804 not; for the priests * h3548 had a portion * h2706 assigned them of Pharaoh * h6547, and did eat * h398 h8804 their portion * h2706 which Pharaoh * h6547 gave * h5414 h8804 them: wherefore they sold * h4376 h8804 not their lands * h127. priests: or, princes
23 Then Joseph * h3130 said * h559 h8799 unto the people * h5971, Behold, I have bought * h7069 h8804 * h853 you this day * h3117 and your land * h127 for Pharaoh * h6547: lo * h1887, here is seed * h2233 for you, and ye shall sow * h2232 h8804 the land * h127.
24 And it shall come to pass in the increase * h8393, that ye shall give * h5414 h8804 the fifth * h2549 part unto Pharaoh * h6547, and four * h702 parts * h3027 shall be your own, for seed * h2233 of the field * h7704, and for your food * h400, and for them of your households * h1004, and for food * h398 h8800 for your little ones * h2945.
25 And they said * h559 h8799, Thou hast saved our lives * h2421 h8689: let us find * h4672 h8799 grace * h2580 in the sight * h5869 of my lord * h113, and we will be Pharaoh's * h6547 servants * h5650.
26 And Joseph * h3130 made * h7760 h8799 it a law * h2706 over the land * h127 of Egypt * h4714 unto this day * h3117, that Pharaoh * h6547 should have the fifth * h2569 part ; except * h7535 the land * h127 of the priests * h3548 only, which became not Pharaoh's * h6547. priests: or, princes
27 And Israel * h3478 dwelt * h3427 h8799 in the land * h776 of Egypt * h4714, in the country * h776 of Goshen * h1657; and they had possessions * h270 h8735 therein, and grew * h6509 h8799, and multiplied * h7235 h8799 exceedingly * h3966.
28 And Jacob * h3290 lived * h2421 h8799 in the land * h776 of Egypt * h4714 seventeen * h6240 * h7651 years * h8141: so the whole age * h2416 * h3117 of Jacob * h3290 was an hundred * h3967 forty * h705 * h8141 and seven * h7651 years * h8141. the whole...: Heb. the days of the years of his life
29 And the time * h3117 drew nigh * h7126 h8799 that Israel * h3478 must die * h4191 h8800: and he called * h7121 h8799 his son * h1121 Joseph * h3130, and said * h559 h8799 unto him, If now I have found * h4672 h8804 grace * h2580 in thy sight * h5869, put * h7760 h8798, I pray thee, thy hand * h3027 under my thigh * h3409, and deal * h6213 h8804 kindly * h2617 and truly * h571 with me; bury * h6912 h8799 me not, I pray thee, in Egypt * h4714:
30 But I will lie * h7901 h8804 with my fathers * h1, and thou shalt carry * h5375 h8804 me out of Egypt * h4714, and bury * h6912 h8804 me in their buryingplace * h6900. And he said * h559 h8799, I will do * h6213 h8799 as thou hast said * h1697.
31 And he said * h559 h8799, Swear * h7650 h8734 unto me. And he sware * h7650 h8735 unto him. And Israel * h3478 bowed * h7812 h8691 himself upon the bed's * h4296 head * h7218.
