Genesis 47

Jacob's Family Settles in Goshen

1

Then  aJosephh3130 wenth935 in and toldh5046 Pharaohh6547, and saidh559, "My fatherh1 and my brothersh251 and their flocksh6629 and their herdsh1241 and allh3605 that they have, have comeh935 out of the landh776 of Canaanh3667a; and beholdh2009, they are in the landh776 of  bGoshenh1657."

2

He tookh3947 fiveh2568 menh376 from amongh7097a his brothersh251 and  apresentedh3322h6440 them to Pharaohh6547.

3

Then Pharaohh6547 saidh559 to his brothersh251, " aWhath4100 is your occupationh4639?" So they saidh559 to Pharaohh6547, "Your servantsh5650 are  bshepherdsh7462a, bothh1571 we and our fathersh1."

4

They saidh559 to Pharaohh6547, " aWe have comeh935 to sojournh1481a in the landh776, for thereh369 is noh369 pastureh4829 for your servants'h5650 flocksh6629, for  bthe famineh7458 is severeh3515 in the landh776 of Canaanh3667a. Nowh6258, therefore, pleaseh4994 let your servantsh5650  1 cliveh3427 in the landh776 of Goshenh1657."

5

Then Pharaohh6547 saidh559 to  1Josephh3130, "Your fatherh1 and your brothersh251 have comeh935 to you.

6

"The landh776 of Egypth4714 is  1at your disposalh6440;  2settleh3427 your fatherh1 and your brothersh251 in  athe besth4315 of the landh776, let them  3liveh3427 in the landh776 of Goshenh1657; and ifh518 you knowh3045 anyh3426  bcapableh2428 menh376 among them, then  4puth7760 them in chargeh8269 of my livestockh4735."

7

Then Josephh3130 broughth935 his fatherh1 Jacobh3290 and  1presentedh5975h6440 him to Pharaohh6547; and Jacobh3290  ablessedh1288 Pharaohh6547.

8

Pharaohh6547 saidh559 to Jacobh3290, "Howh4100 manyh4100  1yearsh8141 have you livedh2425b?"

9

So Jacobh3290 saidh559 to Pharaohh6547, "The  1 ayearsh8141 of my sojourningh4033 are one hundredh3967 and  2thirtyh7970; fewh4592 and  3unpleasanth7451a have beenh1961 the  1yearsh8141 of my lifeh2425b, norh3808 have they  4attainedh5381  bthe  1yearsh8141  5that my fathersh1 livedh2425b during the daysh3117 of their sojourningh4033."

10

And Jacobh3290  ablessedh1288 Pharaohh6547, and wenth3318 out from  1his presenceh6440.

11

So Josephh3130  1settledh3427 his fatherh1 and his brothersh251 and gaveh5414 them a possessionh272 in the landh776 of Egypth4714, in  athe besth4315 of the landh776, in the landh776 of  bRamesesh7486, as Pharaohh6547 had orderedh6680.

12

Josephh3130  aprovidedh3557 his fatherh1 and his brothersh251 and allh3605 his father'sh1 householdh1004 with  1foodh3899, accordingh6310 to their littleh2945 onesh2945.

13

Now thereh369 was noh369  1foodh3899 in allh3605 the landh776, becauseh3588 the famineh7458 was veryh3966 severeh3515, so that  athe landh776 of Egypth4714 and the landh776 of Canaanh3667a languishedh3856 becauseh4480h6440 of the famineh7458.

14

 aJosephh3130 gatheredh3950 allh3605 the moneyh3701 that was foundh4672 in the landh776 of Egypth4714 and in the landh776 of Canaanh3667a for the grainh7668 whichh834 they boughth7666, and Josephh3130 broughth935 the moneyh3701 into Pharaoh'sh6547 househ1004.

15

When the moneyh3701 was allh8552 spenth8552 in the landh776 of Egypth4714 and in the landh776 of Canaanh3667a, allh3605 the Egyptiansh4714 cameh935 to Josephh3130  1and saidh559, "Giveh3051 us  2foodh3899, for  awhyh4100 should we dieh4191 in your presenceh5048? For our moneyh3701  3is goneh656."

16

Then Josephh3130 saidh559, "Giveh3051 up your livestockh4735, and I will giveh5414 you food for your livestockh4735, sinceh518 your moneyh3701  1is goneh656."

17

So they broughth935 their livestockh4735 to Josephh3130, and Josephh3130 gaveh5414 them  1foodh3899 in exchange for the horsesh5483b and the  2flocksh6629 and the herdsh1241 and the donkeysh2543; and he  3fedh5095 them with  1foodh3899 in exchange for allh3605 their livestockh4735  4that yearh8141.

18

When that yearh8141 was endedh8552, they cameh935 to him the  1nexth8145 yearh8141 and saidh559 to him, "We will not hideh3582 from my lordh113 that our moneyh3701 is allh8552 spenth8552, and the  2cattleh4735h929 are my lord'sh113. There is nothingh3808 lefth7604  3for my lordh113 excepth1115h518 our bodiesh1472a and our landsh127.

19

"Whyh4100 should we dieh4191 before your eyesh5869, bothh1571 we and our landh127? Buyh7069 us and our landh127 for  1foodh3899, and we and our landh127 will be slavesh5650 to Pharaohh6547. So giveh5414 us seedh2233, that we may liveh2421a and not dieh4191, and that the landh127 may not be desolateh3456."

Result of the Famine

20

So Josephh3130 boughth7069 allh3605 the landh127 of Egypth4714 for Pharaohh6547, for  1everyh376 Egyptianh4714 soldh4376 his fieldh7704, becauseh3588 the famineh7458 was severeh2388 upon them. Thus the landh776 becameh1961 Pharaoh'sh6547.

21

As for the peopleh5971a, he removedh5674a them to the citiesh5892b from one endh7097a of Egypt'sh4714 borderh1366 to the otherh7097a.

22

Onlyh7534 the landh127 of the priestsh3548 he did not buyh7069, for the priestsh3548 had an allotmenth2706 from Pharaohh6547, and they  1livedh398 offh398 the allotmenth2706 whichh834 Pharaohh6547 gaveh5414 them. Thereforeh5921h3651, they did not sellh4376 their landh127.

23

Then Josephh3130 saidh559 to the peopleh5971a, "Beholdh2005, I have todayh3117 boughth7069 you and your landh127 for Pharaohh6547; nowh1887, here is seedh2233 for you, and you may sowh2232 the landh127.

24

1At the harvesth8393 you shall giveh5414 a  afifthh2549 to Pharaohh6547, and  2four-fifthsh702h3027 shall be your own for seedh2233 of the fieldh7704 and for your foodh400 and for those of your householdsh1004 and as foodh398 for your littleh2945 onesh2945."

25

So they saidh559, "You have savedh2421a our livesh2421a! Let us findh4672 favorh2580 in the sighth5869 of my lordh113, and we will be Pharaoh'sh6547 slavesh5650."

26

Josephh3130 madeh7760 it a statuteh2706 concerningh5921 the landh127 of Egypth4714 valid to thish2088 dayh3117, that Pharaohh6547 should have the fifthh2569;  aonlyh7534 the landh127 of the priestsh3548  1did not becomeh1961 Pharaoh'sh6547.

27

Now Israelh3478  1livedh3427 in the landh776 of Egypth4714, in  2Goshenh1657, and they  aacquiredh270 propertyh270 in it and  bwere fruitfulh6509 and becameh7235a veryh3966 numeroush7235a.

28

Jacobh3290 livedh2421a in the landh776 of Egypth4714  aseventeenh7651h6240 yearsh8141; so the  1lengthh3117 of Jacob'sh3290 lifeh2425b was one hundredh3967 and forty-sevenh705h7651 yearsh8141.

29

When  1 athe timeh3117 for Israelh3478 to dieh4191 drewh7126 nearh7126, he calledh7121 his sonh1121 Josephh3130 and saidh559 to him, "Pleaseh4994, ifh518 I have foundh4672 favorh2580 in your sighth5869,  bplaceh7760 nowh4994 your handh3027 underh8478 my thighh3409 and  cdealh6213a with me in kindnessh2617a and  2faithfulnessh571. Pleaseh4994 do not buryh6912 me in Egypth4714,

30

but when I  alieh7901 downh7901 with my fathersh1, you shall carryh5375 me out of Egypth4714 and buryh6912 me in  btheir burialh6900 placeh6900." And he saidh559, "I will doh6213a as you have saidh1697."

31

He saidh559, " aSwearh7650 to me." So he sworeh7650 to him. Then  bIsraelh3478 bowedh7812 in worship at the headh7218 of the bedh4296.
