Genesis 47

1

Then Josephh3130 cameh935h8799 and toldh5046h8686 Pharaohh6547, and saidh559h8799, My fatherh1 and my brethrenh251, and their flocksh6629, and their herdsh1241, and all that they have, are come outh935h8804 of the landh776 of Canaanh3667; and, behold, they are in the landh776 of Goshenh1657.

2

And he tookh3947h8804 someh7097 of his brethrenh251, even fiveh2568 menh582, and presentedh3322h8686 them untoh6440 Pharaohh6547.

3

And Pharaohh6547 saidh559h8799 unto his brethrenh251, What is your occupationh4639? And they saidh559h8799 unto Pharaohh6547, Thy servantsh5650 are shepherdsh7462h8802h6629, both we, and also our fathersh1.

4

They saidh559h8799 moreover unto Pharaohh6547, For to sojournh1481h8800 in the landh776 are we comeh935h8804; for thy servantsh5650 have no pastureh4829 for their flocksh6629; for the famineh7458 is soreh3515 in the landh776 of Canaanh3667: now therefore, we pray thee, let thy servantsh5650 dwellh3427h8799 in the landh776 of Goshenh1657.

5

And Pharaohh6547 spakeh559h8799 unto Josephh3130, sayingh559h8800, Thy fatherh1 and thy brethrenh251 are comeh935h8804 unto thee:

6

The landh776 of Egypth4714 is before theeh6440; in the besth4315 of the landh776 makeh3427 thy fatherh1 and brethrenh251 to dwellh3427h8685; in the landh776 of Goshenh1657 let them dwellh3427h8799: and if thou knowesth3045h8804h3426 any menh582 of activityh2428 among them, then make themh7760h8804 rulersh8269 over my cattleh4735.

7

And Josephh3130 brought inh935h8686 Jacobh3290 his fatherh1, and set himh5975h8686 beforeh6440 Pharaohh6547: and Jacobh3290 blessedh1288h8762 Pharaohh6547.

8

And Pharaohh6547 saidh559h8799 unto Jacobh3290, Howh4100 oldh2416h3117h8141 art thou? How...: Heb. How many are the days of the years of thy life?

9

And Jacobh3290 saidh559h8799 unto Pharaohh6547, The daysh3117 of the yearsh8141 of my pilgrimageh4033 are an hundredh3967 and thirtyh7970 yearsh8141: fewh4592 and evilh7451 have the daysh3117 of the yearsh8141 of my lifeh2416 been, and have not attainedh5381h8689 unto the daysh3117 of the yearsh8141 of the lifeh2416 of my fathersh1 in the daysh3117 of their pilgrimageh4033.

10

And Jacobh3290 blessedh1288h8762 Pharaohh6547, and went outh3318h8799 from beforeh6440 Pharaohh6547.

11

And Josephh3130 placedh3427h8686 his fatherh1 and his brethrenh251, and gaveh5414h8799 them a possessionh272 in the landh776 of Egypth4714, in the besth4315 of the landh776, in the landh776 of Ramesesh7486, as Pharaohh6547 had commandedh6680h8765.

12

And Josephh3130 nourishedh3557h8770 his fatherh1, and his brethrenh251, and all his father'sh1 householdh1004, with breadh3899, accordingh6310 to their familiesh2945. according...: or, as a little child is nourished: Heb. according to the little ones

13

And there was no breadh3899 in all the landh776; for the famineh7458 was veryh3966 soreh3515, so that the landh776 of Egypth4714 and all the landh776 of Canaanh3667 faintedh3856h8799 by reasonh6440 of the famineh7458.

14

And Josephh3130 gathered uph3950h8762 all the moneyh3701 that was foundh4672h8737 in the landh776 of Egypth4714, and in the landh776 of Canaanh3667, for the cornh7668 which they boughth7666h8802: and Josephh3130 broughth935h8686 the moneyh3701 into Pharaoh'sh6547 househ1004.

15

And when moneyh3701 failedh8552h8799 in the landh776 of Egypth4714, and in the landh776 of Canaanh3667, all the Egyptiansh4714 cameh935h8799 unto Josephh3130, and saidh559h8800, Giveh3051h8798 us breadh3899: for why should we dieh4191h8799 in thy presence? for the moneyh3701 failethh656h8804.

16

And Josephh3130 saidh559h8799, Giveh3051h8798 your cattleh4735; and I will giveh5414h8799 you for your cattleh4735, if moneyh3701 failh656h8804.

17

And they broughth935h8686 their cattleh4735 unto Josephh3130: and Josephh3130 gaveh5414h8799 them breadh3899 in exchange for horsesh5483, and for the flocksh6629, and for the cattleh4735 of the herdsh1241, and for the assesh2543: and he fedh5095h8762 them with breadh3899 for all their cattleh4735 for that yearh8141. fed...: Heb. led them

18

When that yearh8141 was endedh8552h8799, they cameh935h8799 unto him the secondh8145 yearh8141, and saidh559h8799 unto him, We will not hideh3582h8762 it from my lordh113, how that our moneyh3701 is spenth8552h8804; my lordh113 also hathh413 our herdsh4735 of cattleh929; there is not ought lefth7604h8738 in the sighth6440 of my lordh113, but our bodiesh1472, and our landsh127:

19

Wherefore shall we dieh4191h8799 before thine eyesh5869, both we and our landh127? buyh7069h8798 us and our landh127 for breadh3899, and we and our landh127 will be servantsh5650 unto Pharaohh6547: and giveh5414h8798 us seedh2233, that we may liveh2421h8799, and not dieh4191h8799, that the landh127 be not desolateh3456h8799.

20

And Josephh3130 boughth7069h8799 all the landh127 of Egypth4714 for Pharaohh6547; for the Egyptiansh4714 soldh4376h8804 every manh376 his fieldh7704, because the famineh7458 prevailedh2388h8804 over them: so the landh776 became Pharaoh'sh6547.

21

And as for the peopleh5971, he removedh5674h8689 them to citiesh5892 from one endh7097 of the bordersh1366 of Egypth4714 even to the other endh7097 thereof.

22

Only the landh127 of the priestsh3548 bought heh7069h8804 not; for the priestsh3548 had a portionh2706 assigned them of Pharaohh6547, and did eath398h8804 their portionh2706 which Pharaohh6547 gaveh5414h8804 them: wherefore they soldh4376h8804 not their landsh127. priests: or, princes

23

Then Josephh3130 saidh559h8799 unto the peopleh5971, Behold, I have boughth7069h8804h853 you this dayh3117 and your landh127 for Pharaohh6547: loh1887, here is seedh2233 for you, and ye shall sowh2232h8804 the landh127.

24

And it shall come to pass in the increaseh8393, that ye shall giveh5414h8804 the fifthh2549 part unto Pharaohh6547, and fourh702 partsh3027 shall be your own, for seedh2233 of the fieldh7704, and for your foodh400, and for them of your householdsh1004, and for foodh398h8800 for your little onesh2945.

25

And they saidh559h8799, Thou hast saved our livesh2421h8689: let us findh4672h8799 graceh2580 in the sighth5869 of my lordh113, and we will be Pharaoh'sh6547 servantsh5650.

26

And Josephh3130 madeh7760h8799 it a lawh2706 over the landh127 of Egypth4714 unto this dayh3117, that Pharaohh6547 should have the fifthh2569 part ; excepth7535 the landh127 of the priestsh3548 only, which became not Pharaoh'sh6547. priests: or, princes

27

And Israelh3478 dwelth3427h8799 in the landh776 of Egypth4714, in the countryh776 of Goshenh1657; and they had possessionsh270h8735 therein, and grewh6509h8799, and multipliedh7235h8799 exceedinglyh3966.

28

And Jacobh3290 livedh2421h8799 in the landh776 of Egypth4714 seventeenh6240h7651 yearsh8141: so the whole ageh2416h3117 of Jacobh3290 was an hundredh3967 fortyh705h8141 and sevenh7651 yearsh8141. the whole...: Heb. the days of the years of his life

29

And the timeh3117 drew nighh7126h8799 that Israelh3478 must dieh4191h8800: and he calledh7121h8799 his sonh1121 Josephh3130, and saidh559h8799 unto him, If now I have foundh4672h8804 graceh2580 in thy sighth5869, puth7760h8798, I pray thee, thy handh3027 under my thighh3409, and dealh6213h8804 kindlyh2617 and trulyh571 with me; buryh6912h8799 me not, I pray thee, in Egypth4714:

30

But I will lieh7901h8804 with my fathersh1, and thou shalt carryh5375h8804 me out of Egypth4714, and buryh6912h8804 me in their buryingplaceh6900. And he saidh559h8799, I will doh6213h8799 as thou hast saidh1697.

31

And he saidh559h8799, Swearh7650h8734 unto me. And he swareh7650h8735 unto him. And Israelh3478 bowedh7812h8691 himself upon the bed'sh4296 headh7218.
