47:1

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>_.

47:2

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>_.

47:3

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>_.

47:4

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>_.

47:5

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:

47:6

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>_.

47:7

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>_.

47:8

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?}

47:9

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>_.

47:10

And Jacob
<03290>

blessed
<01288> (8762)

Pharaoh
<06547>_,

and went out
<03318> (8799)

from before
<06440>

Pharaoh
<06547>_.

47:11

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)_.

47:12

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}

47:13

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>_.

47:14

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>_.

47:15

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)_.

47:16

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)_.

47:17

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}
