Genesis 47:1-29

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}

47:18

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>_:

47:19

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)_.

47:20

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>_.

47:21

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.

47:22

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}

47:23

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>_.

47:24

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>_.

47:25

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>_.

47:26

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}

47:27

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>_.

47:28

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}

47:29

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>_:
