Genesis 47:4-10
4And they saidH559 unto PharaohH6547, To sojourn in the landH776 are we comeH935; for there is no pastureH4829 for thy servants’H5650 flocksH6629; for the famineH7458 is sore in the landH776 of CanaanH3667: nowH6258 thereforeH6258, we pray thee, let thy servantsH5650 dwellH3427 in the landH776 of GoshenH1657.
5And PharaohH6547 spake unto JosephH3130, sayingH559, Thy fatherH1 and thy brethren are comeH935 unto thee:
6the landH776 of EgyptH4714 is before thee; in the best of the landH776 makeH7760 thy fatherH1 and thy brethren to dwellH3427; in the landH776 of GoshenH1657 let them dwellH3427: and if thou knowest any able menH376 among them, then makeH7760 them rulers over my cattle.
7And JosephH3130 broughtH935 in JacobH3290 his fatherH1, and setH5975 him before PharaohH6547: and JacobH3290 blessedH1288 PharaohH6547.
8And PharaohH6547 saidH559 unto JacobH3290, HowH4100 many are the daysH3117 of the yearsH8141 of thy life?
9And JacobH3290 saidH559 unto PharaohH6547, The daysH3117 of the yearsH8141 of my pilgrimage are a hundredH3967 and thirtyH7970 yearsH8141: fewH4592 and evilH7451 have beenH1961 the daysH3117 of the yearsH8141 of my life, and they have not attained unto the daysH3117 of the yearsH8141 of the life of my fathersH1 in the daysH3117 of their pilgrimage.
10And JacobH3290 blessedH1288 PharaohH6547, and wentH3318 out from the presenceH6440 of PharaohH6547.
