Genesis 47:4-10

4Then they saidH559 toH413 PharaohH6547, “We have comeH935 to live in the landH776 for a timeH1481, becauseH3588 there is noH369 pastureH4829 for the flocksH6629 of your servantsH5650, sinceH3588 the famineH7458 in the landH776 of CanaanH3667 has been severeH3515. So nowH6258, pleaseH4994 allow your servantsH5650 to settleH3427 in the landH776 of GoshenH1657.”

5PharaohH6547 saidH559 toH413 JosephH3130H559, “Now that your fatherH1 and brothersH251 have comeH935 to youH413, 6the landH776 of EgyptH4714 is before youH6440H1931; settleH3427 your fatherH1 and brothersH251 in the bestH4315 part of the landH776. They may dwellH3427 in the landH776 of GoshenH1657. And ifH518 you know ofH3045H3426 any talentedH2428 men among themH582, put themH7760 in charge ofH8269 my own livestockH4735H5921.”

7Then JosephH3130 brought inH935 his fatherH1 JacobH3290 and presented himH5975 beforeH6440 PharaohH6547, and JacobH3290 blessedH1288 PharaohH6547.

8“How manyH4100 yearsH3117H8141 have you livedH2416?” PharaohH6547 askedH559H413H3290.

9“My travelsH40331 have lasted 130H3967H7970 yearsH8141,” JacobH3290 repliedH559H413H6547. “My yearsH3117H8141H2416 have beenH1961 fewH4592 and hardH7451, and they have notH3808 matchedH5381 the yearsH3117H8141H2416 of the travelsH4033 of my fathersH1.”

10Then JacobH3290 blessedH1288 PharaohH6547 and departedH3318 fromH6547 his presenceH6440.
