Genesis 47:4-10

4And they said to Pharaoh, To sojourn in the land are we come; for there is no pasture for the sheep that thy servants have, for the famine is grievous in the land of Canaan; and now, we pray thee, let thy servants dwell in the land of Goshen.

5And Pharaoh spoke to Joseph, saying, Thy father and thy brethren are come to thee.

6The land of Egypt is before thee; in the best of the land settle thy father and thy brethren: let them dwell in the land of Goshen. And if thou knowest men of activity among them, then set them as overseers of cattle over what I have.

7And Joseph brought Jacob his father, and set him before Pharaoh. And Jacob blessed Pharaoh.

8And Pharaoh said to Jacob, How many are the days of the years of thy life?

9And Jacob said to Pharaoh, The days of the years of my sojourning are a hundred and thirty years. Few and evil have been the days of the years of my life, and they do not attain to the days of the years of the life of my fathers, in the days of their sojourning.

10And Jacob blessed Pharaoh, and went out from Pharaoh.
