God’s Word Translation
Genesis 47:7-12
7Then Joseph brought his father Jacob and had him stand in front of Pharaoh. Jacob blessed Pharaoh.
8Pharaoh asked him, “How old are you?”
9Jacob answered Pharaoh, “The length of my stay on earth has been 130 years. The years of my life have been few and difficult, fewer than my ancestors’ years.”
10Then Jacob blessed Pharaoh and left.
11As Pharaoh had ordered, Joseph had his father and his brothers live in the best part of Egypt, the region of Rameses. He gave them property there.
12Joseph also provided his father, his brothers, and all his father’s family with food based on the number of children they had.
