Genesis 47:4-10
4They said to Pharaoh, “1We have come to sojourn in the land, for there is no pasture for your servants’ flocks, for 2the famine is severe in the land of Canaan. Now, therefore, please let your servants 34live in the land of Goshen.” 5Then Pharaoh said to 5Joseph, “Your father and your brothers have come to you. 6The land of Egypt is 6at your disposal; 7settle your father and your brothers in 8the best of the land, let them 9live in the land of Goshen; and if you know any 10capable men among them, then 11put them in charge of my livestock.”
7Then Joseph brought his father Jacob and 12presented him to Pharaoh; and Jacob 13blessed Pharaoh. 8Pharaoh said to Jacob, “How many 14years have you lived?” 9So Jacob said to Pharaoh, “The 1516years of my sojourning are one hundred and 17thirty; few and 18unpleasant have been the 19years of my life, nor have they 20attained 21the 22years 23that my fathers lived during the days of their sojourning.” 10And Jacob 24blessed Pharaoh, and went out from 25his presence.
