Genesis 47:5-10

5Then Pharaoh said to 1Joseph, “Your father and your brothers have come to you. 6The land of Egypt is 2at your disposal; 3settle your father and your brothers in 4the best of the land, let them 5live in the land of Goshen; and if you know any 6capable men among them, then 7put them in charge of my livestock.”

7Then Joseph brought his father Jacob and 8presented him to Pharaoh; and Jacob 9blessed Pharaoh. 8Pharaoh said to Jacob, “How many 10years have you lived?” 9So Jacob said to Pharaoh, “The 11 12years of my sojourning are one hundred and 13thirty; few and 14unpleasant have been the 15years of my life, nor have they 16attained 17the 18years 19that my fathers lived during the days of their sojourning.” 10And Jacob 20blessed Pharaoh, and went out from 21his presence.
