Genesis 47:6-11

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

7Then Joseph brought his father Jacob and 7presented him to Pharaoh; and Jacob 8blessed Pharaoh. 8Pharaoh said to Jacob, “How many 9years have you lived?” 9So Jacob said to Pharaoh, “The 10 11years of my sojourning are one hundred and 12thirty; few and 13unpleasant have been the 14years of my life, nor have they 15attained 16the 17years 18that my fathers lived during the days of their sojourning.” 10And Jacob 19blessed Pharaoh, and went out from 20his presence. 11So Joseph 21settled his father and his brothers and gave them a possession in the land of Egypt, in 22the best of the land, in the land of 23Rameses, as Pharaoh had ordered.
