Genesis 47:4-10

4They also said to Pharaoh, “1We have come to reside 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 3live in the land of Goshen.” 5Then Pharaoh said to 4Joseph, “Your father and your brothers have come to you. 6The land of Egypt is 5at your disposal; settle your father and your brothers in 6the best of the land, let them live in the land of Goshen; and if you know any 7capable men among them, then 8put them in charge of my livestock.”

7Then Joseph brought his father Jacob and 9presented him to Pharaoh; and Jacob 10blessed Pharaoh. 8And Pharaoh said to Jacob, “How many 11years have you lived?” 9So Jacob said to Pharaoh, “The 12 13years of my living abroad are 14130; few and 15unpleasant have been the 16years of my life, nor have they 17attained 18the 19years 20that my fathers lived during the days of their living abroad.” 10So Jacob 21blessed Pharaoh, and went out from 22his presence.
