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

7Then Joseph brought his father Jacob and 6presented him to Pharaoh; and Jacob 7blessed Pharaoh. 8And Pharaoh said to Jacob, “How many 8years have you lived?” 9So Jacob said to Pharaoh, “The 9 10years of my living abroad are 11130; few and 12unpleasant have been the 13years of my life, nor have they 14attained 15the 16years 17that my fathers lived during the days of their living abroad.” 10So Jacob 18blessed Pharaoh, and went out from 19his presence.
