Genesis 47:6-11

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

7Then Joseph brought his father Jacob and 5presented him to Pharaoh; and Jacob 6blessed Pharaoh. 8And Pharaoh said to Jacob, “How many 7years have you lived?” 9So Jacob said to Pharaoh, “The 8 9years of my living abroad are 10130; few and 11unpleasant have been the 12years of my life, nor have they 13attained 14the 15years 16that my fathers lived during the days of their living abroad.” 10So Jacob 17blessed Pharaoh, and went out from 18his presence. 11Now Joseph settled his father and his brothers and gave them property in the land of Egypt, in 19the best of the land, in the land of 20Rameses, as Pharaoh had ordered.
