Genesis 47:1-11

1Then JosephH3130 wentH935 in and toldH5046 PharaohH6547, and saidH559, My fatherH1 and my brethrenH251, and their flocksH6629, and their herdsH1241, and allH3605 that they have, are comeH935 outH3605 of the landH776 of CanaanH3667; and, beholdH2005, they are in the landH776 of GoshenH1657.

2And from among his brethrenH251 he tookH3947 fiveH2568 menH376, and presented them unto PharaohH6547.

3And PharaohH6547 saidH559 unto his brethrenH251, WhatH4100 is your occupationH4639? And they saidH559 unto PharaohH6547, Thy servantsH5650 are shepherdsH7462, bothH1571 weH587, and our fathersH1.

4And they saidH559 unto PharaohH6547, To sojourn in the landH776 are weH3588 comeH935; for there is noH369 pastureH4829 for thy servants’H5650 flocksH6629; for the famineH7458 is sore in the landH776 of CanaanH3667: nowH6258 therefore, weH3588 prayH4994 thee, letH4994 thy servantsH5650 dwellH3427 in the landH776 of GoshenH1657.

5And PharaohH6547 spake unto JosephH3130, sayingH559, Thy fatherH1 and thy brethrenH251 are comeH935 unto thee:

6the landH776 of EgyptH4714 is beforeH6440 thee; in the bestH4315 of the landH776 makeH7760 thy fatherH1 and thy brethrenH251 to dwellH3427; in the landH776 of GoshenH1657 letH7760 them dwellH3427: and ifH518 thou knowest anyH376 ableH2428 menH376 among them, then makeH7760 them rulersH8269 over my cattleH4735.

7And JosephH3130 broughtH935 in JacobH3290 his fatherH1, and setH5975 him beforeH6440 PharaohH6547: and JacobH3290 blessedH1288 PharaohH6547.

8And PharaohH6547 saidH559 unto JacobH3290, HowH4100 manyH4100 are the daysH3117 of the yearsH8141 of thy lifeH3117?

9And JacobH3290 saidH559 unto PharaohH6547, The daysH3117 of the yearsH8141 of my pilgrimageH4033 are an hundredH3967 and thirtyH7970 yearsH8141: fewH4592 and evilH7451 have been the daysH3117 of the yearsH8141 of my lifeH3117, and they have notH3808 attainedH5381 unto the daysH3117 of the yearsH8141 of the lifeH3117 of my fathersH1 in the daysH3117 of their pilgrimageH4033.

10And JacobH3290 blessedH1288 PharaohH6547, and wentH3318 outH3318 from the presenceH6440 of PharaohH6547.

11And JosephH3130 placedH5414 his fatherH1 and his brethrenH251, and gaveH5414 them a possessionH272 in the landH776 of EgyptH4714, in the bestH4315 of the landH776, in the landH776 of RamesesH7486, as PharaohH6547 had commandedH6680.
