1Then JosephH3130 cameH935 and toldH5046 PharaohH6547, and saidH559, My fatherH1 and my brethrenH251, and their flocksH6629, and their herdsH1241, and all that they have, have comeH935 from the landH776 of CanaanH3667; and, behold, they are in the landH776 of GoshenH1657.

2And he tookH3947 someH7097 of his brethrenH251, even fiveH2568 menH582, and presentedH3322 them toH6440 PharaohH6547.

3And PharaohH6547 saidH559 to his brethrenH251, What is your occupationH4639? And they saidH559 to PharaohH6547, Thy servantsH5650 are shepherdsH7462H6629, both we, and also our fathersH1.

4They saidH559 moreover to PharaohH6547, We have comeH935 to sojournH1481 in the landH776; for thy servantsH5650 have no pastureH4829 for their flocksH6629; for the famineH7458 is severeH3515 in the landH776 of CanaanH3667: now therefore, we pray thee, let thy servantsH5650 dwellH3427 in the landH776 of GoshenH1657.

5And PharaohH6547 spokeH559 to JosephH3130, sayingH559, Thy fatherH1 and thy brethrenH251 have comeH935 to thee:

6The landH776 of EgyptH4714 is before theeH6440; in the bestH4315 of the landH776 makeH3427 thy fatherH1 and brethrenH251 to dwellH3427; in the landH776 of GoshenH1657 let them dwellH3427: and if thou knowestH3045H3426 any able menH582H2428 among them, then make themH7760 rulersH8269 over my cattleH4735.

7And JosephH3130 brought inH935 JacobH3290 his fatherH1, and set himH5975 beforeH6440 PharaohH6547: and JacobH3290 blessedH1288 PharaohH6547.

8And PharaohH6547 saidH559 to JacobH3290, HowH4100 oldH2416H3117H8141 art thou?1

9And JacobH3290 saidH559 to 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 lifeH2416, nor have they attainedH5381 to the daysH3117 of the yearsH8141 of the lifeH2416 of my fathersH1 in the daysH3117 of their pilgrimageH4033.

10And JacobH3290 blessedH1288 PharaohH6547, and went outH3318 from beforeH6440 PharaohH6547.

11And JosephH3130 placedH3427 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.
