01:046:030 And Israel said unto Joseph, Now let me die, since I have seen
thy face, because thou art yet alive.
01:046:031 And Joseph said unto his brethren, and unto his father's
house, I will go up, and shew Pharaoh, and say unto him, My
brethren, and my father's house, which were in the land of
Canaan, are come unto me;
01:046:032 And the men are shepherds, for their trade hath been to feed
cattle; and they have brought their flocks, and their herds,
and all that they have.
01:046:033 And it shall come to pass, when Pharaoh shall call you, and
shall say, What is your occupation?
01:046:034 That ye shall say, Thy servants' trade hath been about cattle
from our youth even until now, both we, and also our fathers:
that ye may dwell in the land of Goshen; for every shepherd is
an abomination unto the Egyptians.
01:047:001 Then Joseph came and told Pharaoh, and said, My father and my
brethren, and their flocks, and their herds, and all that they
have, are come out of the land of Canaan; and, behold, they
are in the land of Goshen.
01:047:002 And he took some of his brethren, even five men, and presented
them unto Pharaoh.
01:047:003 And Pharaoh said unto his brethren, What is your occupation?
And they said unto Pharaoh, Thy servants are shepherds, both
we, and also our fathers.
01:047:004 They said morever unto Pharaoh, For to sojourn in the land are
we come; for thy servants have no pasture for their flocks;
for the famine is sore in the land of Canaan: now therefore,
we pray thee, let thy servants dwell in the land of Goshen.
01:047:005 And Pharaoh spake unto Joseph, saying, Thy father and thy
brethren are come unto thee:
01:047:006 The land of Egypt is before thee; in the best of the land make
thy father and brethren to dwell; in the land of Goshen let
them dwell: and if thou knowest any men of activity among
them, then make them rulers over my cattle.
01:047:007 And Joseph brought in Jacob his father, and set him before
Pharaoh: and Jacob blessed Pharaoh.
01:047:008 And Pharaoh said unto Jacob, How old art thou?
01:047:009 And Jacob said unto Pharaoh, The days of the years of my
pilgrimage are an hundred and thirty years: few and evil have
the days of the years of my life been, and have not attained
unto the days of the years of the life of my fathers in the
days of their pilgrimage.
01:047:010 And Jacob blessed Pharaoh, and went out from before Pharaoh.
01:047:011 And Joseph placed his father and his brethren, and gave them a
possession in the land of Egypt, in the best of the land, in
the land of Rameses, as Pharaoh had commanded.
