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.
01:047:012 And Joseph nourished his father, and his brethren, and all
his father's household, with bread, according to their families.
01:047:013 And there was no bread in all the land; for the famine was
very sore, so that the land of Egypt and all the land of Canaan fainted
by reason of the famine.
01:047:014 And Joseph gathered up all the money that was found in the
land of Egypt, and in the land of Canaan, for the corn which they
bought: and Joseph brought the money into Pharaoh's house.
01:047:015 And when money failed in the land of Egypt, and in the land
of Canaan, all the Egyptians came unto Joseph, and said, Give us bread:
for why should we die in thy presence? for the money faileth.
01:047:016 And Joseph said, Give your cattle; and I will give you for
your cattle, if money fail.
01:047:017 And they brought their cattle unto Joseph: and Joseph gave
them bread in exchange for horses, and for the flocks, and for the
cattle of the herds, and for the asses: and he fed them with bread for
all their cattle for that year.
01:047:018 When that year was ended, they came unto him the second year,
and said unto him, We will not hide it from my lord, how that our money
is spent; my lord also hath our herds of cattle; there is not ought left
in the sight of my lord, but our bodies, and our lands:
01:047:019 Wherefore shall we die before thine eyes, both we and our
land? buy us and our land for bread, and we and our land will be
servants unto Pharaoh: and give us seed, that we may live, and not die,
that the land be not desolate.
01:047:020 And Joseph bought all the land of Egypt for Pharaoh; for the
Egyptians sold every man his field, because the famine prevailed over
them: so the land became Pharaoh's.
01:047:021 And as for the people, he removed them to cities from one end
of the borders of Egypt even to the other end thereof.
