01:047:022 Only the land of the priests bought he not; for the priests
had a portion assigned them of Pharaoh, and did eat their portion which
Pharaoh gave them: wherefore they sold not their lands.
01:047:023 Then Joseph said unto the people, Behold, I have bought you
this day and your land for Pharaoh: lo, here is seed for you, and ye
shall sow the land.
01:047:024 And it shall come to pass in the increase, that ye shall give
the fifth part unto Pharaoh, and four parts shall be your own, for seed
of the field, and for your food, and for them of your households, and
for food for your little ones.
01:047:025 And they said, Thou hast saved our lives: let us find grace
in the sight of my lord, and we will be Pharaoh's servants.
01:047:026 And Joseph made it a law over the land of Egypt unto this
day, that Pharaoh should have the fifth part, except the land of the
priests only, which became not Pharaoh's.
01:047:027 And Israel dwelt in the land of Egypt, in the country of
Goshen; and they had possessions therein, and grew, and multiplied
exceedingly.
01:047:028 And Jacob lived in the land of Egypt seventeen years: so the
whole age of Jacob was an hundred forty and seven years.
01:047:029 And the time drew nigh that Israel must die: and he called
his son Joseph, and said unto him, If now I have found grace in thy
sight, put, I pray thee, thy hand under my thigh, and deal kindly and
truly with me; bury me not, I pray thee, in Egypt:
01:047:030 But I will lie with my fathers, and thou shalt carry me out
of Egypt, and bury me in their buryingplace. And he said, I will do as
thou hast said.
01:047:031 And he said, Swear unto me. And he sware unto him. And Israel
bowed himself upon the bed's head.
01:048:001 And it came to pass after these things, that one told Joseph,
Behold, thy father is sick: and he took with him his two sons, Manasseh
and Ephraim.
01:048:002 And one told Jacob, and said, Behold, thy son Joseph cometh
unto thee: and Israel strengthened himself, and sat upon the bed.
01:048:003 And Jacob said unto Joseph, God Almighty appeared unto me at
Luz in the land of Canaan, and blessed me,
01:048:004 And said unto me, Behold, I will make thee fruitful, and
multiply thee, and I will make of thee a multitude of people; and will
give this land to thy seed after thee for an everlasting possession.
01:048:005 And now thy two sons, Ephraim and Manasseh, which were born
unto thee in the land of Egypt before I came unto thee into Egypt, are
mine; as Reuben and Simeon, they shall be mine.
01:048:006 And thy issue, which thou begettest after them, shall be
thine, and shall be called after the name of their brethren in their
inheritance.
01:048:007 And as for me, when I came from Padan, Rachel died by me in
the land of Canaan in the way, when yet there was but a little way to
come unto Ephrath: and I buried her there in the way of Ephrath; the

01:048:008 And Israel beheld Joseph's sons, and said, Who are these?
