¹Then Joseph went in and told Pharaoh, and said, “My father and my brothers, with their flocks, their herds, and all that they own, have come out of the land of Canaan; and behold, they are in the land of Goshen.”

KJVThen Joseph^H3130 came^H935^(H8799) and told^H5046^(H8686) Pharaoh^H6547, and said^H559^(H8799), My father^H1 and my brethren^H251, and their flocks^H6629, and their herds^H1241, and all that they have, are come out^H935^(H8804) of the land^H776 of Canaan^H3667; and, behold, they are in the land^H776 of Goshen^H1657.

² From among his brothers he took five men, and presented them to Pharaoh.

KJVAnd he took^H3947^(H8804) some^H7097 of his brethren^H251, even five^H2568 men^H582, and presented^H3322^(H8686) them unto^H6440 Pharaoh^H6547.

³ Pharaoh said to his brothers, “What is your occupation?” They said to Pharaoh, “Your servants are shepherds, both we, and our fathers.”

KJVAnd Pharaoh^H6547 said^H559^(H8799) unto his brethren^H251, What is your occupation^H4639? And they said^H559^(H8799) unto Pharaoh^H6547, Thy servants^H5650 are shepherds^H7462^(H8802)^H6629, both we, and also our fathers^H1.

⁴ They also said to Pharaoh, “We have come to live as foreigners in the land, for there is no pasture for your servants’ flocks. For the famine is severe in the land of Canaan. Now therefore, please let your servants dwell in the land of Goshen.”

KJVThey said^H559^(H8799) moreover unto Pharaoh^H6547, For to sojourn^H1481^(H8800) in the land^H776 are we come^H935^(H8804); for thy servants^H5650 have no pasture^H4829 for their flocks^H6629; for the famine^H7458 is sore^H3515 in the land^H776 of Canaan^H3667: now therefore, we pray thee, let thy servants^H5650 dwell^H3427^(H8799) in the land^H776 of Goshen^H1657.

⁵ Pharaoh spoke to Joseph, saying, “Your father and your brothers have come to you.

KJVAnd Pharaoh^H6547 spake^H559^(H8799) unto Joseph^H3130, saying^H559^(H8800), Thy father^H1 and thy brethren^H251 are come^H935^(H8804) unto thee:

⁶ The land of Egypt is before you. Make your father and your brothers dwell in the best of the land. Let them dwell in the land of Goshen. If you know any able men among them, then put them in charge of my livestock.”

KJVThe land^H776 of Egypt^H4714 is before thee^H6440; in the best^H4315 of the land^H776 make^H3427 thy father^H1 and brethren^H251 to dwell^H3427^(H8685); in the land^H776 of Goshen^H1657 let them dwell^H3427^(H8799): and if thou knowest^H3045^(H8804)^H3426 any men^H582 of activity^H2428 among them, then make them^H7760^(H8804) rulers^H8269 over my cattle^H4735.

⁷ Joseph brought in Jacob, his father, and set him before Pharaoh; and Jacob blessed Pharaoh.

KJVAnd Joseph^H3130 brought in^H935^(H8686) Jacob^H3290 his father^H1, and set him^H5975^(H8686) before^H6440 Pharaoh^H6547: and Jacob^H3290 blessed^H1288^(H8762) Pharaoh^H6547.

⁸ Pharaoh said to Jacob, “How old are you?”

KJVAnd Pharaoh^H6547 said^H559^(H8799) unto Jacob^H3290, How^H4100 old^H2416^H3117^H8141 art thou?

⁹ Jacob said to Pharaoh, “The years of my pilgrimage are one hundred thirty years. The days of the years of my life have been few and evil. They have not attained to the days of the years of the life of my fathers in the days of their pilgrimage.”

KJVAnd Jacob^H3290 said^H559^(H8799) unto Pharaoh^H6547, The days^H3117 of the years^H8141 of my pilgrimage^H4033 are an hundred^H3967 and thirty^H7970 years^H8141: few^H4592 and evil^H7451 have the days^H3117 of the years^H8141 of my life^H2416 been, and have not attained^H5381^(H8689) unto the days^H3117 of the years^H8141 of the life^H2416 of my fathers^H1 in the days^H3117 of their pilgrimage^H4033.

¹⁰ Jacob blessed Pharaoh, and went out from the presence of Pharaoh.

KJVAnd Jacob^H3290 blessed^H1288^(H8762) Pharaoh^H6547, and went out^H3318^(H8799) from before^H6440 Pharaoh^H6547.

¹¹ Joseph placed his father and his brothers, 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.

KJVAnd Joseph^H3130 placed^H3427^(H8686) his father^H1 and his brethren^H251, and gave^H5414^(H8799) them a possession^H272 in the land^H776 of Egypt^H4714, in the best^H4315 of the land^H776, in the land^H776 of Rameses^H7486, as Pharaoh^H6547 had commanded^H6680^(H8765).

¹² Joseph provided his father, his brothers, and all of his father’s household with bread, according to the sizes of their families.

KJVAnd Joseph^H3130 nourished^H3557^(H8770) his father^H1, and his brethren^H251, and all his father's^H1 household^H1004, with bread^H3899, according^H6310 to their families^H2945.

¹³ There was no bread in all the land; for the famine was very severe, so that the land of Egypt and the land of Canaan fainted by reason of the famine.

KJVAnd there was no bread^H3899 in all the land^H776; for the famine^H7458 was very^H3966 sore^H3515, so that the land^H776 of Egypt^H4714 and all the land^H776 of Canaan^H3667 fainted^H3856^(H8799) by reason^H6440 of the famine^H7458.

¹⁴ Joseph gathered up all the money that was found in the land of Egypt, and in the land of Canaan, for the grain which they bought: and Joseph brought the money into Pharaoh’s house.

KJVAnd Joseph^H3130 gathered up^H3950^(H8762) all the money^H3701 that was found^H4672^(H8737) in the land^H776 of Egypt^H4714, and in the land^H776 of Canaan^H3667, for the corn^H7668 which they bought^H7666^(H8802): and Joseph^H3130 brought^H935^(H8686) the money^H3701 into Pharaoh's^H6547 house^H1004.

¹⁵ When the money was all spent in the land of Egypt, and in the land of Canaan, all the Egyptians came to Joseph, and said, “Give us bread, for why should we die in your presence? For our money fails.”

KJVAnd when money^H3701 failed^H8552^(H8799) in the land^H776 of Egypt^H4714, and in the land^H776 of Canaan^H3667, all the Egyptians^H4714 came^H935^(H8799) unto Joseph^H3130, and said^H559^(H8800), Give^H3051^(H8798) us bread^H3899: for why should we die^H4191^(H8799) in thy presence? for the money^H3701 faileth^H656^(H8804).

¹⁶ Joseph said, “Give me your livestock; and I will give you food for your livestock, if your money is gone.”

KJVAnd Joseph^H3130 said^H559^(H8799), Give^H3051^(H8798) your cattle^H4735; and I will give^H5414^(H8799) you for your cattle^H4735, if money^H3701 fail^H656^(H8804).

¹⁷ They brought their livestock to Joseph, and Joseph gave them bread in exchange for the horses, and for the flocks, and for the herds, and for the donkeys: and he fed them with bread in exchange for all their livestock for that year.

KJVAnd they brought^H935^(H8686) their cattle^H4735 unto Joseph^H3130: and Joseph^H3130 gave^H5414^(H8799) them bread^H3899 in exchange for horses^H5483, and for the flocks^H6629, and for the cattle^H4735 of the herds^H1241, and for the asses^H2543: and he fed^H5095^(H8762) them with bread^H3899 for all their cattle^H4735 for that year^H8141.

¹⁸ When that year was ended, they came to him the second year, and said to him, “We will not hide from my lord how our money is all spent, and the herds of livestock are my lord’s. There is nothing left in the sight of my lord, but our bodies, and our lands.

KJVWhen that year^H8141 was ended^H8552^(H8799), they came^H935^(H8799) unto him the second^H8145 year^H8141, and said^H559^(H8799) unto him, We will not hide^H3582^(H8762) it from my lord^H113, how that our money^H3701 is spent^H8552^(H8804); my lord^H113 also hath^H413 our herds^H4735 of cattle^H929; there is not ought left^H7604^(H8738) in the sight^H6440 of my lord^H113, but our bodies^H1472, and our lands^H127:

¹⁹ Why should we die before your eyes, both we and our land? Buy us and our land for bread, and we and our land will be servants to Pharaoh. Give us seed, that we may live, and not die, and that the land won’t be desolate.”

KJVWherefore shall we die^H4191^(H8799) before thine eyes^H5869, both we and our land^H127? buy^H7069^(H8798) us and our land^H127 for bread^H3899, and we and our land^H127 will be servants^H5650 unto Pharaoh^H6547: and give^H5414^(H8798) us seed^H2233, that we may live^H2421^(H8799), and not die^H4191^(H8799), that the land^H127 be not desolate^H3456^(H8799).

²⁰ So Joseph bought all the land of Egypt for Pharaoh, for every man of the Egyptians sold his field, because the famine was severe on them, and the land became Pharaoh’s.

KJVAnd Joseph^H3130 bought^H7069^(H8799) all the land^H127 of Egypt^H4714 for Pharaoh^H6547; for the Egyptians^H4714 sold^H4376^(H8804) every man^H376 his field^H7704, because the famine^H7458 prevailed^H2388^(H8804) over them: so the land^H776 became Pharaoh's^H6547.

²¹ As for the people, he moved them to the cities from one end of the border of Egypt even to the other end of it.

KJVAnd as for the people^H5971, he removed^H5674^(H8689) them to cities^H5892 from one end^H7097 of the borders^H1366 of Egypt^H4714 even to the other end^H7097 thereof.

²² Only he didn’t buy the land of the priests, for the priests had a portion from Pharaoh, and ate their portion which Pharaoh gave them. That is why they didn’t sell their land.

KJVOnly the land^H127 of the priests^H3548 bought he^H7069^(H8804) not; for the priests^H3548 had a portion^H2706 assigned them of Pharaoh^H6547, and did eat^H398^(H8804) their portion^H2706 which Pharaoh^H6547 gave^H5414^(H8804) them: wherefore they sold^H4376^(H8804) not their lands^H127.

²³ Then Joseph said to the people, “Behold, I have bought you and your land today for Pharaoh. Behold, here is seed for you, and you shall sow the land.

KJVThen Joseph^H3130 said^H559^(H8799) unto the people^H5971, Behold, I have bought^H7069^(H8804)^H853 you this day^H3117 and your land^H127 for Pharaoh^H6547: lo^H1887, here is seed^H2233 for you, and ye shall sow^H2232^(H8804) the land^H127.

²⁴ It will happen at the harvests, that you shall give a fifth to Pharaoh, and four parts will be your own, for seed of the field, for your food, for them of your households, and for food for your little ones.”

KJVAnd it shall come to pass in the increase^H8393, that ye shall give^H5414^(H8804) the fifth^H2549 part unto Pharaoh^H6547, and four^H702 parts^H3027 shall be your own, for seed^H2233 of the field^H7704, and for your food^H400, and for them of your households^H1004, and for food^H398^(H8800) for your little ones^H2945.

²⁵ They said, “You have saved our lives! Let us find favor in the sight of my lord, and we will be Pharaoh’s servants.”

KJVAnd they said^H559^(H8799), Thou hast saved our lives^H2421^(H8689): let us find^H4672^(H8799) grace^H2580 in the sight^H5869 of my lord^H113, and we will be Pharaoh's^H6547 servants^H5650.

²⁶ Joseph made it a statute concerning the land of Egypt to this day, that Pharaoh should have the fifth. Only the land of the priests alone didn’t become Pharaoh’s.

KJVAnd Joseph^H3130 made^H7760^(H8799) it a law^H2706 over the land^H127 of Egypt^H4714 unto this day^H3117, that Pharaoh^H6547 should have the fifth^H2569 part; except^H7535 the land^H127 of the priests^H3548 only, which became not Pharaoh's^H6547.

²⁷ Israel lived in the land of Egypt, in the land of Goshen; and they got themselves possessions therein, and were fruitful, and multiplied exceedingly.

KJVAnd Israel^H3478 dwelt^H3427^(H8799) in the land^H776 of Egypt^H4714, in the country^H776 of Goshen^H1657; and they had possessions^H270^(H8735) therein, and grew^H6509^(H8799), and multiplied^H7235^(H8799) exceedingly^H3966.

²⁸ Jacob lived in the land of Egypt seventeen years. So the days of Jacob, the years of his life, were one hundred forty-seven years.

KJVAnd Jacob^H3290 lived^H2421^(H8799) in the land^H776 of Egypt^H4714 seventeen^H6240^H7651 years^H8141: so the whole age^H2416^H3117 of Jacob^H3290 was an hundred^H3967 forty^H705^H8141 and seven^H7651 years^H8141.

²⁹ The time came near that Israel must die, and he called his son Joseph, and said to him, “If now I have found favor in your sight, please put your hand under my thigh, and deal kindly and truly with me. Please don’t bury me in Egypt,

KJVAnd the time^H3117 drew nigh^H7126^(H8799) that Israel^H3478 must die^H4191^(H8800): and he called^H7121^(H8799) his son^H1121 Joseph^H3130, and said^H559^(H8799) unto him, If now I have found^H4672^(H8804) grace^H2580 in thy sight^H5869, put^H7760^(H8798), I pray thee, thy hand^H3027 under my thigh^H3409, and deal^H6213^(H8804) kindly^H2617 and truly^H571 with me; bury^H6912^(H8799) me not, I pray thee, in Egypt^H4714:

³⁰ but when I sleep with my fathers, you shall carry me out of Egypt, and bury me in their burying place.” Joseph said, “I will do as you have said.”

KJVBut I will lie^H7901^(H8804) with my fathers^H1, and thou shalt carry^H5375^(H8804) me out of Egypt^H4714, and bury^H6912^(H8804) me in their buryingplace^H6900. And he said^H559^(H8799), I will do^H6213^(H8799) as thou hast said^H1697.

³¹ Israel said, “Swear to me,” and he swore to him. Then Israel bowed himself on the bed’s head.

KJVAnd he said^H559^(H8799), Swear^H7650^(H8734) unto me. And he sware^H7650^(H8735) unto him. And Israel^H3478 bowed^H7812^(H8691) himself upon the bed's^H4296 head^H7218.

³ He said, “I am God, the God of your father. Don’t be afraid to go down into Egypt, for there I will make of you a great nation.

KJVAnd he said^H559^(H8799), I am God^H410, the God^H430 of thy father^H1: fear^H3372^(H8799) not to go down^H3381^(H8800) into Egypt^H4714; for I will there make^H7760^(H8799) of thee a great^H1419 nation^H1471:

⁴ I will go down with you into Egypt. I will also surely bring you up again. Joseph’s hand will close your eyes.”

KJVI will go down^H3381^(H8799) with thee into Egypt^H4714; and I will also surely^H5927^(H8800) bring thee up^H5927^(H8686) again: and Joseph^H3130 shall put^H7896^(H8799) his hand^H3027 upon thine eyes^H5869.
