Chapter 47

1  Joseph presenteth five of his brethren,  7  and his father, before Pharaoh.  11  He giveth them habitation and maintenance.  13  He getteth all the Egyptians' money,  16  their cattle,  18  their lands to Pharaoh.  22  The priests' land was not bought.  23  He letteth the land to them for a fifth part.  28  Jacob's age.  29  He sweareth Joseph to bury him with his fathers.

47:1 ¶ Then Joseph {3130} came {935} <8799> and told {5046} <8686> Pharaoh, {6547} and said, {559} <8799> My father {1} and my brethren, {251} and their flocks, {6629} and their herds, {1241} and all (3605) that (834) they have, are come (935) out [935] <8804> of the land {776} (4480) of Canaan; {3667} and, behold, (2009) they [are] in the land {776} of Goshen. {1657}

47:2 And he took {3947} <8804> some {7097} (4480) of his brethren, {251} [even] five {2568} men, [582] (376) and presented {3322} <8686> them unto {6440} Pharaoh. {6547}

47:3 And Pharaoh {6547} said {559} <8799> unto (413) his brethren, {251} What (4100) [is] your occupation? {4639} And they said {559} <8799> unto (413) Pharaoh, {6547} Thy servants {5650} [are] shepherds, {7462} {6629} <8802> both (1571) we, (587) [and] also (1571) our fathers. {1}

47:4 They said {559} <8799> moreover unto (413) Pharaoh, {6547} For to sojourn {1481} <8800> in the land {776} are we come; {935} <8804> for (3588) (834) thy servants {5650} have no (369) pasture {4829} for their flocks; {6629} for (3588) the famine {7458} [is] sore {3515} in the land {776} of Canaan: {3667} now (6258) therefore, we pray thee, (4994) let thy servants {5650} dwell {3427} <8799> in the land {776} of Goshen. {1657}

47:5 And Pharaoh {6547} spake {559} <8799> unto (413) Joseph, {3130} saying, {559} <8800> Thy father {1} and thy brethren {251} are come {935} <8804> unto (413) thee:

47:6 The land {776} of Egypt {4714} [is] before (6440) thee; [6440] in the best {4315} of the land {776} make [3427] <0> (853) thy father {1} and brethren {251} to dwell; {3427} <8685> in the land {776} of Goshen {1657} let them dwell: {3427} <8799> and if (518) thou knowest {3045} <8804> [3426] [any] men [582] (376) of activity {2428} among them, then make (7760) them [7760] <8804> rulers {8269} over my (5921) (834) cattle. {4735}

47:7 And Joseph {3130} brought in {935} <8686> (853) Jacob {3290} his father, {1} and set (5975) him [5975] <8686> before {6440} Pharaoh: {6547} and Jacob {3290} blessed {1288} <8762> (853) Pharaoh. {6547}

47:8 And Pharaoh {6547} said {559} <8799> unto (413) Jacob, {3290} How {4100} old {2416} {3117} {8141} [art] thou?

47:9 And Jacob {3290} said {559} <8799> unto (413) Pharaoh, {6547} The days {3117} of the years {8141} of my pilgrimage {4033} [are] an hundred {3967} and thirty {7970} years: {8141} few {4592} and evil {7451} have the days {3117} of the years {8141} of my life {2416} been, (1961) and have not (3808) attained [5381] <8689> unto (5381) (853) the days {3117} of the years {8141} of the life {2416} of my fathers {1} in the days {3117} of their pilgrimage. {4033}

47:10 And Jacob {3290} blessed {1288} <8762> (853) Pharaoh, {6547} and went out {3318} <8799> from before {6440} (4480) Pharaoh. {6547}

47:11 ¶ And Joseph {3130} placed {3427} <8686> (853) his father {1} and his brethren, {251} and gave {5414} <8799> them a possession {272} in the land {776} of Egypt, {4714} in the best {4315} of the land, {776} in the land {776} of Rameses, {7486} as (834) Pharaoh {6547} had commanded. {6680} <8765>

47:12 And Joseph {3130} nourished {3557} <8770> (853) his father, {1} and his brethren, {251} and all (3605) his father's {1} household, {1004} with bread, {3899} according [6310] to (6310) [their] families. {2945}

47:13 ¶ And [there was] no (369) bread {3899} in all (3605) the land; {776} for (3588) the famine {7458} [was] very {3966} sore, {3515} so that the land {776} of Egypt {4714} and [all] the land {776} of Canaan {3667} fainted {3856} <8799> by reason [6440] of (4480) (6440) the famine. {7458}

47:14 And Joseph {3130} gathered up {3950} <8762> (853) all (3605) the money {3701} that was found {4672} <8737> in the land {776} of Egypt, {4714} and in the land {776} of Canaan, {3667} for the corn {7668} which (834) they (1992) bought: {7666} <8802> and Joseph {3130} brought {935} <8686> (853) the money {3701} into Pharaoh's {6547} house. {1004}

47:15 And when money {3701} failed {8552} <8799> in the land {776} (4480) of Egypt, {4714} and in the land {776} (4480) of Canaan, {3667} all (3605) the Egyptians {4714} came {935} <8799> unto (413) Joseph, {3130} and said, {559} <8800> Give {3051} <8798> us bread: {3899} for why (4100) should we die {4191} <8799> in thy presence? (5048) for (3588) the money {3701} faileth. {656} <8804>

47:16 And Joseph {3130} said, {559} <8799> Give {3051} <8798> your cattle; {4735} and I will give {5414} <8799> you for your cattle, {4735} if (518) money {3701} fail. {656} <8804>

47:17 And they brought {935} <8686> (853) their cattle {4735} unto (413) Joseph: {3130} and Joseph {3130} gave {5414} <8799> them bread {3899} [in exchange] for horses, {5483} and for the flocks, {6629} (4735) and for the cattle {4735} of the herds, {1241} and for the asses: {2543} and he fed {5095} <8762> them with bread {3899} for all (3605) their cattle {4735} for that (1931) year. {8141}

47:18 When that (1931) year {8141} was ended, {8552} <8799> they came {935} <8799> unto (413) him the second {8145} year, {8141} and said {559} <8799> unto him, We will not (3808) hide {3582} <8762> [it] from (4480) my lord, {113} how that (3588) (518) our money {3701} is spent; {8552} <8804> my lord {113} also hath {413} our herds {4735} of cattle; {929} there is not (3808) ought left {7604} <8738> in the sight {6440} of my lord, {113} but (1115) (518) our bodies, {1472} and our lands: {127}

47:19 Wherefore (4100) shall we die {4191} <8799> before thine eyes, {5869} both (1571) we (587) and (1571) our land? {127} buy {7069} <8798> us and our land {127} for bread, {3899} and we (587) and our land {127} will be (1961) servants {5650} unto Pharaoh: {6547} and give {5414} <8798> [us] seed, {2233} that we may live, {2421} <8799> and not (3808) die, {4191} <8799> that the land {127} be not desolate. {3456} <8799> (3808)

47:20 And Joseph {3130} bought {7069} <8799> (853) all (3605) the land {127} of Egypt {4714} for Pharaoh; {6547} for (3588) the Egyptians {4714} sold {4376} <8804> every man {376} his field, {7704} because (3588) the famine {7458} prevailed {2388} <8804> over (5921) them: so the land {776} became (1961) Pharaoh's. {6547}

47:21 And as for the people, {5971} he removed {5674} <8689> them to cities {5892} from [one] end {7097} (4480) of the borders {1366} of Egypt {4714} even to (5704) the [other] end {7097} thereof.

47:22 Only (7535) the land {127} of the priests {3548} bought (7069) he [7069] <8804> not; (3808) for (3588) the priests {3548} had a portion {2706} [assigned them] of (4480) (854) Pharaoh, {6547} and did eat {398} <8804> (853) their portion {2706} which (834) Pharaoh {6547} gave {5414} <8804> them: wherefore (5921) (3651) they sold {4376} <8804> not (3808) (853) their lands. {127}

47:23 Then Joseph {3130} said {559} <8799> unto (413) the people, {5971} Behold, (2005) I have bought {7069} <8804> [853] you this day {3117} and your land {127} for Pharaoh: {6547} lo, {1887} [here is] seed {2233} for you, and ye shall sow {2232} <8804> (853) the land. {127}

47:24 And it shall come to pass (1961) in the increase, {8393} that ye shall give {5414} <8804> the fifth {2549} [part] unto Pharaoh, {6547} and four {702} parts {3027} shall be (1961) your own, for seed {2233} of the field, {7704} and for your food, {400} and for them (834) of your households, {1004} and for food {398} <8800> for your little ones. {2945}

47:25 And they said, {559} <8799> Thou hast saved our lives: {2421} <8689> let us find {4672} <8799> grace {2580} in the sight {5869} of my lord, {113} and we will be (1961) Pharaoh's {6547} servants. {5650}

47:26 And Joseph {3130} made {7760} <8799> it a law {2706} over (5921) the land {127} of Egypt {4714} unto (5704) this (2088) day, {3117} [that] Pharaoh {6547} should have the fifth {2569} [part]; except {7535} the land {127} of the priests {3548} only, (905) [which] became (1961) not (3808) Pharaoh's. {6547}

47:27 ¶ And Israel {3478} dwelt {3427} <8799> in the land {776} of Egypt, {4714} in the country {776} of Goshen; {1657} and they had possessions {270} <8735> therein, and grew, {6509} <8799> and multiplied {7235} <8799> exceedingly. {3966}

47:28 And Jacob {3290} lived {2421} <8799> in the land {776} of Egypt {4714} seventeen {6240} {7651} years: {8141} so the whole age {2416} {3117} (8141) of Jacob {3290} was (1961) an hundred {3967} forty {705} [8141] and seven {7651} years. {8141}

47:29 And the time {3117} drew nigh {7126} <8799> that Israel {3478} must die: {4191} <8800> and he called {7121} <8799> his son {1121} Joseph, {3130} and said {559} <8799> unto him, If (518) now (4994) I have found {4672} <8804> grace {2580} in thy sight, {5869} put, {7760} <8798> I pray thee, (4994) thy hand {3027} under (8478) my thigh, {3409} and deal {6213} <8804> kindly {2617} and truly {571} with (5973) me; bury {6912} <8799> me not, (408) I pray thee, (4994) in Egypt: {4714}

47:30 But I will lie {7901} <8804> with (5973) my fathers, {1} and thou shalt carry {5375} <8804> me out of Egypt, {4714} (4480) and bury {6912} <8804> me in their buryingplace. {6900} And he said, {559} <8799> I (595) will do {6213} <8799> as thou hast said. {1697}

47:31 And he said, {559} <8799> Swear {7650} <8734> unto me. And he sware {7650} <8735> unto him. And Israel {3478} bowed [7812] <8691> himself (7812) upon (5921) the bed's {4296} head. {7218}
