And they said unto Pharaoh Par #oh #, Thy servants are shepherds ra # tso #n #, both we , and also our fathers . * They said moreover unto Pharaoh Par #oh #, For to sojourn in the land are we come ; for thy servants have no pasture for their flocks tso #n #; for the famine is sore in the land of Canaan K @na #an #: now therefore , we pray thee , let thy servants dwell in the land of Goshen . * And Pharaoh spake unto Joseph , saying , Thy father and thy brethren are come unto thee : * 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 . * And Joseph brought in Jacob his father , and set him before Pharaoh Par #oh #: and Jacob blessed Pharaoh Par #oh #. * And Pharaoh said unto Jacob Ya #aqob #, How old chay # yowm # art thou ? * And Jacob said unto Pharaoh Par #oh #, 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 . * And Jacob blessed Pharaoh Par #oh #, and went out from before Pharaoh Par #oh #.
