Then Joseph came and told Pharaoh Par #
oh #,
and said ,
My father and my brethren ,
and their flocks tso #
n #,
and their herds ,
and all that they have ,
are come out of the land of Canaan K @
na #
an #;
and ,
behold ,
they are in the land of Goshen .
*
And he took some of his brethren ,
even five men ,
and presented them unto Pharaoh Par #
oh #.
*
And Pharaoh said unto his brethren ,
What is your occupation ma #
aseh #?
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 #.
*
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 Ra #
m @
cec #,
as Pharaoh had commanded .
*
And Joseph nourished his father ,
and his brethren ,
and all his fathers household ,
with bread ,
according to their families .
*
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 ra #
ab #.
*
And Joseph gathered up all the money that was found in the land of Egypt ,
and in the land of Canaan K @
na #
an #,
for the corn which they bought :
and Joseph brought the money into Pharaohs house .
*
And when money failed in the land of Egypt ,
and in the land of Canaan K @
na #
an #,
all the Egyptians came unto Joseph ,
and said ,
Give us bread :
for why should we die in thy presence ?
for the money faileth .
*
And Joseph said ,
Give your cattle ;
and I will give you for your cattle ,
if money fail .
*
And they brought their cattle unto Joseph :
and Joseph gave them bread in exchange for horses ,
and for the flocks tso #
n #,
and for the cattle of the herds ,
and for the asses :
and he fed them with bread for all their cattle for that year .
*
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 :
*
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 Par #
oh #:
and give us seed ,
that we may live ,
and not die ,
that the land be not desolate .
*
And Joseph bought all the land of Egypt for Pharaoh Par #
oh #;
for the Egyptians sold every man his field ,
because the famine prevailed over them :
so the land became Pharaohs Par #
oh #.
*
And as for the people ,
he removed them to cities from one end of the borders of Egypt even to the other end thereof .
