1. Then Joseph went to Pharaoh and said, "My father and my brothers and their flocks and cattle and all they own have come from the land of Canaan. See, they are in the land of Goshen."
|
1. Then Joseph H3130 came H935 and told H5046 Pharaoh H6547 , and said H559 , My father H1 and my brethren H251 , and their flocks H6629 , and their herds H1241 , and all H3605 that H834 they have , are come H935 out of the land H4480 H776 of Canaan H3667 ; and, behold H2009 , they are in the land H776 of Goshen H1657 .
|
|
2. He took five men from among his brothers, and brought them to Pharaoh.
|
2. And he took H3947 some H4480 H7097 of his brethren H251 , even five H2568 men H376 , and presented H3322 them unto H6440 Pharaoh H6547 .
|
|
3. Then Pharaoh said to his brothers, "What is your work?" So they said to Pharaoh, "Your servants are shepherds, both we and our fathers."
|
3. And Pharaoh H6547 said H559 unto H413 his brethren H251 , What H4100 is your occupation H4639 ? And they said H559 unto H413 Pharaoh H6547 , Thy servants H5650 are shepherds H7462 H6629 , both H1571 we H587 , and also H1571 our fathers H1 .
|
|
4. They said to Pharaoh, "We have come to live in the land, for there is no field with food for our flocks. The time without food is hard in the land of Canaan. So now we ask of you, let your servants live in the land of Goshen."
|
4. They said H559 moreover unto H413 Pharaoh H6547 , For to sojourn H1481 in the land H776 are we come H935 ; for H3588 H834 thy servants H5650 have no H369 pasture H4829 for their flocks H6629 ; for H3588 the famine H7458 is sore H3515 in the land H776 of Canaan H3667 : now H6258 therefore , we pray thee H4994 , let thy servants H5650 dwell H3427 in the land H776 of Goshen H1657 .
|
|
5. Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, "Your father and your brothers have come to you.
|
5. And Pharaoh H6547 spoke H559 unto H413 Joseph H3130 , saying H559 , Thy father H1 and thy brethren H251 are come H935 unto H413 thee:
|
|
6. The land of Egypt is in front of you. Have your father and your brothers live in the best of the land. Let them live in the land of Goshen. And if you know any able men among them, put my cattle in their care."
|
6. The land H776 of Egypt H4714 is before H6440 thee ; in the best H4315 of the land H776 make H853 thy father H1 and brethren H251 to dwell H3427 ; in the land H776 of Goshen H1657 let them dwell H3427 : and if H518 thou knowest H3045 any men H376 of activity H2428 among them , then make H7760 them rulers H8269 over my H5921 H834 cattle H4735 .
|
|
7. Then Joseph brought his father Jacob to Pharaoh. Jacob prayed that good would come to Pharaoh.
|
7. And Joseph H3130 brought in H935 H853 Jacob H3290 his father H1 , and set H5975 him before H6440 Pharaoh H6547 : and Jacob H3290 blessed H1288 H853 Pharaoh H6547 .
|
|
8. And Pharaoh said to Jacob, "How old are you?"
|
8. And Pharaoh H6547 said H559 unto H413 Jacob H3290 , How H4100 old H3117 H8141 H2416 art thou?
|
|
9. Jacob answered Pharaoh, "I have traveled on this earth for 130 years. The years of my life have been few and full of sorrow, and less than the years that my fathers lived."
|
9. And Jacob H3290 said H559 unto H413 Pharaoh H6547 , The days H3117 of the years H8141 of my pilgrimage H4033 are a 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 H1961 , and have not H3808 attained unto H5381 H853 the days H3117 of the years H8141 of the life H2416 of my fathers H1 in the days H3117 of their pilgrimage H4033 .
|
|
10. Then Jacob prayed that good would come to Pharaoh, and went away from him.
|
10. And Jacob H3290 blessed H1288 H853 Pharaoh H6547 , and went out H3318 from before H4480 H6440 Pharaoh H6547 .
|
|
11. So Joseph made a place for his father and his brothers. He gave them a part of the land of Egypt, in the best of the land, in the land of Rameses, as Pharaoh had told him.
|
11. And Joseph H3130 placed H3427 H853 his father H1 and his brethren H251 , and gave H5414 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 H834 Pharaoh H6547 had commanded H6680 .
|
|
12. Joseph gave food to his father and his brothers and all his father's family, for the needs of their children.
|
12. And Joseph H3130 nourished H3557 H853 his father H1 , and his brethren H251 , and all H3605 his father H1 's household H1004 , with bread H3899 , according to H6310 their families H2945 .
|
|
13. Now there was no food in the land for the time without food was very hard. So the people in the land of both Egypt and Canaan became weak because of hunger.
|
13. And there was no H369 bread H3899 in all H3605 the land H776 ; for H3588 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 by reason of H4480 H6440 the famine H7458 .
|
|
14. So Joseph gathered all the money that was found in Egypt and Canaan for the grain they bought. And Joseph brought the money into Pharaoh's house.
|
14. And Joseph H3130 gathered up H3950 H853 all H3605 the money H3701 that was found H4672 in the land H776 of Egypt H4714 , and in the land H776 of Canaan H3667 , for the corn H7668 which H834 they H1992 bought H7666 : and Joseph H3130 brought H935 H853 the money H3701 into Pharaoh H6547 's house H1004 .
|
|
15. When the money was gone from the lands of Egypt and Canaan, all the Egyptians came to Joseph and said, "Give us food! Why should we die in front of you? For we have no more money."
|
15. And when money H3701 failed H8552 in the land H4480 H776 of Egypt H4714 , and in the land H4480 H776 of Canaan H3667 , all H3605 the Egyptians H4714 came H935 unto H413 Joseph H3130 , and said H559 , Give H3051 us bread H3899 : for why H4100 should we die H4191 in thy presence H5048 ? for H3588 the money H3701 faileth H656 .
|
|
16. Then Joseph said, "Give your cat-tle. I will give you food in trade for your cattle, because your money is gone."
|
16. And Joseph H3130 said H559 , Give H3051 your cattle H4735 ; and I will give H5414 you for your cattle H4735 , if H518 money H3701 fail H656 .
|
|
17. So they brought their animals to Joseph. And Joseph gave them food in trade for the horses and flocks and cattle and donkeys. He fed them that year in trade for their animals.
|
17. And they brought H935 H853 their cattle H4735 unto H413 Joseph H3130 : and Joseph H3130 gave H5414 them bread H3899 in exchange for horses H5483 , and for the flocks H4735 H6629 , and for the cattle H4735 of the herds H1241 , and for the asses H2543 : and he fed H5095 them with bread H3899 for all H3605 their cattle H4735 for that H1931 year H8141 .
|
|
18. When that year ended, they came to him the next year. They said, "We will not hide from my lord that our money is all gone. And the cattle belong to my lord. There is nothing left for our lord except our bodies and our lands.
|
18. When that H1931 year H8141 was ended H8552 , they came H935 unto H413 him the second H8145 year H8141 , and said H559 unto him , We will not H3808 hide H3582 it from H4480 my lord H113 , how that H3588 H518 our money H3701 is spent H8552 ; my lord H113 also hath H413 our herds H4735 of cattle H929 ; there is not H3808 aught left H7604 in the sight H6440 of my lord H113 , but H1115 H518 our bodies H1472 , and our lands H127 :
|
|
19. Why should we die in front of you and our lands be wasted? Buy us and our land in trade for food. We and our land will work for Pharaoh. Give us seed, so that we may live and not die, and so the land will not be wasted."
|
19. Wherefore H4100 shall we die H4191 before thine eyes H5869 , both H1571 we H587 and H1571 our land H127 ? buy H7069 us and our land H127 for bread H3899 , and we H587 and our land H127 will be H1961 servants H5650 unto Pharaoh H6547 : and give H5414 us seed H2233 , that we may live H2421 , and not H3808 die H4191 , that the land H127 be not desolate H3456 H3808 .
|
|
20. So Joseph bought all the land of Egypt for Pharaoh. For every Egyptian sold his field, because the time without food was hard for them. So the land became Pharaoh's.
|
20. And Joseph H3130 bought H7069 H853 all H3605 the land H127 of Egypt H4714 for Pharaoh H6547 ; for H3588 the Egyptians H4714 sold H4376 every man H376 his field H7704 , because H3588 the famine H7458 prevailed H2388 over H5921 them : so the land H776 became H1961 Pharaoh H6547 's.
|
|
21. He had the people move to the cities from one end of Egypt to the other, to work for Pharaoh.
|
21. And as for the people H5971 , he removed H5674 them to cities H5892 from one end H4480 H7097 of the borders H1366 of Egypt H4714 even to H5704 the other end H7097 thereof.
|
|
22. Only the land of the religious leaders he did not buy. For the religious leaders received money from Pharaoh. They lived on the money Pharaoh gave them. So they did not sell their land.
|
22. Only H7535 the land H127 of the priests H3548 bought H7069 he not H3808 ; for H3588 the priests H3548 had a portion H2706 assigned them of H4480 H854 Pharaoh H6547 , and did eat H398 H853 their portion H2706 which H834 Pharaoh H6547 gave H5414 them: wherefore H5921 H3651 they sold H4376 not H3808 H853 their lands H127 .
|
|
23. Then Joseph said to the people, "See, today I have bought you and your land for Pharaoh. Now here is seed for you to plant in the fields.
|
23. Then Joseph H3130 said H559 unto H413 the people H5971 , Behold H2005 , I have bought H7069 you this day H3117 and your land H127 for Pharaoh H6547 : lo H1887 , here is seed H2233 for you , and ye shall sow H2232 H853 the land H127 .
|
|
24. At gathering time, you must give a fifth part to Pharaoh. Keep the rest to have seeds for the field, and to feed yourselves and your children and those of your houses."
|
24. And it shall come to pass H1961 in the increase H8393 , that ye shall give H5414 the fifth H2549 part unto Pharaoh H6547 , and four H702 parts H3027 shall be H1961 your own , for seed H2233 of the field H7704 , and for your food H400 , and for them H834 of your households H1004 , and for food H398 for your little ones H2945 .
|
|
25. So they said, "You have saved our lives! Let us find favor in the eyes of my lord. We will be Pharaoh's servants."
|
25. And they said H559 , Thou hast saved our lives H2421 : let us find H4672 grace H2580 in the sight H5869 of my lord H113 , and we will be H1961 Pharaoh H6547 's servants H5650 .
|
|
26. Joseph made it a law in the land of Egypt that Pharaoh should have the fifth part. It is a law to this day. Only the land of the religious leaders did not become Pharaoh's.
|
26. And Joseph H3130 made H7760 it a law H2706 over H5921 the land H127 of Egypt H4714 unto H5704 this H2088 day H3117 , that Pharaoh H6547 should have the fifth H2569 part ; except H7535 the land H127 of the priests H3548 only H905 , which became H1961 not H3808 Pharaoh H6547 's.
|
|
27. Now Israel lived in the land of Egypt, in Goshen. They became richer there, and had children, and grew to a very large number.
|
27. And Israel H3478 dwelt H3427 in the land H776 of Egypt H4714 , in the country H776 of Goshen H1657 ; and they had possessions H270 therein , and grew H6509 , and multiplied H7235 exceedingly H3966 .
|
|
28. Jacob lived in the land of Egypt seventeen years. So Jacob had lived 147 years in all.
|
28. And Jacob H3290 lived H2421 in the land H776 of Egypt H4714 seventeen H7651 H6240 years H8141 : so the whole age H3117 H8141 H2416 of Jacob H3290 was H1961 a hundred H3967 forty H705 and seven H7651 years H8141 .
|
|
29. When the time came for Israel to die, he called his son Joseph. He said to him, "If I have found favor in your eyes, give me your promise to be kind and faithful to me. I ask of you, do not bury me in Egypt.
|
29. And the time H3117 drew nigh H7126 that Israel H3478 must die H4191 : and he called H7121 his son H1121 Joseph H3130 , and said H559 unto him, If H518 now H4994 I have found H4672 grace H2580 in thy sight H5869 , put H7760 , I pray thee H4994 , thy hand H3027 under H8478 my thigh H3409 , and deal H6213 kindly H2617 and truly H571 with H5973 me; bury H6912 me not H408 , I pray thee H4994 , in Egypt H4714 :
|
|
30. But let me lie down with my fathers. Carry me out of Egypt and bury me where they are buried." And Joseph said, "I will do as you have said."
|
30. But I will lie H7901 with H5973 my fathers H1 , and thou shalt carry H5375 me out of Egypt H4480 H4714 , and bury H6912 me in their burial place H6900 . And he said H559 , I H595 will do H6213 as thou hast said H1697 .
|
|
31. Jacob said, "Promise me." So Joseph gave him his promise. Then Israel bowed in worship at the head of the bed.
|
31. And he said H559 , Swear H7650 unto me . And he swore H7650 unto him . And Israel H3478 bowed himself H7812 upon H5921 the bed H4296 's head H7218 .
