Genesis 47:19 (NET) New English Translation

1 Joseph went and told Pharaoh, "My father, my brothers, their flocks and herds, and all that they own have arrived from the land of Canaan. They are now in the land of Goshen."
2 He took five of his brothers and introduced them to Pharaoh.
3 Pharaoh said to Joseph's brothers, "What is your occupation?" They said to Pharaoh, "Your servants take care of flocks, just as our ancestors did."
4 Then they said to Pharaoh, "We have come to live as temporary residents in the land. There is no pasture for your servants' flocks because the famine is severe in the land of Canaan. So now, please let your servants live in the land of Goshen."
5 Pharaoh said to Joseph, "Your father and your brothers have come to you.
6 The land of Egypt is before you; settle your father and your brothers in the best region of the land. They may live in the land of Goshen. If you know of any highly capable men among them, put them in charge of my livestock."
7 Then Joseph brought in his father Jacob and presented him before Pharaoh. Jacob blessed Pharaoh.
8 Pharaoh said to Jacob, "How long have you lived?"
9 Jacob said to Pharaoh, "All the years of my travels are 130. All the years of my life have been few and painful; the years of my travels are not as long as those of my ancestors."
10 Then Jacob blessed Pharaoh and went out from his presence.
11 So Joseph settled his father and his brothers. He gave them territory in the land of Egypt, in the best region of the land, the land of Rameses, just as Pharaoh had commanded.
12 Joseph also provided food for his father, his brothers, and all his father's household, according to the number of their little children.
13 But there was no food in all the land because the famine was very severe; the land of Egypt and the land of Canaan wasted away because of the famine.
14 Joseph collected all the money that could be found in the land of Egypt and in the land of Canaan as payment for the grain they were buying. Then Joseph brought the money into Pharaoh's palace.
15 When the money from the lands of Egypt and Canaan was used up, all the Egyptians came to Joseph and said, "Give us food! Why should we die before your very eyes because our money has run out?"
16 Then Joseph said, "If your money is gone, bring your livestock, and I will give you food in exchange for your livestock."
17 So they brought their livestock to Joseph, and Joseph gave them food in exchange for their horses, the livestock of their flocks and herds, and their donkeys. He got them through that year by giving them food in exchange for livestock.
18 When that year was over, they came to him the next year and said to him, "We cannot hide from our lord that the money is used up and the livestock and the animals belong to our lord. Nothing remains before our lord except our bodies and our land.
19 Why should we die before your very eyes, both we and our land? Buy us and our land in exchange for food, and we, with our land, will become Pharaoh's slaves. Give us seed that we may live and not die. Then the land will not become desolate."
20 So Joseph bought all the land of Egypt for Pharaoh. Each of the Egyptians sold his field, for the famine was severe. So the land became Pharaoh's.
21 Joseph made all the people slaves from one end of Egypt's border to the other end of it.
22 But he did not purchase the land of the priests because the priests had an allotment from Pharaoh and they ate from their allotment that Pharaoh gave them. That is why they did not sell their land.
23 Joseph said to the people, "Since I have bought you and your land today for Pharaoh, here is seed for you. Cultivate the land.
24 When you gather in the crop, give one-fifth of it to Pharaoh, and the rest will be yours for seed for the fields and for you to eat, including those in your households and your little children."
25 They replied, "You have saved our lives! You are showing us favor, and we will be Pharaoh's slaves."
26 So Joseph made it a statute, which is in effect to this day throughout the land of Egypt: One-fifth belongs to Pharaoh. Only the land of the priests did not become Pharaoh's.
27 Israel settled in the land of Egypt, in the land of Goshen, and they owned land there. They were fruitful and increased rapidly in number.
28 Jacob lived in the land of Egypt seventeen years; the years of Jacob's life were 147 in all.
29 The time for Israel to die approached, so he called for his son Joseph and said to him, "If now I have found favor in your sight, put your hand under my thigh and show me kindness and faithfulness. Do not bury me in Egypt,
30 but when I rest with my fathers, carry me out of Egypt and bury me in their burial place." Joseph said, "I will do as you say."
31 Jacob said, "Swear to me that you will do so." So Joseph gave him his word. Then Israel bowed down at the head of his bed.
1 Then Joseph H3130 came H935 W-VQY3MS and told H5046 W-VHY3MS Pharaoh H6547 , and said H559 W-VQY3MS , My father H1 CMS-1MS and my brethren H251 , and their flocks H6629 , and their herds H1241 , and all H3605 W-CMS that H834 RPRO they have , are come H935 VQQ3MP out of the land H776 M-NFS of Canaan H3667 EMS ; and , behold H2009 , they are in the land H776 B-GFS of Goshen H1657 .

3 And Pharaoh H6547 EMS said H559 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP his brethren H251 NMP-3MS , What H4100 IPRO is your occupation H4639 ? And they said H559 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP Pharaoh H6547 EMS , Thy servants H5650 are shepherds H7462 VQPMS , both H1571 CONJ we H587 PPRO-1MP , and also H1571 CONJ our fathers H1 .
4 They said H559 W-VQY3MP moreover unto H413 PREP Pharaoh H6547 EMS , For to sojourn H1481 L-VQFC in the land H776 B-NFS are we come H935 ; for RPRO thy servants H5650 have no H369 NPAR pasture H4829 for their flocks H6629 ; for H3588 CONJ the famine H7458 D-NMS is sore H3515 AMS in the land H776 B-GFS of Canaan H3667 EMS : now H6258 W-ADV therefore , we pray thee H4994 IJEC , let thy servants H5650 dwell H3427 in the land H776 B-GFS of Goshen H1657 .
5 And Pharaoh H6547 EMS spoke H559 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP Joseph H3130 , saying H559 W-VQY3MS , Thy father H1 NMS and thy brethren H251 are come H935 VQQ3MP unto H413 PREP thee :
6 The land H776 GFS of Egypt H4714 EFS is before H6440 L-CMP-2MS thee ; in the best H4315 of the land H776 D-GFS make thy father H1 NMS and brethren H251 CMP-2MS to dwell H3427 ; in the land H776 B-GFS of Goshen H1657 let them dwell H3427 VQY3MP : and if H518 W-PART thou knowest H3045 VQQ2MS any men H376 CMP of activity H2428 NMS among them , then make H7760 them rulers H8269 CMP over my H5921 PREP cattle H4735 NMS .
7 And Joseph H3130 brought in W-VHY3MS Jacob H3290 his father H1 CMS-3MS , and set H5975 him before H6440 L-CMP Pharaoh H6547 EMS : and Jacob H3290 blessed H1288 W-VNY3MS Pharaoh H6547 EMS .
8 And Pharaoh H6547 EMS said H559 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP Jacob H3290 , How H4100 K-IGAT old H3117 CMP art thou ?
9 And Jacob H3290 said H559 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP Pharaoh H6547 EMS , The days H3117 CMP of the years H8141 of my pilgrimage H4033 are a hundred H3967 W-BFS and thirty H7970 MMP years H8141 NFS : few H4592 AMS and evil H7451 have the days H3117 CMP of the years H8141 of my life H2416 CMS-1MS been H1961 VQQ3MP , and have not H3808 W-NPAR attained unto H5381 the days H3117 CMP of the years H8141 of the life H2416 of my fathers H1 in the days H3117 B-CMP of their pilgrimage H4033 .
10 And Jacob H3290 blessed H1288 W-VNY3MS Pharaoh H6547 EMS , and went out H3318 W-VQY3MS from before H6440 ML-CMP Pharaoh H6547 .
11 And Joseph H3130 placed H3427 his father H1 CMS-3MS and his brethren H251 NMP-3MS , and gave H5414 W-VQQ3MS them a possession H272 in the land H776 B-GFS of Egypt H4714 EFS , in the best H4315 of the land H776 D-GFS , in the land H776 B-GFS of Rameses H7486 , as H834 K-RPRO Pharaoh H6547 had commanded H6680 VPQ3MS .
12 And Joseph H3130 nourished H3557 his father H1 CMS-3MS , and his brethren H251 NMP-3MS , and all H3605 NMS his father H1 CMS-3MS \'s household H1004 CMS , with bread H3899 NMS , according to H6310 L-CMS their families H2945 .
13 And there was no H369 NPAR bread H3899 in all H3605 B-CMS the land H776 D-GFS ; for H3588 CONJ the famine H7458 D-NMS was very H3966 ADV sore H3515 AMS , so that the land H776 GFS of Egypt H4714 EFS and all the land H776 W-NFS of Canaan H3667 LMS fainted H3856 by reason of M-CMP the famine H7458 .
14 And Joseph H3130 gathered up H3950 all H3605 NMS the money H3701 that was found H4672 in the land H776 B-GFS of Egypt H4714 EFS , and in the land H776 of Canaan H3667 LMS , for the corn H7668 which H834 RPRO they H1992 PPRO-3MP bought H7666 : and Joseph H3130 brought H935 W-VHY3MS the money H3701 into Pharaoh H6547 \'s house H1004 .
15 And when money H3701 failed H8552 in the land H776 M-NFS of Egypt H4714 EFS , and in the land H776 of Canaan H3667 LMS , all H3605 CMS the Egyptians H4714 EFS came H935 W-VQY3MP unto H413 PREP Joseph H3130 , and said H559 L-VQFC , Give H3051 us bread H3899 NMS : for why H4100 WL-IGAT should we die H4191 in thy presence H5048 ? for H3588 CONJ the money H3701 NMS faileth H656 .
16 And Joseph H3130 said H559 W-VQY3MS , Give H3051 VQI2MP your cattle H4735 ; and I will give H5414 you for your cattle H4735 , if H518 PART money H3701 NMS fail H656 .
17 And they brought H935 their cattle H4735 unto H413 PREP Joseph H3130 : and Joseph H3130 gave H5414 W-VQQ3MS them bread H3899 NMS in exchange for horses H5483 , and for the flocks H4735 , and for the cattle H4735 of the herds H1241 D-NMS , and for the asses H2543 : and he fed H5095 them with bread H3899 for all H3605 B-CMS their cattle H4735 for that H1931 year H8141 .
18 When that H1931 D-PPRO-3FS year H8141 was ended H8552 , they came H935 W-VQY3MP unto H413 PREP-3MS him the second H8145 D-ONUM year H8141 , and said H559 W-VQY3MP unto him , We will not H3808 ADV hide H3582 it from H4480 my lord H113 , how that PART our money H3701 is spent H8552 ; my lord H113 also hath H413 PREP our herds H4735 of cattle H929 D-NFS ; there is not H3808 NADV aught left H7604 VNQ3MS in the sight H6440 L-CMP of my lord H113 , but H1115 PREP our bodies H1472 , and our lands H127 :
19 Wherefore H4100 L-IPRO shall we die H4191 before thine eyes H5869 , both H1571 CONJ we H587 PPRO-1MP and H1571 CONJ our land H127 ? buy H7069 us and our land H127 for bread H3899 , and we H587 PPRO-1MP and our land H127 will be H1961 servants H5650 NMP unto Pharaoh H6547 : and give H5414 us seed H2233 NMS , that we may live H2421 , and not H3808 W-NPAR die H4191 , that the land H127 be not desolate H3456 .
20 And Joseph H3130 bought H7069 all H3605 NMS the land H127 of Egypt H4714 EFS for Pharaoh H6547 ; for H3588 CONJ the Egyptians H4714 EFS sold H4376 every man H376 his field H7704 , because H3588 CONJ the famine H7458 D-NMS prevailed H2388 over H5921 them : so the land H776 D-GFS became H1961 W-VQY3FS Pharaoh H6547 \'s .
21 And as for the people H5971 , he removed H5674 them to cities H5892 from one end H7097 M-CMS of the borders H1366 of Egypt H4714 EFS even to H5704 W-PREP the other end H7097 thereof .
22 Only H7535 ADV the land H127 of the priests H3548 bought H7069 he not H3808 NADV ; for H3588 CONJ the priests H3548 had a portion H2706 NMS assigned them of Pharaoh H6547 EMS , and did eat H398 their portion H2706 which H834 RPRO Pharaoh H6547 EMS gave H5414 VQQ3MS them : wherefore H3651 ADV they sold H4376 not H3808 NADV their lands H127 .
23 Then Joseph H3130 said H559 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP the people H5971 , Behold H2005 IJEC , I have bought H7069 VQQ1MS you this day H3117 D-AMS and your land H127 for Pharaoh H6547 : lo H1887 , here is seed H2233 NMS for you , and ye shall sow H2232 the land H127 D-NFS .
24 And it shall come to pass H1961 W-VQQ3MS in the increase H8393 , that ye shall give H5414 the fifth H2549 part unto Pharaoh H6547 , and four H702 W-BFS parts H3027 shall be H1961 W-VQQ3MS your own , for seed H2233 of the field H7704 D-NMS , and for your food H400 , and for them H834 of your households H1004 , and for food H398 for your little ones H2945 .
25 And they said H559 W-VQY3MP , Thou hast saved our lives H2421 : let us find H4672 VNQ3MS grace H2580 NMS in the sight H5869 B-CMP of my lord H113 , and we will be H1961 Pharaoh H6547 \'s servants H5650 NMP .
26 And Joseph H3130 made H7760 W-VQY3MS it a law H2706 over H5921 PREP the land H127 of Egypt H4714 EFS unto H5704 PREP this H2088 D-PMS day H3117 D-AMS , that Pharaoh H6547 should have the fifth H2569 part ; except H7535 ADV the land H127 of the priests H3548 only H905 L-CMS-3MP , which became H1961 VQQ3FS not H3808 NADV Pharaoh H6547 \'s .
27 And Israel H3478 dwelt H3427 W-VQY3MS in the land H776 B-GFS of Egypt H4714 EFS , in the country H776 B-GFS of Goshen H1657 ; and they had possessions H270 therein , and grew H6509 , and multiplied H7235 W-VQY3MP exceedingly H3966 ADV .
28 And Jacob H3290 lived H2421 W-VQY3MS in the land H776 B-GFS of Egypt H4714 EFS seventeen H7651 years H8141 NFS : so the whole age H3117 of Jacob H3290 was H1961 W-VQY3MS a hundred H3967 W-BFS forty H705 W-MMP and seven H7651 MFS years H8141 .
29 And the time H3117 drew nigh H7126 that Israel H3478 must die H4191 L-VQFC : and he called H7121 W-VQY3MS his son H1121 Joseph H3130 , and said H559 W-VQY3MS unto him , If H518 PART now H4994 IJEC I have found H4672 VQQ1MS grace H2580 NMS in thy sight H5869 , put H7760 , I pray thee H4994 IJEC , thy hand H3027 CFS-2MS under H8478 NMS my thigh H3409 , and deal H6213 kindly H2617 NMS and truly H571 with H5973 me ; bury H6912 me not H408 NPAR , I pray thee H4994 IJEC , in Egypt H4714 :
30 But I will lie H7901 with H5973 PREP my fathers H1 , and thou shalt carry H5375 me out of Egypt H4714 M-TFS , and bury H6912 me in their burial place H6900 . And he said H559 W-VQY3MS , I H595 PPRO-1MS will do H6213 VQY1MS as thou hast said H1697 .
31 And he said H559 W-VQY3MS , Swear H7650 unto me . And he swore H7650 unto him . And Israel H3478 bowed himself H7812 upon H5921 PREP the bed H4296 \'s head H7218 NMS .
