Genesis 47:10 (NLT) New Living Translation

1 Then Joseph went to see Pharaoh and told him, "My father and my brothers have arrived from the land of Canaan. They have come with all their flocks and herds and possessions, and they are now in the region of Goshen."
2 Joseph took five of his brothers with him and presented them to Pharaoh.
3 And Pharaoh asked the brothers, "What is your occupation?" They replied, "We, your servants, are shepherds, just like our ancestors.
4 We have come to live here in Egypt for a while, for there is no pasture for our flocks in Canaan. The famine is very severe there. So please, we request permission to live in the region of Goshen."
5 Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, "Now that your father and brothers have joined you here,
6 choose any place in the entire land of Egypt for them to live. Give them the best land of Egypt. Let them live in the region of Goshen. And if any of them have special skills, put them in charge of my livestock, too."
7 Then Joseph brought in his father, Jacob, and presented him to Pharaoh. And Jacob blessed Pharaoh.
8 "How old are you?" Pharaoh asked him.
9 Jacob replied, "I have traveled this earth for 130 hard years. But my life has been short compared to the lives of my ancestors."
10 Then Jacob blessed Pharaoh again before leaving his court.
11 So Joseph assigned the best land of Egypt-- the region of Rameses-- to his father and his brothers, and he settled them there, just as Pharaoh had commanded.
12 And Joseph provided food for his father and his brothers in amounts appropriate to the number of their dependents, including the smallest children.
13 Meanwhile, the famine became so severe that all the food was used up, and people were starving throughout the lands of Egypt and Canaan.
14 By selling grain to the people, Joseph eventually collected all the money in Egypt and Canaan, and he put the money in Pharaoh's treasury.
15 When the people of Egypt and Canaan ran out of money, all the Egyptians came to Joseph. "Our money is gone!" they cried. "But please give us food, or we will die before your very eyes!"
16 Joseph replied, "Since your money is gone, bring me your livestock. I will give you food in exchange for your livestock."
17 So they brought their livestock to Joseph in exchange for food. In exchange for their horses, flocks of sheep and goats, herds of cattle, and donkeys, Joseph provided them with food for another year.
18 But that year ended, and the next year they came again and said, "We cannot hide the truth from you, my lord. Our money is gone, and all our livestock and cattle are yours. We have nothing left to give but our bodies and our land.
19 Why should we die before your very eyes? Buy us and our land in exchange for food; we offer our land and ourselves as slaves for Pharaoh. Just give us grain so we may live and not die, and so the land does not become empty and desolate."
20 So Joseph bought all the land of Egypt for Pharaoh. All the Egyptians sold him their fields because the famine was so severe, and soon all the land belonged to Pharaoh.
21 As for the people, he made them all slaves, from one end of Egypt to the other.
22 The only land he did not buy was the land belonging to the priests. They received an allotment of food directly from Pharaoh, so they didn't need to sell their land.
23 Then Joseph said to the people, "Look, today I have bought you and your land for Pharaoh. I will provide you with seed so you can plant the fields.
24 Then when you harvest it, one-fifth of your crop will belong to Pharaoh. You may keep the remaining four-fifths as seed for your fields and as food for you, your households, and your little ones."
25 "You have saved our lives!" they exclaimed. "May it please you, my lord, to let us be Pharaoh's servants."
26 Joseph then issued a decree still in effect in the land of Egypt, that Pharaoh should receive one-fifth of all the crops grown on his land. Only the land belonging to the priests was not given to Pharaoh.
27 Meanwhile, the people of Israel settled in the region of Goshen in Egypt. There they acquired property, and they were fruitful, and their population grew rapidly.
28 Jacob lived for seventeen years after his arrival in Egypt, so he lived 147 years in all.
29 As the time of his death drew near, Jacob called for his son Joseph and said to him, "Please do me this favor. Put your hand under my thigh and swear that you will treat me with unfailing love by honoring this last request: Do not bury me in Egypt.
30 When I die, please take my body out of Egypt and bury me with my ancestors." So Joseph promised, "I will do as you ask."
31 "Swear that you will do it," Jacob insisted. So Joseph gave his oath, and Jacob bowed humbly at the head of his bed.
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 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 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 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 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 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 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 H6547 said H559 unto H413 Jacob, H3290 How H4100 old H3117 H8141 H2416 art thou?
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 And Jacob H3290 blessed H1288 H853 Pharaoh, H6547 and went out H3318 from before H4480 H6440 Pharaoh. H6547
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 And Joseph H3130 nourished H3557 H853 his father, H1 and his brethren, H251 and all H3605 his father's H1 household, H1004 with bread, H3899 according to H6310 their families. H2945
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 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's H6547 house. H1004
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 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 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 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 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 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's H6547.
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 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 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 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 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's H6547 servants. H5650
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's H6547.
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 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 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 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 And he said, H559 Swear H7650 unto me . And he swore H7650 unto him . And Israel H3478 bowed himself H7812 upon H5921 the bed's H4296 head. H7218
