RF GEN 47:1 Joseph accordingly went and reported to Pharaoh, and said, "My father and brothers, and their sheep and cattle, and all that they have, are come from the land of Canaan, and are in the land of Goshen."
RF GEN 47:2 Then he selected five from his brothers to take and present to Pharaoh,
RF GEN 47:3 and Pharaoh asked his brothers, "What is your business?" When they replied to Pharaoh, "Your slaves are shepherds of sheep,—as we are, so were our fathers."
RF GEN 47:4 They also said to Pharaoh, "We have come to reside in the land, for there is no pasture for your slaves' sheep, because the famine is heavy in the land of Canaan, so allow your slaves to live in the land of Goshen."
RF GEN 47:5 Pharaoh therefore in reply said to Joseph, "Your father and your brothers have come to you;
RF GEN 47:6 the land of the Mitzeraim is before you, so fix your father and brothers on the best of it. Let them settle in the land of Goshen, and if you know also a skilful man amongst them, appoint him superintendent of my farms."
RF GEN 47:7 Joseph afterwards took Jacob his father and presented him before Pharaoh, and Jacob blessed Pharaoh;
RF GEN 47:8 and Pharaoh asked Jacob, "How many are the days of the years of your life?"
RF GEN 47:9 When Jacob replied to Pharaoh; "The days of the years of my stay have been one hundred and thirty years. Few and evil have been the years of the days of my life! and they have not reached to the days of the years my fathers lived in the days of their stay."
RF GEN 47:10 Then Jacob blessed Pharaoh, and retired from the presence of Pharaoh.
RF GEN 47:11 Joseph afterwards settled his father and his brothers, and gave them possession in the land of the Mitzeraim in the best district in the country of Ramases, as he was commanded.
RF GEN 47:12 Joseph also provided food for his father and brothers, and all their families, according to their children.
RF GEN 47:13 History of Egypt's Famine continued.
Bread failed in all the country, for the famine was very severe, and the land of the Mitzeraim and the land of Canaan fainted before the famine,
RF GEN 47:14 therefore Joseph gathered up all the money he found in the land of Mitzer, and in the land of Canaan;
and all the Mitzerites came to Joseph for the corn which they bought, and Joseph brought the money to the treasury of Pharaoh.
RF GEN 47:15 Thus he collected the money from the land of Mitzeraim and the land of Canaan. Then all the Mitzerites came to Joseph to say; "Provide bread for us, so that we may not die before you, for our money is exhausted."
RF GEN 47:16 Joseph, however, answered them; "Bring your cattle, and I will give you it for your cattle, instead of for money."
RF GEN 47:17 Consequently they brought their cattle to Joseph and he gave them bread, for horses and cattle and sheep; for herds of oxen and asses he supplied them with bread, in exchange for all their cattle for that year.
RF GEN 47:18 But that year ended; so they came to him in the next year, and said to him; "We have kept back nothing from my lord: We have nothing left before my lord, except our bodies, and our land.
RF GEN 47:19 Why should we ourselves die before your eyes? Buy to yourself our land for bread, and we and our land will be slaves to Pharaoh."
RF GEN 47:20 Thus the Mitzerites sold every one his farm, for the famine was cruel upon them;—and the land became Pharoh's.
RF GEN 47:21 But he transferred the people upon it to fresh villages, from the one extreme boundary of Mitzer to the other extreme of it;
RF GEN 47:22 except that he did not buy the lands of the priesthood, for he protected the priesthood by laws from Pharaoh, and they were fed from rations provided for them; therefore he did not buy their lands.
RF GEN 47:23 Then Joseph proclaimed to the nation, "You see I have bought you to-day, and your land for Pharaoh. I will supply seed to you, and you can sow the land.
RF GEN 47:24 But of its produce you shall give one-fifth to Pharaoh, and four-fifths shall be for yourselves, to sow the fields and to feed you, with those you employ, and as food for your children."
RF GEN 47:25 They thereupon replied, "Our lives have found favour in the eyes of my lord, and we will be slaves of Pharaoh."
RF GEN 47:26 So Joseph made it the constitution to this day;—that the land of the Mitzerites was Pharoh's for the fifth tax, except the lands of the priesthood, which were not to become Pharoh's.
RF GEN 47:27 Joseph also settled Israel in the land of the Mitzeraim in the district of Goshen, and they possessed there, and flourished, and increased greatly.
RF GEN 47:28 The Sickness and the Death of Jacob.
Jacob, however, lived seventeen years in the land of the Mitzeraim, and all the days of the years of Jacob were one hundred and forty-seven years.
RF GEN 47:29 But the day approached for Israel to die, and he called his son Joseph to him, and said to him, "If now I have found favour in your eyes, put your hand under my thigh, and do to me a true kindness, and bury me not among the Mitzeraim,
RF GEN 47:30 but lay me to sleep with my fathers, and carry me from Mitzer, and bury me in their burial place." And he replied, "I will do as you have said."
RF GEN 47:31 But he answered, "Swear to me;" and Israel was reclining on the surface of his bed.
