Young's Literal Translation
So
Joseph went
and told
Pharaoh :
“
My father and my brothers
, with
their flocks
and herds
and all they own
, have come from the land of Canaan and are now
in Goshen. ”
And
Joseph cometh,
and declareth
to
Pharaoh ,
and
saith,
`
My father ,
and my brethren
, and
their flock,
and their
herd,
and all they have
, have come from the land of Canaan ,
and lo,
they
`
are '
in the
land
of
Goshen. '
And he
chose
five
of his brothers
and presented
them before Pharaoh .
And out
of his brethren
he
hath
taken
five
men,
and setteth
them before Pharaoh ;
“
What is
your occupation
? ”
Pharaoh asked
Joseph’s
brothers.
“Your
servants are shepherds,”
they
replied
, “
both we and our fathers .”
and
Pharaoh
saith
unto
his
brethren,
`
What `are'
your works
? '
and
they
say
unto
Pharaoh ,
`Thy
servants `
are '
feeders
of
a
flock
, both we and our fathers ;'
Then
they said
to
Pharaoh, “We
have
come
to live
in the land for
a
time
, because
there is no pasture for the flocks
of
your
servants, since
the famine in the land of Canaan has
been
severe.
So
now, please
allow
your
servants to
settle
in the land of Goshen. ”
and
they say
unto
Pharaoh, `
To sojourn
in the land we
have
come
, for
there is no pasture for the flock
which
thy
servants have
, for
grievous
`is'
the famine in the land of Canaan ;
and
now, let
thy
servants ,
we
pray
thee,
dwell
in the land of Goshen. '
Pharaoh said
to
Joseph, “Now
that
your
father and brothers
have come to
you,
And
Pharaoh speaketh
unto
Joseph, saying,
`Thy
father and thy
brethren
have come unto
thee:
the land of Egypt is before you
; settle
your
father
and
brothers
in the best part
of the land .
They may
dwell in the land of Goshen .
And if you
know
of
any
talented
men
among them, put
them in
charge
of
my
own
livestock
. ”
the land of Egypt is before thee
; in the best of the land cause
thy
father
and
thy
brethren
to
dwell
--
they dwell in the land of Goshen ,
and if thou
hast
known,
and
there
are
among them men
of
ability
, then
thou
hast
set
them heads
over
the
cattle
I
have
. '
Then
Joseph brought
in his father Jacob
and presented
him before Pharaoh ,
and Jacob blessed
Pharaoh.
And
Joseph bringeth
in Jacob
his father ,
and causeth
him to
stand
before Pharaoh ;
and Jacob blesseth
Pharaoh.
“
How many years have
you
lived
? ”
Pharaoh
asked.
And
Pharaoh
saith
unto
Jacob,
`
How many `are'
the
days
of
the
years of
thy
life
? '
“My
travels
have
lasted
130
years,”
Jacob replied.
“
My years have
been
few and hard
, and they have not matched
the years of the travels
of my fathers. ”
And
Jacob saith
unto
Pharaoh,
`The
days
of
the
years
of
my sojournings
`are'
an
hundred
and
thirty
years ;
few and evil
have
been
the
days
of
the
years
of
my
life
, and they have not reached
the days
of
the
years of the life
of my fathers ,
in
the
days
of
their
sojournings
. '
Then
Jacob blessed
Pharaoh and departed
from his
presence
.
And
Jacob blesseth
Pharaoh ,
and goeth
out
from before
Pharaoh
.
So
Joseph settled
his father and brothers
in the land of Egypt and
gave
them
property
in the best part
of the land, the district
of Rameses, as Pharaoh had
commanded .
And
Joseph settleth
his father and his
brethren,
and
giveth
to
them
a
possession
in the land of Egypt ,
in the best of the land, in
the land
of Rameses, as Pharaoh commanded ;
Joseph also
provided
his father and brothers
and all his father’s
household
with food
for
their
families
.
and
Joseph nourisheth
his father ,
and his
brethren,
and all the
house
of
his father
`
with '
bread,
according
to
the
mouth
of
the
infants
.
There was
no food,
however,
in all that
region
, because
the famine was
so
severe;
the lands
of Egypt and Canaan had
been
exhausted
by
the famine .
And
there is
no bread
in all the
land
, for
the famine `is'
very
grievous,
and
the land
of Egypt and the
land
of
Canaan are
feeble
because
of
the famine ;
Joseph collected
all the money
to
be
found in the land of Egypt and the land of Canaan in
exchange
for the grain
they were
buying, and he
brought
it
into Pharaoh’s
palace
.
and
Joseph gathereth
all the silver
that
is
found in the land of Egypt ,
and in
the land of Canaan ,
for the corn
that
they are
buying, and Joseph
bringeth
the
silver
into the
house
of
Pharaoh
.
When
the money
from
the lands
of Egypt and Canaan was
gone
, all the Egyptians came
to
Joseph and
said
, “
Give us food.
Why should
we die before your
eyes
? For
our
funds
have
run
out!”
And
the silver
is
consumed
out
of
the land
of Egypt ,
and out
of
the
land
of
Canaan, and
all the Egyptians come
in
unto
Joseph, saying,
`
Give to
us bread
--
why do
we die before thee,
though
the
money
hath
ceased
? '
“Then
bring
me
your
livestock,”
said
Joseph .
“Since
the
money
is
gone
, I will
sell
you food
in
exchange
for your livestock
. ”
and
Joseph saith
, `Give
your
cattle;
and
I give
to
you for your cattle,
if
the
money
hath
ceased
. '
So
they brought
their livestock
to
Joseph, and he
gave
them food
in
exchange
for their
horses, their
flocks
and herds
, and their
donkeys.
Throughout
that
year
he provided
them with food
in
exchange
for all their livestock
.
And
they bring
in
their cattle
unto
Joseph, and Joseph
giveth
to
them bread,
for the
horses, and for
the
cattle
of
the
flock
, and for
the
cattle
of
the
herd,
and
for
the
asses;
and
he tendeth
them with bread,
for all their cattle,
during
that
year
.
When
that year was
over
, they came
to
him the second year and said
, “
We cannot
hide from our
lord that our
money is
gone
and all
our
livestock
belongs
to
you.
There
is nothing
left for
our
lord except
our bodies and our land.
And
that year is
finished
, and
they come
in
unto
him on
the second year ,
and say
to
him
, `
We do
not
hide from my
lord ,
that since
the
money hath
been
finished,
and possession
of
the
cattle
`
is '
unto
my
lord,
there
hath
not
been
left before
my
lord save
our bodies ,
and our ground;
Why should
we perish
before your
eyes —
we and our land
as
well
? Purchase
us and our land
in
exchange
for food.
Then
we
, along
with
our land,
will
be
slaves
to Pharaoh .
Give us
seed that
we may
live and not
die, and that
the land
may
not become
desolate. ”
why do
we die
before thine
eyes ,
both
we and our ground
? buy
us and our ground
for bread
, and
we
and
our ground
are
servants
to Pharaoh ;
and
give seed ,
and
we live ,
and die not
, and the ground
is
not desolate. '
So
Joseph acquired
for
Pharaoh
all the land
in
Egypt ;
the Egyptians ,
one
and
all,
sold their
fields
because
the famine was
so
severe upon them .
The land became
Pharaoh’s,
And
Joseph buyeth
all the ground
of
Egypt for
Pharaoh,
for
the Egyptians have
sold each
his
field,
for
the famine hath
been
severe upon them ,
and
the land becometh
Pharaoh's;
and
Joseph
reduced
the people to servitude
from one end of Egypt
to
the other.
as
to
the people he
hath
removed
them
to cities
from the
`
one '
end of the border
of
Egypt
even
unto
its
`
other '
end
.
However,
he did
not acquire
the priests ’
portion of
the
land
, for
it
had
been
given to them by
Pharaoh.
They
ate
the
rations
that
Pharaoh
supplied;
so
they did
not sell
their land
.
Only
the
ground
of
the
priests
he hath
not bought,
for
the priests have
a
portion from
Pharaoh
, and
they
have
eaten
their
portion
which
Pharaoh
hath
given to them ,
therefore
they have
not sold
their ground
.
Then
Joseph said
to
the people, “Now
that
I have acquired
you and your land
for Pharaoh this
day
, here
is
seed for you to
sow
in
the land.
And
Joseph saith
unto
the people, `Lo,
I have bought
you to-day
and your ground
for Pharaoh ;
lo
, seed for you ,
and
ye
have
sown
the ground,
At
harvest
time,
you
are
to give
a fifth of
it
to Pharaoh, and four -fifths
will
be
yours
as
seed
for the field and food
for yourselves
and your households
and children
. ”
and
it
hath
come
to pass
in
the
increases,
that
ye
have
given
a fifth to Pharaoh, and four of
the
parts
are
for yourselves,
for
seed
of
the field ,
and for your
food,
and for
those
who
`are'
in
your houses,
and for
food
for
your
infants
. '
“You
have
saved
our
lives,”
they said.
“
We have
found
favor
in our
lord’s
eyes, and we
will
be
Pharaoh’s
servants .”
And
they say,
`Thou
hast
revived
us;
we find
grace
in the
eyes of
my
lord
, and have
been
servants to
Pharaoh;'
So
Joseph established
a
law
that
a fifth
of
the
produce
belongs
to
Pharaoh
, and
it
is
in
effect
in
the land
of Egypt to
this
day.
Only the priests ’
land
does
not belong
to
Pharaoh
.
and
Joseph setteth
it
for
a statute
unto
this
day
, concerning
the ground
of Egypt ,
`that'
Pharaoh
hath
a
fifth;
only the ground
of
the
priests alone
hath
not become
Pharaoh's
.
Now
the
Israelites
settled
in the land of Egypt, in the region
of Goshen .
They acquired
property
there
and became
fruitful and increased
greatly
in
number.
And
Israel
dwelleth
in the land of Egypt, in the land
of Goshen ,
and
they have
possession
in
it,
and are
fruitful ,
and multiply
exceedingly;
And Jacob lived
in the land of Egypt seventeen years, and the length
of his life was
147
years.
and Jacob liveth
in the land of Egypt seventeen years, and the days
of Jacob,
the
years
of
his life ,
are
an
hundred
and
forty
and
seven
years.
When
the time
drew
near
for
Israel to die, he called
his son Joseph and said
to him, “
If I have found favor
in your
eyes, put your
hand under my thigh and promise
to
show
me kindness and faithfulness.
Do
not
bury me in Egypt,
And
the days
of
Israel are
near
to die, and
he calleth
for
his son ,
for
Joseph ,
and saith
to him, `
If ,
I pray
thee,
I
have found grace
in thine
eyes, put ,
I
pray
thee,
thy
hand under my thigh ,
and thou
hast
done
with
me kindness and truth;
bury me not,
I
pray
thee,
in Egypt,
but
when
I lie
down
with my fathers, carry
me out of Egypt and bury
me with
them
. ”
Joseph
answered
, “
I will
do as
you
have
requested.”
and
I have
lain
with my fathers, and
thou
hast
borne
me out of Egypt ,
and buried
me in
their
burying-place
. '
And
he
saith
, `
I --
I
do according
to
thy
word;'
“
Swear to me ,”
Jacob
said.
So
Joseph
swore
to him, and Israel bowed
in
worship
at
the head of his
bed.
and
he
saith,
`
Swear to me ;'
and
he
sweareth
to him, and Israel boweth
himself
on
the head of the
bed.
