1. Then Joseph went and told Pharaoh, “My father and my brothers and their flocks and their herds and all that they possess have come from the land of Canaan and are now in the land of Goshen.”
2. He took five men from among his brothers and presented them before Pharaoh.
3. Pharaoh asked his brothers, “What is your occupation?”And they said to Pharaoh, “Your servants are shepherds, both we and also our fathers.”
4. They said to Pharaoh, “We have come to sojourn in the land, for your servants have no pasture for their flocks, because the famine is severe in the land of Canaan. Now therefore, please allow your servants to dwell in the land of Goshen.”
5. Pharaoh spoke to Joseph, saying, “Your father and your brothers have come to you.
6. The land of Egypt is before you. Have your father and your brothers dwell in the best of the land. Have them dwell in the land of Goshen, and if you know any capable men among them, then put them in charge over my livestock.”
7. Then Joseph brought in Jacob his father and presented him to Pharaoh, and Jacob blessed Pharaoh.
8. Pharaoh said to Jacob, “How old are you?”
9. And Jacob said to Pharaoh, “The days of the years of my pilgrimage are one hundred and thirty years. My days of the years of my life have been few and evil, and they have not attained to the days of the years of the lives of my fathers in the days of their pilgrimage.”
10. And Jacob blessed Pharaoh and went out from his presence.
11. So Joseph settled his father and his brothers and gave them a possession in the land of Egypt, in the best part of the land, in the land of Rameses, as Pharaoh had commanded.
12. Joseph provided food for his father, his brothers, and his father’s entire household, according to the number of their children.
13. There was no food in all the land, for the famine was very severe, so that the land of Egypt and all the land of Canaan languished because of the famine.
14. Joseph gathered up all the money that was found in the land of Egypt and in the land of Canaan for the grain that they bought, and Joseph brought the money into Pharaoh’s house.
