00:00.720 --> 00:06.300
Chapter 47 Then Joseph came and told
Pharaoh, and said, My father and my

00:06.300 --> 00:09.300
brethren, and their flocks, and their
herds, and all that they have,

00:09.400 --> 00:10.800
are come out of the land of Canaan.

00:11.120 --> 00:14.080
And, behold, they are in the land of
Goshen.

00:14.340 --> 00:18.080
And he took some of his brethren,
even five men, and presented them unto

00:18.080 --> 00:18.440
Pharaoh.

00:18.860 --> 00:21.580
And Pharaoh said unto his brethren,
What is your occupation?

00:21.880 --> 00:26.580
And they said unto Pharaoh, Thy servants
are shepherds, both we and also our

00:26.580 --> 00:27.020
fathers.

00:27.380 --> 00:31.340
They said moreover unto Pharaoh,
For to sojourn in the land are we come.

00:31.600 --> 00:34.600
For thy servants have no pasture for their
flocks.

00:34.960 --> 00:37.460
For the famine is sore in the land of
Canaan.

00:38.160 --> 00:43.020
Now therefore, we pray thee, let thy
servants dwell in the land of Goshen.

00:43.180 --> 00:46.520
And Pharaoh spake unto Joseph,
saying, Thy father and thy brethren are

00:46.520 --> 00:47.340
come unto thee.

00:47.780 --> 00:49.580
The land of Egypt is before thee.

00:49.840 --> 00:53.420
In the best of the land make thy father
and brethren to dwell.

00:53.880 --> 00:55.840
In the land of Goshen let them dwell.

00:55.840 --> 01:00.780
And if thou knowest any men of activity
among them, then make them rulers over my

01:00.780 --> 01:01.180
cattle.

01:01.560 --> 01:04.640
And Joseph brought in Jacob his father,
and set him before Pharaoh.

01:04.940 --> 01:06.580
And Jacob blessed Pharaoh.

01:07.180 --> 01:09.760
And Pharaoh said unto Jacob, How old art
thou?

01:10.080 --> 01:16.180
And Jacob said unto Pharaoh, The days of
the years of my pilgrimage are an hundred

01:16.180 --> 01:17.800
and thirty years.

01:18.720 --> 01:26.460
Few and evil have the days of the years of
my life been, and have not attained unto

01:26.460 --> 01:32.360
the days of the years of the life of my
fathers in the days of their pilgrimage.

01:32.980 --> 01:36.080
And Jacob blessed Pharaoh, and went out
from before Pharaoh.

01:36.600 --> 01:40.560
And Joseph placed his father and his
brethren, and gave them a possession in

01:40.560 --> 01:44.020
the land of Egypt, in the best of the
land, in the land of Ramesses,

01:44.500 --> 01:45.600
as Pharaoh had commanded.

01:46.500 --> 01:50.200
And Joseph nourished his father and his
brethren and all his father's household

01:50.200 --> 01:52.280
with bread, according to their families.

01:52.280 --> 01:57.340
And there was no bread in all the land,
for the famine was very sore, so that the

01:57.340 --> 02:00.720
land of Egypt and all the land of Canaan
fainted by reason of the famine.

02:01.340 --> 02:05.100
And Joseph gathered up all the money that
was found in the land of Egypt and in the

02:05.100 --> 02:07.160
land of Canaan for the corn which they
bought.

02:07.580 --> 02:09.960
And Joseph brought the money into
Pharaoh's house.

02:10.340 --> 02:14.080
And when money failed in the land of Egypt
and in the land of Canaan, all the

02:14.080 --> 02:19.220
Egyptians came unto Joseph and said,
Give us bread, for why should we die in

02:19.220 --> 02:19.880
thy presence?

02:20.340 --> 02:21.580
For the money faileth.

02:21.580 --> 02:25.300
And Joseph said, Give your cattle,
and I will give you for your cattle,

02:25.460 --> 02:26.140
if money fail.

02:26.320 --> 02:27.900
And they brought their cattle unto Joseph.

02:28.240 --> 02:32.140
And Joseph gave them bread in exchange for
horses, and for the flocks, and for the

02:32.140 --> 02:34.220
cattle of the herds, and for the asses.

02:34.380 --> 02:37.320
And he fed them with bread for all their
cattle for that year.

02:37.820 --> 02:41.280
When that year was ended, they came unto
him the second year and said unto him,

02:41.460 --> 02:44.540
We will not hide it from my Lord,
how that our money is spent.

02:45.120 --> 02:47.320
My Lord also hath our herds of cattle.

02:47.320 --> 02:51.640
There is not ox left in the sight of my
Lord, but our bodies and our lands.

02:52.420 --> 02:56.260
Wherefore shall we die before thine eyes,
both we and our land?

02:56.560 --> 03:01.180
Buy us and our land for bread,
and we and our land will be servants unto

03:01.180 --> 03:01.580
Pharaoh.

03:02.080 --> 03:07.560
And give us seed, that we may live and not
die, that the land be not desolate.

03:08.180 --> 03:11.140
And Joseph bought all the land of Egypt
for Pharaoh.

03:11.460 --> 03:15.360
For the Egyptians sold every man his
field, because the famine prevailed over

03:15.360 --> 03:15.660
them.

03:15.660 --> 03:20.540
So the land became Pharaoh's, and as for
the people, he removed them to cities from

03:20.540 --> 03:23.460
one end of the borders of Egypt even to
the other end thereof.

03:23.860 --> 03:26.040
Only the land of the priests bought he
not.

03:26.400 --> 03:30.120
For the priests had a portion assigned
them of Pharaoh, and did eat their portion

03:30.120 --> 03:31.260
which Pharaoh gave them.

03:31.620 --> 03:33.380
Wherefore they sold not their lands.

03:33.800 --> 03:37.720
Then Joseph said unto the people,
Behold, I have bought you this day,

03:37.820 --> 03:39.000
and your land for Pharaoh.

03:39.520 --> 03:44.860
Lo, here is seed for you, and ye shall sow
the land, and it shall come to pass in the

03:44.860 --> 03:49.420
increase, that ye shall give the fifth
part unto Pharaoh, and four parts shall be

03:49.420 --> 03:54.300
your own, for seed of the field,
and for your food, and for them of your

03:54.300 --> 03:56.800
households, and for food for your little
ones.

03:56.940 --> 03:59.240
And they said, Thou hast saved our lives.

03:59.840 --> 04:05.180
Let us find grace in the sight of my Lord,
and we will be Pharaoh's servants.

04:05.800 --> 04:10.160
And Joseph made it a law over the land of
Egypt unto this day, that Pharaoh should

04:10.160 --> 04:14.320
have the fifth part, except the land of
the priests only, which became not

04:14.320 --> 04:14.940
Pharaoh's.

04:15.380 --> 04:19.040
And Israel dwelt in the land of Egypt in
the country of Goshen, and they had

04:19.040 --> 04:21.960
possessions therein, and grew,
and multiplied exceedingly.

04:22.380 --> 04:26.860
And Jacob lived in the land of Egypt
seventeen years, so the whole age of Jacob

04:26.860 --> 04:28.860
was an hundred forty and seven years.

04:29.380 --> 04:31.660
And the time drew nigh that Israel must
die.

04:31.960 --> 04:38.100
And he called his son Joseph, and said
unto him, If now I have found grace in thy

04:38.100 --> 04:47.320
sight, put, I pray thee, thy hand under my
thigh, and deal kindly and truly with me.

04:48.240 --> 04:54.300
Bury me not, I pray thee, in Egypt,
but I will lie with my fathers,

04:54.540 --> 05:01.800
and thou shalt carry me out of Egypt,
and bury me in their burying place.

05:01.800 --> 05:04.900
And he said, I will do as thou hast said.

05:05.180 --> 05:07.300
And he said, Swear unto me.

05:07.580 --> 05:11.940
And he swore unto him, and Israel bowed
himself upon the bed's head.
