7
Then Joseph brought in Jacob his father and stood him before Pharaoh,
1and Jacob blessed Pharaoh.
8
And Pharaoh said to Jacob, "How many are the days of the years of your life?"
9
And Jacob said to Pharaoh, "The days of the years of my
2sojourning are 130 years.
3Few and evil have been the days of the years of my life, and
4they have not attained to the days of the years of the life of my fathers in the days of their
5sojourning."
10
And Jacob
6blessed Pharaoh and went out from the presence of Pharaoh.
11
Then Joseph settled his father and his brothers and gave them a possession in the land of Egypt, in the best of the land, in the land of
7Rameses,
8as Pharaoh had commanded.
12
And Joseph
9provided his father, his brothers, and all his father's household with food, according to the number of their dependents.
Joseph and the Famine
13 Now there was no food in all the land, for the famine was very severe, so that the land of Egypt and the land of Canaan languished by reason of the famine.
14
10And Joseph gathered up all the money that was found in the land of Egypt and in the land of Canaan, in exchange for the grain that they bought. And Joseph brought the money into Pharaoh's house.
15
And when the money was all spent in the land of Egypt and in the land of Canaan, all the Egyptians came to Joseph and said, "Give us food.
11Why should we die before your eyes? For our money is gone."
16
And Joseph answered, "Give your livestock, and I will give you food in exchange for your livestock, if your money is gone."
17
So they brought their livestock to Joseph, and Joseph gave them food in exchange for the horses, the flocks, the herds, and the donkeys. He supplied them with food in exchange for all their livestock that year.
