8
And Pharaoh said unto Jacob, How old
art thou?
9
And Jacob said unto Pharaoh, The days of the years of my pilgrimage
are one hundred and thirty years; few and evil have the days of the years of my life been and have not attained unto the days of the years of the life of my fathers in the days of their pilgrimage.
10
And Jacob blessed Pharaoh and went out from before Pharaoh.
11
Thus Joseph placed his father and his brethren and gave them a possession in the land of Egypt in the best of the land, in the land of Rameses, as Pharaoh had commanded.
12
And Joseph nourished his father and his brethren, and all his father’s household with bread, according to
their families.
13
And
there was no bread in all the land, for the famine
was very sore, so that the land of Egypt and
all the land of Canaan fainted by reason of the famine.
14
And Joseph gathered up all the money that was found in the land of Egypt and in the land of Canaan for the food which they bought from him; and Joseph brought the money into Pharaoh’s house.
15
And when money failed in the land of Egypt and in the land of Canaan, all the Egyptians came unto Joseph and said, Give us bread, for why should we die in thy presence for the money fails?
16
And Joseph said, Give your livestock, and I will give you for your livestock if the money
has failed.
17
And they brought their livestock unto Joseph, and Joseph gave them bread
in exchange for horses and for the sheep and for the bovine livestock and for the asses, and he fed them with bread for all their livestock that year.
18
When that year was ended, they came unto him the second year and said unto him, We will not hide
it from my lord how that the money is gone; my lord also has our herds of cattle; there is not nothing left in the sight of my lord, but our bodies and our lands.
