Genesis 47:10 In-Context

8 and he was asked of the king (and the king asked him), How many be the days of the years of thy life?
9 And he answered, The days of [the] pilgrimage of my life be few and evil, of an hundred and thirty years, and those have not come to the days of my fathers, in which they were pilgrims. (And he answered, The days of my life's wanderings be but few and far between, yea, only a hundred and thirty years, and they have not even come close to the number of days that my fathers had.)
10 And when Jacob had blessed the king (again), he went out.
11 Forsooth Joseph gave to his father and [his] brethren (a) possession in Egypt, in Rameses, the best soil of [the] earth (the best soil in the land), as Pharaoh commanded;
12 and he fed them, and all the house(hold) of his father, and gave meats to them all (and gave food to all of them).
