Then Joseph went in and told Pharaoh, and said, “My father and my brothers, with their flocks, their herds, and all that they own, have come out of the land of Canaan; and behold, they are in the land of Goshen.” Gen 45:10Gen 46:31Gen 46:28Exo 8:22Exo 9:26Gen 45:16Gen 46:34Heb 2:11 From among his brothers he took five men, and presented them to Pharaoh. Act 7:132Co 4:14Col 1:28Jud 1:24 Pharaoh said to his brothers, “What is your occupation?” Gen 46:33-342Th 3:10Amo 7:14-15Gen 4:2Jon 1:8
They said to Pharaoh, “Your servants are shepherds, both we, and our fathers.” They also said to Pharaoh, “We have come to live as foreigners in the land, for there is no pasture for your servants’ flocks. For the famine is severe in the land of Canaan. Now therefore, please let your servants dwell in the land of Goshen.” Gen 46:34Deu 26:5Gen 15:13Gen 43:1Act 7:11Psa 105:23Act 7:6Gen 12:10
Pharaoh spoke to Joseph, saying, “Your father and your brothers have come to you. The land of Egypt is before you. Make your father and your brothers dwell in the best of the land. Let them dwell in the land of Goshen. If you know any able men among them, then put them in charge of my livestock.” Exo 18:21Gen 47:11Pro 22:292Ch 26:10Exo 18:25Gen 47:41Ch 27:29-311Sa 21:7
Joseph brought in Jacob, his father, and set him before Pharaoh; and Jacob blessed Pharaoh. Gen 47:101Ki 1:471Pe 2:171Sa 2:202Ki 4:292Sa 14:222Sa 19:392Sa 8:10 Pharaoh said to Jacob, “How old are you?”
Jacob said to Pharaoh, “The years of my pilgrimage are one hundred thirty years. The days of the years of my life have been few and evil. They have not attained to the days of the years of the life of my fathers in the days of their pilgrimage.” Job 14:1Psa 39:12Gen 35:28Psa 39:51Pe 2:11Deu 34:7Exo 6:4Exo 7:7 Jacob blessed Pharaoh, and went out from the presence of Pharaoh. Gen 47:72Sa 19:392Sa 8:10Deu 33:1Gen 14:19Heb 7:7Psa 129:8Num 6:23-27
Joseph placed 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 Rameses, as Pharaoh had commanded. Exo 1:11Exo 12:37Gen 47:6Jhn 10:10Jhn 10:28Jhn 14:2Jhn 14:23Jhn 17:2 Joseph provided his father, his brothers, and all of his father’s household with bread, according to the sizes of their families. Gen 45:111Th 2:71Ti 4:81Ti 5:41Ti 5:8Exo 20:12Gen 47:1Gen 47:21
There was no bread in all the land; for the famine was very severe, so that the land of Egypt and the land of Canaan fainted by reason of the famine. Act 7:111Ki 18:5Gen 41:30-31Jer 14:1-6Jer 9:12Jol 1:10-12Lam 2:19-20Lam 4:9 Joseph gathered up all the money that was found in the land of Egypt, and in the land of Canaan, for the grain which they bought: and Joseph brought the money into Pharaoh’s house. Gen 41:56Luk 16:10-121Co 4:21Pe 4:10Luk 16:1-2 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 bread, for why should we die in your presence? For our money fails.” 1Sa 21:31Sa 25:8Gen 47:18-19Gen 47:24Jdg 8:5Jdg 8:8Mat 6:11Psa 37:3
Joseph said, “Give me your livestock; and I will give you food for your livestock, if your money is gone.” 1Co 10:32Col 4:5Dan 6:5-7Php 4:8Pro 12:17
They brought their livestock to Joseph, and Joseph gave them bread in exchange for the horses, and for the flocks, and for the herds, and for the donkeys: and he fed them with bread in exchange for all their livestock for that year. 1Ki 10:28Exo 9:3Isa 31:1Job 2:4Mat 6:24 When that year was ended, they came to him the second year, and said to him, “We will not hide from my lord how our money is all spent, and the herds of livestock are my lord’s. There is nothing left in the sight of my lord, but our bodies, and our lands. 2Ki 6:26Jer 38:9 Why should we die before your eyes, both we and our land? Buy us and our land for bread, and we and our land will be servants to Pharaoh. Give us seed, that we may live, and not die, and that the land won’t be desolate.” Job 2:4Neh 5:2-3Lam 1:11Lam 5:6Lam 5:9Mat 16:26Php 3:8-9
So Joseph bought all the land of Egypt for Pharaoh, for every man of the Egyptians sold his field, because the famine was severe on them, and the land became Pharaoh’s. As for the people, he moved them to the cities from one end of the border of Egypt even to the other end of it. Gen 41:48 Only he didn’t buy the land of the priests, for the priests had a portion from Pharaoh, and ate their portion which Pharaoh gave them. That is why they didn’t sell their land. Ezr 7:241Co 9:131Ti 5:172Sa 8:182Th 3:10Deu 12:19Gal 6:6Gen 14:18 Then Joseph said to the people, “Behold, I have bought you and your land today for Pharaoh. Behold, here is seed for you, and you shall sow the land. 2Co 9:10Ecc 11:6Gen 41:27Gen 45:6Isa 28:24-25Isa 55:10Mat 24:45Pro 11:26 It will happen at the harvests, that you shall give a fifth to Pharaoh, and four parts will be your own, for seed of the field, for your food, for them of your households, and for food for your little ones.” Gen 41:34Psa 112:5Psa 41:11Sa 8:15-17Gen 47:25Lev 27:32
They said, “You have saved our lives! Let us find favor in the sight of my lord, and we will be Pharaoh’s servants.” Gen 33:15Gen 18:3Gen 41:45Gen 45:6-8Gen 50:20Gen 6:19Pro 11:26-27Rut 2:13
Joseph made it a statute concerning the land of Egypt to this day, that Pharaoh should have the fifth. Only the land of the priests alone didn’t become Pharaoh’s. Gen 47:22Ezk 7:24
Israel lived in the land of Egypt, in the land of Goshen; and they got themselves possessions therein, and were fruitful, and multiplied exceedingly. Gen 46:3Exo 1:7Act 7:17Psa 107:38Deu 26:5Gen 26:4Psa 105:24Zec 10:8 Jacob lived in the land of Egypt seventeen years. So the days of Jacob, the years of his life, were one hundred forty-seven years. Psa 90:10Gen 37:2Gen 47:8-9Psa 119:84Psa 90:12 The time came near that Israel must die, and he called his son Joseph, and said to him, “If now I have found favor in your sight, please put your hand under my thigh, and deal kindly and truly with me. Please don’t bury me in Egypt, Deu 31:14Gen 24:2Gen 24:491Ki 2:1Act 7:15-16Gen 50:24-252Sa 14:142Sa 7:12 but when I sleep with my fathers, you shall carry me out of Egypt, and bury me in their burying place.” Gen 49:29-32Gen 23:19Gen 25:91Ki 13:222Sa 19:37Act 7:15-16Gen 50:25Gen 50:5-14
Joseph said, “I will do as you have said.”
Israel said, “Swear to me,” and he swore to him. Then Israel bowed himself on the bed’s head. 1Ki 1:47Gen 24:3Heb 11:21Gen 24:26Gen 47:29Gen 48:1-2Gen 21:23
