1 So Josephtook five of his brothers and went to the king. He told him, "My father and my brothers have come from Canaanwith their flocks, their herds, and all that they own. They are now in the region of Goshen." 2 He then presented his brothers to the king. 3 The king asked them, "What is your occupation?"
"We are shepherds, sir, just as our ancestors were," they answered. 4 "We have come to live in this country, because in the land of Canaanthe famine is so severe that there is no pasture for our flocks. Please give us permission to live in the region of Goshen." 5 The king said to Joseph, "Now that your father and your brothers have arrived, 6 the land of Egyptis theirs. Let them settle in the region of Goshen, the best part of the land. And if there are any capable men among them, put them in charge of my own livestock."
7 Then Josephbrought his father Jacoband presented him to the king. Jacobgave the king his blessing, 8 and the king asked him, "How old are you?"
9 Jacobanswered, "My life of wandering has lasted a hundred and thirty years. Those years have been few and difficult, unlike the long years of my ancestors in their wanderings." 10 Jacobgave the king a farewell blessing and left. 11 Then Josephsettled his father and his brothers in Egypt, giving them property in the best of the land near the city of Rameses, as the king had commanded. 12 Josephprovided food for his father, his brothers, and all the rest of his father’s family, including the very youngest.
The Famine
13 The famine was so severe that there was no food anywhere, and the people of Egyptand Canaanbecame weak with hunger. 14 As they bought grain, Josephcollected all the money and took it to the palace. 15 When all the money in Egyptand Canaanwas spent, the Egyptianscame to Josephand said, "Give us food! Don’t let us die. Do something! Our money is all gone."
16 Josephanswered, "Bring your livestock; I will give you food in exchange for it if your money is all gone." 17 So they brought their livestock to Joseph, and he gave them food in exchange for their horses, sheep, goats, cattle, and donkeys. That year he supplied them with food in exchange for all their livestock.
18 The following year they came to him and said, "We will not hide the fact from you, sir, that our money is all gone and our livestock belongs to you. There is nothing left to give you except our bodies and our lands. 19 Don’t let us die. Do something! Don’t let our fields be deserted. Buy us and our land in exchange for food. We will be the king’s slaves, and he will own our land. Give us grain to keep us alive and seed so that we can plant our fields."
20 Josephbought all the land in Egyptfor the king. Every Egyptianwas forced to sell his land, because the famine was so severe; and all the land became the king’s property. 21 Joseph made slaves of the people from one end of Egyptto the other. 22 The only land he did not buy was the land that belonged to the priests. They did not have to sell their lands, because the king gave them an allowance to live on. 23 Josephsaid to the people, "You see, I have now bought you and your lands for the king. Here is seed for you to sow in your fields. 24 At the time of harvest you must give one-fifth to the king. You can use the rest for seed and for food for yourselves and your families."
25 They answered, "You have saved our lives; you have been good to us, sir, and we will be the king’s slaves." 26 So Josephmade it a law for the land of Egyptthat one-fifth of the harvest should belong to the king. This law still remains in force today. Only the lands of the priests did not become the king’s property.
Jacob’s Last Request
27 The Israelites lived in Egyptin the region of Goshen, where they became rich and had many children. 28 Jacoblived in Egyptseventeen years, until he was a hundred and forty-seven years old. 29 Gn 49.29-32;50.6When the time drew near for him to die, he called for his son Josephand said to him, "Place your hand between my thighs47.29: Place … thighs: See 24.2.and make a solemn vow that you will not bury me in Egypt. 30 I want to be buried where my fathers are; carry me out of Egyptand bury me where they are buried."
Joseph answered, "I will do as you say."
31 Jacobsaid, "Make a vow that you will." Joseph made the vow, and Jacobgave thanks there on his bed.
