|
|
4. They 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."
|
4. They said H559 moreover unto H413 Pharaoh H6547 , For to sojourn H1481 in the land H776 are we come H935 ; for H3588 H834 thy servants H5650 have no H369 pasture H4829 for their flocks H6629 ; for H3588 the famine H7458 is sore H3515 in the land H776 of Canaan H3667 : now H6258 therefore , we pray thee H4994 , let thy servants H5650 dwell H3427 in the land H776 of Goshen H1657 .

|
|
9. Jacob said to Pharaoh, "The days of the years of my pilgrimage are one hundred thirty years. Few and evil have been the days of the years of my life, and they have not attained to the days of the years of the life of my fathers in the days of their pilgrimage."
|
9. And Jacob H3290 said H559 unto H413 Pharaoh H6547 , The days H3117 of the years H8141 of my pilgrimage H4033 are a hundred H3967 and thirty H7970 years H8141 : few H4592 and evil H7451 have the days H3117 of the years H8141 of my life H2416 been H1961 , and have not H3808 attained unto H5381 H853 the days H3117 of the years H8141 of the life H2416 of my fathers H1 in the days H3117 of their pilgrimage H4033 .

|
|
13. 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.
|
13. And there was no H369 bread H3899 in all H3605 the land H776 ; for H3588 the famine H7458 was very H3966 sore H3515 , so that the land H776 of Egypt H4714 and all the land H776 of Canaan H3667 fainted H3856 by reason of H4480 H6440 the famine H7458 .

|
|
15. 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."
|
15. And when money H3701 failed H8552 in the land H4480 H776 of Egypt H4714 , and in the land H4480 H776 of Canaan H3667 , all H3605 the Egyptians H4714 came H935 unto H413 Joseph H3130 , and said H559 , Give H3051 us bread H3899 : for why H4100 should we die H4191 in thy presence H5048 ? for H3588 the money H3701 faileth H656 .
|
|
16. Joseph said, "Give your cattle; and I will give you food for your cattle, if money fails."
|
16. And Joseph H3130 said H559 , Give H3051 your cattle H4735 ; and I will give H5414 you for your cattle H4735 , if H518 money H3701 fail H656 .
|
|
17. They brought their cattle 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 cattle for that year.
|
17. And they brought H935 H853 their cattle H4735 unto H413 Joseph H3130 : and Joseph H3130 gave H5414 them bread H3899 in exchange for horses H5483 , and for the flocks H4735 H6629 , and for the cattle H4735 of the herds H1241 , and for the asses H2543 : and he fed H5095 them with bread H3899 for all H3605 their cattle H4735 for that H1931 year H8141 .
|
|
18. 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 cattle are my lord's. There is nothing left in the sight of my lord, but our bodies, and our lands.
|
18. When that H1931 year H8141 was ended H8552 , they came H935 unto H413 him the second H8145 year H8141 , and said H559 unto him , We will not H3808 hide H3582 it from H4480 my lord H113 , how that H3588 H518 our money H3701 is spent H8552 ; my lord H113 also hath H413 our herds H4735 of cattle H929 ; there is not H3808 aught left H7604 in the sight H6440 of my lord H113 , but H1115 H518 our bodies H1472 , and our lands H127 :
|
|
19. 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."
|
19. Wherefore H4100 shall we die H4191 before thine eyes H5869 , both H1571 we H587 and H1571 our land H127 ? buy H7069 us and our land H127 for bread H3899 , and we H587 and our land H127 will be H1961 servants H5650 unto Pharaoh H6547 : and give H5414 us seed H2233 , that we may live H2421 , and not H3808 die H4191 , that the land H127 be not desolate H3456 H3808 .
|
|
20. So Joseph bought all the land of Egypt for Pharaoh, for the Egyptians sold every man his field, because the famine was severe on them, and the land became Pharaoh's.
|
20. And Joseph H3130 bought H7069 H853 all H3605 the land H127 of Egypt H4714 for Pharaoh H6547 ; for H3588 the Egyptians H4714 sold H4376 every man H376 his field H7704 , because H3588 the famine H7458 prevailed H2388 over H5921 them : so the land H776 became H1961 Pharaoh H6547 's.
|
|
21. 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.
|
21. And as for the people H5971 , he removed H5674 them to cities H5892 from one end H4480 H7097 of the borders H1366 of Egypt H4714 even to H5704 the other end H7097 thereof.
|
|
22. 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.
|
22. Only H7535 the land H127 of the priests H3548 bought H7069 he not H3808 ; for H3588 the priests H3548 had a portion H2706 assigned them of H4480 H854 Pharaoh H6547 , and did eat H398 H853 their portion H2706 which H834 Pharaoh H6547 gave H5414 them: wherefore H5921 H3651 they sold H4376 not H3808 H853 their lands H127 .
|
|
23. 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.
|
23. Then Joseph H3130 said H559 unto H413 the people H5971 , Behold H2005 , I have bought H7069 you this day H3117 and your land H127 for Pharaoh H6547 : lo H1887 , here is seed H2233 for you , and ye shall sow H2232 H853 the land H127 .
|
|
24. 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."
|
24. And it shall come to pass H1961 in the increase H8393 , that ye shall give H5414 the fifth H2549 part unto Pharaoh H6547 , and four H702 parts H3027 shall be H1961 your own , for seed H2233 of the field H7704 , and for your food H400 , and for them H834 of your households H1004 , and for food H398 for your little ones H2945 .
|
|
25. They said, "You have saved our lives! Let us find favor in the sight of my lord, and we will be Pharaoh's servants."
|
25. And they said H559 , Thou hast saved our lives H2421 : let us find H4672 grace H2580 in the sight H5869 of my lord H113 , and we will be H1961 Pharaoh H6547 's servants H5650 .
|
|
26. 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.
|
26. And Joseph H3130 made H7760 it a law H2706 over H5921 the land H127 of Egypt H4714 unto H5704 this H2088 day H3117 , that Pharaoh H6547 should have the fifth H2569 part ; except H7535 the land H127 of the priests H3548 only H905 , which became H1961 not H3808 Pharaoh H6547 's.
|
|
27. Israel lived in the land of Egypt, in the land of Goshen; and they got themselves possessions therein, and were fruitful, and multiplied exceedingly.
|
27. And Israel H3478 dwelt H3427 in the land H776 of Egypt H4714 , in the country H776 of Goshen H1657 ; and they had possessions H270 therein , and grew H6509 , and multiplied H7235 exceedingly H3966 .
|
|
28. 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.
|
28. And Jacob H3290 lived H2421 in the land H776 of Egypt H4714 seventeen H7651 H6240 years H8141 : so the whole age H3117 H8141 H2416 of Jacob H3290 was H1961 a hundred H3967 forty H705 and seven H7651 years H8141 .
|
|
29. The time drew 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,
|
29. And the time H3117 drew nigh H7126 that Israel H3478 must die H4191 : and he called H7121 his son H1121 Joseph H3130 , and said H559 unto him, If H518 now H4994 I have found H4672 grace H2580 in thy sight H5869 , put H7760 , I pray thee H4994 , thy hand H3027 under H8478 my thigh H3409 , and deal H6213 kindly H2617 and truly H571 with H5973 me; bury H6912 me not H408 , I pray thee H4994 , in Egypt H4714 :
|
|
30. but when I sleep with my fathers, you shall carry me out of Egypt, and bury me in their burying place." He said, "I will do as you have said."
|
30. But I will lie H7901 with H5973 my fathers H1 , and thou shalt carry H5375 me out of Egypt H4480 H4714 , and bury H6912 me in their burial place H6900 . And he said H559 , I H595 will do H6213 as thou hast said H1697 .
|
|
31. He said, "Swear to me," And he swore to him. Israel bowed himself on the bed's head.
|
31. And he said H559 , Swear H7650 unto me . And he swore H7650 unto him . And Israel H3478 bowed himself H7812 upon H5921 the bed H4296 's head H7218 .
