Genesis 47:25-30 Amplified Bible (AMP)

25. And they said, You have saved our lives! Let us find favor in the sight of my lord; and we will be Pharaoh's servants.

26. And Joseph made it a law over the land of Egypt–to this day–that Pharaoh should have the fifth part [of the crops]; it was the priests' land only which did not become Pharaoh's.

27. And Israel dwelt in the land of Egypt, in the country of Goshen; and they gained possessions there and grew and multiplied exceedingly.

28. And Jacob lived in the land of Egypt seventeen years; so Jacob reached the age of 147 years.

29. When the time drew near that Israel must die, he called his son Joseph and said to him, If now I have found favor in your sight, put your hand under my thigh and [promise to] deal loyally and faithfully with me. Do not bury me, I beg of you, in Egypt,

30. But let me lie with my fathers; you shall carry me out of Egypt and bury me in their burying place. And [Joseph] said, I will do as you have directed.
