Genesis 47:8-13 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

8. Then Pharaoh said to Jacob, “How old are you?”

9. And Jacob said to Pharaoh, “The days of the years of my sojourning are one hundred and thirty years. Few and hard have been the days of the years of my life, and they have not reached the days of the years of the lives of my ancestors in the days of their sojourning.”

10. And Jacob blessed Pharaoh, and he went out from the presence of Pharaoh.

11. And Joseph settled his father and his brothers, and he gave them property in the land of Egypt in the best part of the land, in the land of Rameses, as Pharaoh had instructed.

12. And Joseph provided his father and his brothers and all the household of his father with food, according to the number of their children.

13. Now there was no food in all the land, for the famine was very severe. And the land of Egypt languished, with the land of Canaan, on account of the famine.
