Genesis 47:7-14 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

7. Then Joseph brought his father Jacob and presented him to Pharaoh. And Jacob blessed Pharaoh.

8. Then Pharaoh asked Jacob, “How many years have you lived?”

9. Jacob replied: “The years I have lived as a wayfarer amount to a hundred and thirty. Few and hard have been these years of my life, and they do not compare with the years that my ancestors lived as wayfarers.”

10. Then Jacob blessed Pharaoh and withdrew from his presence.

11. Joseph settled his father and brothers and gave them a holding in Egypt on the pick of the land, in the region of Rameses, as Pharaoh had ordered.

12. And Joseph provided food for his father and brothers and his father’s whole household, down to the youngest.

13. Since there was no food in all the land because of the extreme severity of the famine, and the lands of Egypt and Canaan were languishing from hunger,

14. Joseph gathered in, as payment for the grain that they were buying, all the money that was to be found in Egypt and Canaan, and he put it in Pharaoh’s house.
