Genesis 47:3-8 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

4. They said to Pharaoh, "We have come to sojourn 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 live in the land of Goshen."

5. Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, "Your father and your brothers have come to you.

6. The land of Egypt is at your disposal; settle your father and your brothers in the best of the land, let them live in the land of Goshen; and if you know any capable men among them, then put them in charge of my livestock."

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

8. Pharaoh said to Jacob, "How many years have you lived?"
