Tree Of Life Version

Genesis 47:9-16 Tree Of Life Version (TLV)

9. Jacob said to Pharaoh, “The days of the years of my sojourn are 130 years. Few and evil have been the days of the years of my life. Moreover, the days of the years of my life have not attained the days of the years of the lives of my fathers, in the days of their sojourn.”

10. And Jacob blessed Pharaoh and went out from Pharaoh’s presence.

11. Joseph settled his father and his brothers and gave them property in the land of Egypt, in the best part of the land, in the land of Rameses, just as Pharaoh commanded.

12. And Joseph supported his father and his brothers and his father’s entire household with food for the mouths of the little ones.

13. Now there was no food in all the land because the famine was very severe. Both the land of Egypt and the land of Canaan languished because of the famine.

14. Joseph collected all the money that could be found in the land of Egypt and in the land of Canaan for the grain that they bought, and Joseph brought the money into Pharaoh’s house.

15. Then the money of the land of Egypt and of the land of Canaan ran out and all of Egypt came to Joseph saying, “Give us food. Why should we die in front of you because the money is gone?”

16. Joseph said, “Give your livestock and I’ll give it to you for your livestock, if the money is gone.”
