YAAQOV IN MISRAYIM
Then Yoseph comes and tells Paroh and says, My father and my brothers and their flocks and their oxen and all they have have come from the land of Kenaan; and behold, they are in the land of Goshen. 2 And he takes five men from the end of his brothers and presents them at the face of Paroh. 3 And Paroh says to his brothers, What is your work? And they say to Paroh, Your servants tend flocks - both we and our fathers. 4 And they say to Paroh, We come to sojourn in the land; for your servants have no pasture for their flocks; for the famine is heavy in the land of Kenaan: and now, we beseech you, that you settle your servants in the land of Goshen. 5 And Paroh says to Yoseph, saying, Your father and your brothers come to you: 6 the land of Misrayim is at your face; settle your father and brothers in the best of the land - settle them in the land of Goshen: and if you know any men of valour among them, set them governors over my chattel. 7 And Yoseph enters Yaaqov his father and stands him at the face of Paroh: and Yaaqov blesses Paroh. 8 And Paroh says to Yaaqov, How many are the days of the years of your life? 9 And Yaaqov says to Paroh, The days of the years of my sojournings are a hundred years and thirty years: few and evil be the days of the years of my life: and reach not to the days of the years of the life of my fathers in the days of their sojournings. 10 And Yaaqov blesses Paroh and goes from the face of Paroh: 11 and Yoseph settles his father and his brothers and gives them a possession in the land of Misrayim - in the best of the land, in the land of Rameses, as Paroh misvahed. 12 And Yoseph nourishes his father and his brothers and all the household of his father with bread, according to the mouths of their toddlers: 13 and there is no bread in all the land; for the famine is mighty heavy so that the land of Misrayim and the land of Kenaan are rabid at the face of the famine. 14 And Yoseph gleans all the silver they find in the land of Misrayim and in the land of Kenaan for the kernels for which they market: and Yoseph brings the silver into the house of Paroh: 15 and when the silver fails in the land of Misrayim and in the land of Kenaan, all the Misrayim come to Yoseph, and say, Give us bread! Why die we in your presence? although the silver is consumed. 16 And Yoseph says, Give your chattel; and I give you for your chattel, if silver is consumed. 17 And they bring their chattel to Yoseph: and Yoseph gives them bread for horses and for the chattel of the flocks and for the chattel of the oxen and for the he burros: and he sustains them with bread for all their chattel for that year. 18 And that year consummates: and they come to him the second year and say to him, We conceal not from my adoni, how that our silver is consumed; my adoni also has our chattel of animals; naught survives at the face of my adoni except our bodies and our soil: 19 Why die we in front of your eyes - both we and our soil? Chattelize us and our soil for bread and we and our soil become servants to Paroh: and give us seed, that we live and not die, that the soil not become desolate. 20 And Yoseph chattels all the soil of Misrayim for Paroh; for every Misrayim man sells his field, because the famine prevails over them: so the land becomes to Paroh: 21 and as for the people, he passes them to cities from the end of the borders of Misrayim even to the end thereof. 22 Only he chattels not the soil of the priests; for the priests have a statute from Paroh and they consume the statute Paroh gave them: so they sold not their soil. 23 Then Yoseph says to the people, Behold, this day, I chattel you and your soil for Paroh: behold, seed for you; seed the soil: 24 and so be it, of the produce, give a fifth to Paroh; and four become your own for seed of the field and for your food and for them of your households and for food for your toddlers. 25 And they say, You preserved our lives! We find charism in the eyes of my adoni and we become the servants of Paroh. 26 And Yoseph set a statute over the land of Misrayim to this day, that Paroh have the fifth, except that the soil of the priests becomes not to Paroh. 27 And Yisra El settles in the land of Misrayim in the land of Goshen; and they possess therein and bear fruit and abound mightily: 28 and Yaaqov lives in the land of Misrayim seventeen years: so the days of the years of the life of Yaaqov are a hundred forty years and seven years. 29 And the day approaches that Yisra El die: and he calls his son Yoseph and says to him, If now I find charism in your eyes, put, I beseech you, your hand under my flank and work in mercy and truth with me; entomb me not, I beseech you, in Misrayim: 30 but lay me with my fathers and bear me from Misrayim and entomb me in their tomb. And he says, I work your word. 31 And he says, Oath to me. And he oaths to him. - and Yisra El prostrates on the head of the bed.
