1So Joseph went and told Pharaoh: "My father and my brothers, with their flocks and herds and all they own, have come from the land of Canaan and are now in Goshen."
“Then Joseph went in and told Pharaoh and said my father and my brothers and their flocks and their herds and all that they have, have come out of the land of Canaan and behold they are in the land of Goshen.”
“Then Joseph came and told the Pharaoh and said, my father and my brothers and their flocks and their herds and all that they have are come out of the land of Canaan. And behold, they are in the land of Goshen.”
“then Joseph came and told Pharaoh and said my father and my brethren all their flocks and. And their herds and all that they have are come out of the land of Canaan and behold They are in the land of Goshen.”
“Joseph came and told Pharaoh and said, My father and my brethren, their flocks and their herds and all that they have have come out of the land of Canaan. Behold, they are in the land of Goshen.”
2And he chose five of his brothers and presented them before Pharaoh.
“And he took some of his brethren, even five men, and presented them unto Pharaoh.”
“he took five men from among his brothers and presented them to Pharaoh.”
“And he took some of his brethren, even five men and presented them unto Pharaoh.”
“He took some of his brethren about even five men and presented them unto Pharaoh”
3"What is your occupation?" Pharaoh asked Joseph's brothers. "Your servants are shepherds," they replied, "both we and our fathers."
“and Pharaoh said unto His brethren. What is your occupation? And he said unto Pharaoh thy servants are shepherds both we and also our fathers.”
4Then they said to Pharaoh, "We have come to live in the land for a time, because there is no pasture for the flocks of your servants, since the famine in the land of Canaan has been severe. So now, please allow your servants to settle in the land of Goshen."
“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.”
“They said moreover unto Pharaoh, For to sojourn in the land, or we come, for thy servants have no pasture for their flocks, for the famine is sore in the land of Canaan. Now therefore we pray thee, let thy servants dwell in the…”
“said moreover unto Pharaoh to sojourn in the land. Are we come for thy servants have no pasture for their flocks for the famine is severe in the land of Canaan now. Therefore we pray thee let thy servants dwell in the land of…”
5Pharaoh said to Joseph, "Now that your father and brothers have come to you,
“Then Pharaoh spoke to Joseph saying your father and your brothers have come to you”
“Then Pharaoh said to Joseph your father and your brothers have come to you.”
“And Pharaoh spake unto Joseph saying, Thy father and thy brethren are come unto thee.”
“Pharaoh said to Joseph, your father and your brothers have come to you.”
“And Pharaoh spake unto Joseph, saying, Thy father and thy brethren have come unto thee.”
6the land of Egypt is before you; settle your father and brothers in the best part of the land. They may dwell in the land of Goshen. And if you know of any talented men among them, put them in charge of my own livestock."
“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.”
“The land of Egypt is before thee. In the best of the land make thy father and brethren to dwell. In the land of Goshen let them dwell. And if thou knowest any man of activity among them, then make them rulers over my cattle.”
“the land of Egypt is before you. Have your father and your brothers dwell in the best of the land. Let them dwell in the land of Goshen. And if you know any competent men among them, make them chief herdsmen over my livestock.”
“the land of Egypt is before thee and the best of the land make thy father and brethren to dwell. And the land of Goshen let them dwell and if thou knowest any man of activity among them, then make them rulers over my cattle”
7Then Joseph brought in his father Jacob and presented him before Pharaoh, and Jacob blessed Pharaoh.
“Then Joseph brought in his father Jacob and set him before Pharaoh and Jacob blessed Pharaoh.”
“And Joseph brought in Jacob, his father, and set him before Pharaoh, and Jacob blessed Pharaoh.”
“And Joseph brought in Jacob his father and set him before Pharaoh and Jacob blessed Pharaoh.”
“Then Joseph brought his father Jacob and presented him to Pharaoh. And Jacob blessed Pharaoh.”
“Then Joseph brought in his father Jacob and he set him before the Pharaoh and Jacob blessed Pharaoh.”
“Joseph brought in Jacob his father and set him before Pharaoh and Jacob blessed Pharaoh.”
8"How many years have you lived?" Pharaoh asked.
“Pharaoh said to Jacob how old are you?”
“Pharaoh said to Jacob, how many years have you lived?”
“And Pharaoh said unto Jacob, How old art thou?”
“and Pharaoh said unto Jacob. How old art thou?”
“Pharaoh said to Jacob how many years have you lived.”
“And Pharaoh said unto Jacob, how old art thou?”
9"My travels have lasted 130 years," Jacob replied. "My years have been few and hard, and they have not matched the years of the travels of my fathers."
“So Jacob said to Pharaoh the years of my sojourning are one hundred and thirty. Few and unpleasant have been the years of my life nor have they attained the years that my fathers lived during the days of their sojourning.”
“And Jacob said unto Pharaoh, the ninth verse, the days of the years of my pilgrimage are 130 years. Few and evil have the days of the years of my life been and have not attained unto the days of the years of the life of my…”
“Jacob said unto Pharaoh, The days of the years of my pilgrimage are 130 years. Few and evil have the days of the years of my life been, and I have not attained unto the days of the years of the life of my fathers in the days of…”
“And Jacob said unto Pharaoh, The days of the years of my pilgrimage are 130 years. Few and evil have been the days of the years of my life, and have not attained under the days of the years of the life of my fathers in the days…”
10Then Jacob blessed Pharaoh and departed from his presence.
“And Jacob blessed Pharaoh, and went out from before Pharaoh.".”
“And Jacob blessed Pharaoh, and went out from before Pharaoh.”
“And Jacob blessed Pharaoh and went out from before Pharaoh.”
“and Jacob blessed Pharaoh and went out from his presence.”
“And Jacob blessed Pharaoh again and went out from before Pharaoh.”
11So Joseph settled his father and brothers in the land of Egypt and gave them property in the best part of the land, the district of Rameses, as Pharaoh had commanded.
“so Joseph settled his father and his brothers and gave them a possession in the land of Egypt, in the best of the land, in the land of Ramesses, as Pharaoh had ordered.”
“"...And Joseph placed his father and his brethren, and gave them a possession in the land of Egypt, in the best of the land, in the land of Ramesses, as Pharaoh had commanded.".”
“And Joseph placed his father and his brethren. And gave them a possession in the land of Egypt in the best of the land in the land of remises as Pharaoh had commanded.”
“And Joseph situated his father and his brothers and gave them possessions in the land of Egypt in the best of the land, in the land of Ramesses, as Pharaoh had commanded.”
12Joseph also provided his father and brothers and all his father's household with food for their families.
“"...And Joseph nourished his father and his brethren, all his father's household, with bread according to their families.”
“Joseph provided his father and brothers and all his father's household with food according to their little ones.”
“And Joseph nourished his father and his brethren on all his father's household with bread according to their families.”
“And Joseph nourished his father and his brethren, all his father's household, with bread according to their families.”
13There was no food, however, in all that region, because the famine was so severe; the lands of Egypt and Canaan had been exhausted by the famine.
“There was no bread in all the land, for the famine was very sore, so that the land of Egypt and all the land of Canaan fainted by reason of the famine.".”
“And there was no bread in all the land for the famine was very sore, so that the land of Egypt and all the land of Cain had fainted by reason of the famine.”
“Now there was no food in the land because the famine was very severe so that the land of Egypt and the land of Canaan languished because of the famine.”
“And there was no bread in all the land, for the famine was very sore. So the land of Egypt and all the land of Canaan fainted by reason of the famine.”
“And there was no bread at all in the land for the famine was very severe. So that the land of Egypt and all the land of Canaan fainted by reason of the famine.”
14Joseph collected all the money to be found in the land of Egypt and the land of Canaan in exchange for the grain they were buying, and he brought it into Pharaoh's palace.
“And Joseph gathered up all of the money that was found in the land of Egypt and in the land of Canaan for the corn which they bought. And Joseph brought the money into Pharaoh's house.”
“"...And Joseph gathered up all the money that was found in the land of Egypt and in the land of Canaan, for the corn which they bought. And Joseph brought the money unto Pharaoh's house.".”
“And Joseph gathered up all the money that was found in the land of Egypt and in the land of Canaan for the grain which they bought. And Joseph brought the money unto Pharaoh's house.”
“Joseph gathered all the money that was found in the land of Canaan in Egypt and in the land of Canaan for the grain which they bought and Joseph brought the money into Pharaoh's house.”
“And Joseph gathered up all the money that was found in the land of Egypt and the land of Canaan for the corn which they bought. And Joseph brought the money into Pharaoh's house.”
“gather up all the money that was found the land of Canaan in Egypt I mean and in the land of Canaan for the grain which they bought and Joseph brought the money into Pharaoh's house.”
15When the money from the lands of Egypt and Canaan was gone, all the Egyptians came to Joseph and said, "Give us food. Why should we die before your eyes? For our funds have run out!"
“When the money was all spent in the land of Egypt and in the land of Canaan all the Egyptians came to Joseph and said give us food for why should we die in your presence for our money is gone.”
“and When money failed in the land of Egypt and in the land of Canaan all the Egyptians came unto Joseph and said give us bread for why. Should we die in thy presence for the money failed?”
“"...when money failed in the land of Egypt, and in the land of Canaan, all the Egyptians came unto Joseph, and said, Give us bread, for why should we die in thy presence? For the money faileth.”
16"Then bring me your livestock," said Joseph. "Since the money is gone, I will sell you food in exchange for your livestock."
“Then Joseph said give up your livestock and I will give you food for your livestock since your money is gone.”
“And Joseph said, Give your cattle, and I'll give you for your cattle, if money fail.”
17So they brought their livestock to Joseph, and he gave them food in exchange for their horses, their flocks and herds, and their donkeys. Throughout that year he provided them with food in exchange for all their livestock.
“So they brought their livestock to Joseph and Joseph gave them food in exchange for the horses and the flocks and the herds and the donkeys and he fed them with food in exchange for all their livestock that year.”
“and they brought their cattle into Joseph and Joseph gave them bread in exchange for horses and for the flocks and for the cattle of The herds and for the asses and he left and he fed them With bread for all their cattle for that…”
“So they brought their livestock to Joseph and Joseph gave them bread in exchange for the horses and the flocks, the cattles, the herds and for the donkeys. And thus he fed them with bread in exchange for all of their livestock…”
“so they brought their cattle, and Joseph gave them food in exchange for the horses and the flocks and the herds and the donkeys. And he fed them with food in exchange for all their livestock that year.”
18When that year was over, they came to him the second year and said, "We cannot hide from our lord that our money is gone and all our livestock belongs to you. There is nothing left for our lord except our bodies and our land.
“when that year had ended, they came to him the next year and they said to him, we will not hide from my Lord that our money is gone. My Lord also has our herds of livestock. There's nothing left in the sight of my Lord, but our…”
“when that year was ended they came to him the next year and said to him we will not hide from our Lord that our money is all spent and the cattle are my Lord's. There is nothing left for my Lord except our bodies and our lands.”
19Why should we perish before your eyes—we and our land as well? Purchase us and our land in exchange for food. Then we, along with our land, will be slaves to Pharaoh. Give us seed that we may live and not die, and that the land may not become desolate."
“why should we die before your eyes, both we and our land by us and our land for bread. And we and our land will be servants of Pharaoh, give us seed that we may live and not die that the land may not be desolate.”
“why should we die before your eyes both we and our land. Buy us and our land for food and we and our land will be slaves to Pharaoh. So give us seed that we may live and not die and that the land may not be desolate.”
“Wherefore, shall we die before thine eyes, both we and our land? Buy us now and our land for bread. We and our land will be servants unto Pharaoh. And give us seed that we may live and not die and that the land be not desolate.”
“Wherefore shall we die before thine eyes both we and our land by us and our land for bread and we and our land will Be servants unto Pharaoh and give us seed that we may live and not die that the land may not be desolate.”
20So Joseph acquired for Pharaoh all the land in Egypt; the Egyptians, one and all, sold their fields because the famine was so severe upon them. The land became Pharaoh's,
“Then Joseph bought all of the land of Egypt for Pharaoh for every man of the Egyptians sold his field because the famine was severe upon them. So the land became Pharaoh's.”
“So Joseph bought all the land of Egypt for Pharaoh for every Egyptian sold his field because the famine was severe upon them. Thus the land became Pharaoh's.”
“And Joseph bought all the land of Egypt for Pharaoh. For the Egyptians sold every man his field because the famine prevailed over them. So the land became Pharaoh's.”
“And Joseph, verse 20, "...bought all the land of Egypt for Pharaoh, for the Egyptians sold every man his field, because the famine prevailed over them. So the land became Pharaoh's.".”
“Joseph bought all the land of Egypt for Pharaoh. For the Egyptians sold every man his field because the famine prevailed over them. So the land became Pharaoh's”
21and Joseph reduced the people to servitude from one end of Egypt to the other.
“as for the people he removed them to the cities from one end of Egypt's border to the other.”
“And as for the people, he removed them to cities from one end of the borders of Egypt even to the other.”
“"...and as for the people, he removed them to cities from one end of the borders of Egypt, even to the other end”
“And as for the people, he removed them to cities from one end of the border of Egypt even into the other end thereof.”
22However, he did not acquire the priests' portion of the land, for it had been given to them by Pharaoh. They ate the rations that Pharaoh supplied; so they did not sell their land.
“only the land of the priest he did not buy for the priest had rations allotted to them by Pharaoh and they ate their rations which Pharaoh gave them, therefore they did not sell their lands.”
“Only the land of the priests he did not buy for the priests had an allotment from Pharaoh and they lived off the allotment which Pharaoh gave them. Therefore they did not sell their land.”
“"...only the land of the priests bought he not, for the priests had a portion assigned them of Pharaoh, and did eat their portion which Pharaoh gave them, wherefore they sold not their land.”
“only the land of each of the priests bought he not for the priests had a portion assigned them by Pharaoh and did eat Their portion which Pharaoh gave them. Wherefore they sold not their lands.”
“Only the land of the priests bought he not. For the priests had a portion assigned to them of Pharaoh and did eat their portion which Pharaoh gave them. Wherefore, they did not sell their lands.”
23Then Joseph said to the people, "Now that I have acquired you and your land for Pharaoh this day, here is seed for you to sow in the land.
“Then Joseph said unto the people, behold, I have bought you this day, and your land for Pharaoh. Lo, here is seed for you, and ye shall sow the land.”
“Then Joseph said to the people behold I have today bought you and your land for Pharaoh. Now here is seed for you and you may sow the land.”
“Then Joseph said to the people, indeed, I bought you and your land this day for Pharaoh, look, here is seed for you and you shall sow the land”
“Then Joseph said unto the people, Behold, I have bought you this day and your land for Pharaoh. Lo, here is seed for you. You shall sow the land.”
24At harvest time, you are to give a fifth of it to Pharaoh, and four-fifths will be yours as seed for the field and food for yourselves and your households and children."
“at the harvest you shall give a fifth to Pharaoh and four fifths shall be your own for seed of the field and for your food and for those of your households and as food for your little ones.”
“land. It shall come to pass in the increase that ye shall give the fifth part unto Pharaoh, and four parts shall be your own, for seed of the field, and for your food, and for them are your households, and for food for your…”
“it shall come to pass in the increase that ye shall give the fifth part unto Pharaoh, and four parts shall be your own for seed of the field, and for food, your food, and for them of your households, and for food for your little…”
“and it shall come to pass in the harvest that you'll give one -fifth to Pharaoh, four -fifths shall be your own, as seed for the field and for your food, for those of your households and food for your little ones.”
“shall come to pass in the harvest that ye shall give the fifth part unto Pharaoh and Four parts shall be your own. For seed of the field and for your food and for them of your households and for food for your little ones.”
25"You have saved our lives," they said. "We have found favor in our lord's eyes, and we will be Pharaoh's servants."
“So they said, you have saved our lives, let us find favor in the sight of my Lord and we will be Pharaoh's servants.”
“So they said you have saved our lives. Let us find favor in the sight of my Lord and we will be Pharaoh's slaves.”
“And they said, thou hast saved our lives. Let us find grace in thy sight of my Lord, and we will be Pharaoh's servants.”
“they said, You have saved our lives, let us find favor in the sight of my Lord, and we will be Pharaoh's servants.”
“They said thou hast saved our lives let us find grace in the sight of my Lord and we will be Pharaoh's servants”
26So Joseph established a law that a fifth of the produce belongs to Pharaoh, and it is in effect in the land of Egypt to this day. Only the priests' land does not belong to Pharaoh.
“And Joseph made it a law over the land of Egypt to this day that Pharaoh should have one -fifth except for the land of the priest only, which did not become Pharaoh's.”
“And Joseph made it a law over the land of Egypt unto this day that Pharaoh should have the fifth part, except the land of the priests only, which became not Pharaoh's.”
“"...Joseph made it a law over the land of Egypt unto this day, that Pharaoh should have the fifth part, except the land of the priests only, which became not Pharaoh's.".”
“Joseph made a statute concerning the land of Egypt valid to this day that Pharaoh should have the fifth. Only the land of the priests did not become Pharaoh's.”
“and Joseph made it a law over the land of Egypt unto this day that Pharaoh should have a fifth part. Except the land of the priests only which became not Pharaoh's.”
“Joseph made it a statute concerning the land of Egypt valid unto this day, that Pharaoh should have the fifth, and only the land of the priests did not become Pharaoh's.”
27Now the Israelites settled in the land of Egypt, in the region of Goshen. They acquired property there and became fruitful and increased greatly in number.
“and Israel dwelt in the land of Egypt in the country of Goshen and they had possessions therein and grew and multiplied exceedingly”
“So Israel dwelt in the land of Egypt in the country of Goshen, and they had their possessions there and they grew and multiplied exceedingly.”
“And Israel dwelt in the land of Egypt in the country of Goshen. And they had possessions therein and grew and multiplied exceedingly.”
“Now Israel, in verse 27, lived in the land of Egypt in Goshen, and they acquired property in it and were fruitful and became very numerous.”
“Now Israel lived in the land of Egypt and Goshen and they acquired property in it and were fruitful and became very numerous.”
28And Jacob lived in the land of Egypt seventeen years, and the length of his life was 147 years.
“Jacob lived in the land of Egypt seventeen years. So the length of Jacob's life was one hundred and forty seven years.”
29When the time drew near for Israel to die, he called his son Joseph and said to him, "If I have found favor in your eyes, put your hand under my thigh and promise to show me kindness and faithfulness. Do not bury me in Egypt,
“When the time drew near that Israel would die, he called his son Joseph and said to him, now, if I have found favor in your sight, please put your hand under my thigh and deal kindly and truly with me. Please do not bury me in…”
“When the time for Israel to die drew near he called his son Joseph and said to him please if I have found favor in your sight place now your hand under my thigh and deal with me in kindness and faithfulness. Please do not bury me…”
“And the time drew nigh that Israel must die, Jacob. And he called his son Joseph and said unto him, If now I have found grace in Thy sight, put, I pray thee, Thy hand under my thigh and deal kindly and truly with me. Bury me not,…”
“the time drew nigh, Genesis 47, 29, that Israel must die. And he called his son Joseph and said to him, if now I have found grace in thy sight, put, I pray thee, thy hand under my thigh and deal kindly and truly with me. Bury me…”
30but when I lie down with my fathers, carry me out of Egypt and bury me with them." Joseph answered, "I will do as you have requested."
“But when I lie down with my fathers you shall carry me out of Egypt and bury me in their burial place. And he said I will do as you have said.”
“but I will lie with my father's and thou shalt carry me out of Egypt and Bury me in their burying place and he said I will do as thou has said.”
31"Swear to me," Jacob said. So Joseph swore to him, and Israel bowed in worship at the head of his bed.
“he said swear to me. So he swore to him. Then Israel bowed in worship at the head of the bed.”
“he said, swear to me, and he swore to him. So Israel bowed himself on the head of his bed”
“And he said swear unto me and he swore unto him and Israel bowed himself upon his beds head.”
