47:1 Then Yosef (יוסף) came and told Paroh, and said, My avi and my achim (brethren), and their flocks, and their herds, and all that they have, are come out of eretz Kenaan; and, hinnei, they [are] in eretz Goshen.
47:2 And he took some of his achim (brethren), [even] five men, and presented them unto Paroh.
47:3 And Paroh said unto his achim (brethren), What [is] your occupation? And they said unto Paroh, Thy avadim [are] shepherds, both we, [and] also our avot.
47:4 They said moreover unto Paroh, For to sojourn in the eretz are we come; for thy avadim have no pasture for their flocks; for the ra'av (famine) [is] sore in eretz Kenaan: now therefore, we pray thee, let thy avadim dwell in eretz Goshen.
47:5 And Paroh spake unto Yosef (יוסף), saying, avicha and thy achim (brethren) are come unto thee:
47:6 eretz Mitzrayim [is] before thee; in the best of the eretz make avicha and achim (brethren) to dwell; in eretz Goshen let them dwell: and if thou knowest [any] men of activity among them, then make them rulers over my cattle.
47:7 And Yosef (יוסף) brought in Yaakov his avi, and set him before Paroh: and Yaakov blessed Paroh.
47:8 And Paroh said unto Yaakov, How old [art] thou?
47:9 And Yaakov said unto Paroh, The days of the years of my pilgrimage [are] an hundred and thirty 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 avot in the days of their pilgrimage.
47:10 And Yaakov blessed Paroh, and went out from before Paroh.
47:11 (vii) And Yosef (יוסף) placed his avi and his achim (brethren), and gave them a possession in eretz Mitzrayim, in the best of the eretz, in eretz Rameses, as Paroh had commanded.
47:12 And Yosef (יוסף) nourished his avi, and his achim (brethren), and all his father's household, with bread, according to [their] families.
47:13 And [there was] no bread in all the eretz; for the ra'av (famine) [was] very sore, so that eretz Mitzrayim and [all] eretz Kenaan fainted by reason of the ra'av (famine).
47:14 And Yosef (יוסף) gathered up all the money that was found in eretz Mitzrayim, and in eretz Kenaan, for the corn which they bought: and Yosef (יוסף) brought the money into Paroh's house.
47:15 And when money failed in eretz Mitzrayim, and in eretz Kenaan, all the Mitzrites came unto Yosef (יוסף), and said, Give us bread: for why should we die in thy presence? for the money faileth.
47:16 And Yosef (יוסף) said, Give your cattle; and I will give you for your cattle, if money fail.
47:17 And they brought their cattle unto Yosef (יוסף): and Yosef (יוסף) gave them bread [in exchange] for horses, and for the flocks, and for the cattle of the herds, and for the asses: and he fed them with bread for all their cattle for that year.
47:18 When that year was ended, they came unto him the second year, and said unto him, We will not hide [it] from my master, how that our money is spent; my master also hath our herds of cattle; there is not ought left in the sight of my master, but our bodies, and our eretzs:
47:19 Wherefore shall we die before thine eyes, both we and our eretz? buy us and our eretz for bread, and we and our eretz will be avadim unto Paroh: and give [us] zera, that we may live, and not die, that the eretz be not desolate.
47:20 And Yosef (יוסף) bought all eretz Mitzrayim for Paroh; for the Mitzrites sold every man his field, because the ra'av (famine) prevailed over them: so the eretz became Paroh's.
47:21 And as for the people, he removed them to cities from [one] end of the borders of Mitzrayim even to the [other] end thereof.
47:22 Only eretz the priests bought he not; for the priests had a portion [assigned them] of Paroh, and did eat their portion which Paroh gave them: wherefore they sold not their eretzs.
47:23 Then Yosef (יוסף) said unto the people, hinnei, I have bought you this day and your eretz for Paroh: lo, [here is] zera for you, and ye shall sow the eretz.
47:24 And it shall come to pass in the increase, that ye shall give the fifth [part] unto Paroh, and four parts shall be your own, for zera of the field, and for your food, and for them of your households, and for food for your little ones.
47:25 (Maftir) And they said, Thou hast saved our lives: let us find grace in the sight of my master, and we will be Paroh's avadim.
47:26 And Yosef (יוסף) made it a law over eretz Mitzrayim unto this day, [that] Paroh should have the fifth [part]; except eretz the priests only, [which] became not Paroh's.
47:27 And Yisrael dwelt in eretz Mitzrayim, in the country of Goshen; and they had possessions therein, and grew, and multiplied exceedingly.

Brit Hadashah Acts 7:9-16 (Specifically vv 13-15); Matthew 23, 24 2547:28 (i) And Yaakov lived in eretz Mitzrayim seventeen years: so the whole age of Yaakov was an hundred forty and seven years.
47:29 And the time drew nigh that Yisrael must die: and he called his son Yosef (יוסף), 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, I pray thee, in Mitzrayim:
47:30 But I will lie with my avot, and thou shalt carry me out of Mitzrayim, and bury me in their buryingplace. And he said, I will do as thou hast said.
47:31 And he said, Swear unto me. And he sware unto him. And Yisrael bowed himself upon the bed's head.
