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

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

9 And Jacob said unto Pharaoh, The days of my sojourn are a hundred and thirty years; The days of my life are small and miserable, and have not reached the years of my fathers' lives in the days of their pilgrimage.

10 And Jacob blessed Pharaoh, and went out from Pharaoh.

11 And Joseph settled his father and his brethren, and gave them a dominion in the land of Egypt, in the best part of the land, in the land of Ramesses, as Pharaoh had commanded.

12 And Joseph supplied his father, and his brethren, and all his father's house, with bread, according to the needs of every family.

13 And there was no bread in all the land, for the famine was great, and the land of Egypt and the land of Canaan were weary of famine.

14 Joseph gathered up all the money that was in the land of Egypt and in the land of Canaan for the bread that was bought, and Joseph brought the silver into the house of Pharaoh.

15 And the silver was exhausted in the land of Egypt and in the land of Canaan. All the Egyptians came to Joseph and said, "Give us bread; Why should we die before you, because the silver has gone out of us?

16 Joseph said, "Bring your cattle, and I will give you [bread] for your cattle, if you have lost the money."

17 And they drove their cattle to Joseph; And Joseph gave them bread for horses, and for flocks, and for herds of herds, and for asses; and he supplied them with corn that year for all their cattle.

18 And this year passed; And they came to him the next year, and said unto him, Let us not conceal from our lord that the silver is exhausted, and that our lord's flocks of our cattle are exhausted. Nothing remains with us before our lord except our bodies and our lands;

19 Why should we perish in thy sight, both for us and for our lands? Buy us and our lands for bread, and we and our lands will be Pharaoh's servants, and you give us seed, so that we may live, and not die, and the earth may not be desolate.

20 And Joseph bought all the land of Egypt for Pharaoh, because the Egyptians had sold every one of his fields, for famine was in their power. And the land went to Pharaoh.
