절	Contemporary English Version (2006)	King James Version
1	—	Then Joseph came and told Pharaoh, and said, My father and my brethren, 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.
2	Joseph took five of his brothers to the king and told him, “My father and my brothers have come from Canaan. They have brought their sheep, goats, cattle, and everything else they own to the region of Goshen.” Then he introduced his brothers to the king,	And he took some of his brethren, even five men, and presented them unto Pharaoh.
3	who asked them, “What do you do for a living?” “Sir, we are shepherds,” was their answer. “Our families have always raised sheep.	And Pharaoh said unto his brethren, What is your occupation? And they said unto Pharaoh, Thy servants are shepherds, both we, and also our fathers.
4	But in our country all the pastures are dried up, and our sheep have no grass to eat. So we, your servants, have come here. Please let us live in the region of Goshen.”	They said moreover unto Pharaoh, For to sojourn in the land are 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 land of Goshen.
5	The king said to Joseph, “It's good that your father and brothers have arrived.	And Pharaoh spake unto Joseph, saying, Thy father and thy brethren are come unto thee:
6	I will let them live anywhere they choose in the land of Egypt, but I suggest that they settle in Goshen, the best part of our land. I would also like for your finest shepherds to watch after my own sheep and goats.”	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 men of activity among them, then make them rulers over my cattle.
7	Then Joseph brought his father Jacob and introduced him to the king. Jacob gave the king his blessing,	And Joseph brought in Jacob his father, and set him before Pharaoh: and Jacob blessed Pharaoh.
8	and the king asked him, “How old are you?”	And Pharaoh said unto Jacob, How old art thou?
9	Jacob answered, “I have lived only 130 years, and I have had to move from place to place. My parents and my grandparents also had to move from place to place. But they lived much longer, and their life was not as hard as mine.”	And Jacob said unto Pharaoh, 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 fathers in the days of their pilgrimage.
10	Then Jacob gave the king his blessing once again and left.	And Jacob blessed Pharaoh, and went out from before Pharaoh.
11	Joseph obeyed the king's orders and gave his father and brothers some of the best land in Egypt near the city of Rameses.	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 Rameses, as Pharaoh had commanded.
12	Joseph also provided food for their families.	And Joseph nourished his father, and his brethren, and all his father’s household, with bread, according to their families.
13	A Famine in Egypt The famine was bad everywhere in Egypt and Canaan, and the people were suffering terribly.	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 Canaan fainted by reason of the famine.
14	So Joseph sold them the grain that had been stored up, and he put the money in the king's treasury.	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 into Pharaoh’s house.
15	But when everyone had run out of money, the Egyptians came to Joseph and demanded, “Give us more grain! If you don't, we'll soon be dead, because our money's all 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 faileth.
16	“If you don't have any money,” Joseph answered, “give me your animals, and I'll let you have some grain.”	And Joseph said, Give your cattle; and I will give you for your cattle, if money fail.
17	From then on, they brought him their horses and donkeys and their sheep and goats in exchange for grain. Within a year Joseph had collected every animal in Egypt.	And they brought their cattle unto 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 fed them with bread for all their cattle for that year.
18	Then the people came to him and said: Sir, there's no way we can hide the truth from you. We are broke, and we don't have any more animals. We have nothing left except ourselves and our land.	When that year was ended, they came unto him the second year, and said unto him, We will not hide it from my lord, how that our money is spent; my lord also hath our herds of cattle; there is not ought left in the sight of my lord, but our bodies, and our lands:
19	Don't let us starve and our land be ruined. If you'll give us grain to eat and seed to plant, we'll sell ourselves and our land to the king. We'll become his slaves.	Wherefore shall we die before thine eyes, both we and our land? buy 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 be not desolate.
20	The famine became so severe that Joseph finally bought every piece of land in Egypt for the king	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.
21	and made everyone the king's slaves,	And as for the people, he removed them to cities from one end of the borders of Egypt even to the other end thereof.
22	except the priests. The king gave the priests a regular food allowance, so they did not have to 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 lands.
23	Then Joseph said to the people, “You and your land now belong to the king. I'm giving you seed to plant,	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.
24	but one fifth of your crops must go to the king. You can keep the rest as seed or as food for your families.”	And 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 of your households, and for food for your little ones.
25	“Sir, you have saved our lives!” they answered. “We are glad to be slaves of the king.”	And they said, Thou hast saved our lives: let us find grace in the sight of my lord, and we will be Pharaoh’s servants.
26	Then Joseph made a law that one fifth of the harvest would always belong to the king. Only the priests did not lose their land.	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.
27	Jacob Becomes an Old Man The people of Israel made their home in the land of Goshen, where they became prosperous and had large families.	And Israel dwelt in the land of Egypt, in the country of Goshen; and they had possessions therein, and grew, and multiplied exceedingly.
28	Jacob himself lived there for 17 years, before dying at the age of 147.	And Jacob lived in the land of Egypt seventeen years: so the whole age of Jacob was an hundred forty and seven years.
29	When Jacob knew he did not have long to live, he called in Joseph and said, “If you really love me, you must make a solemn promise not to bury me in Egypt.	And the time drew nigh that Israel must die: 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, I pray thee, in Egypt:
30	Instead, bury me in the place where my ancestors are buried.” “I will do what you have asked,” Joseph answered.	But I will lie with my fathers, and thou shalt carry me out of Egypt, and bury me in their buryingplace. And he said, I will do as thou hast said.
31	“Will you give me your word?” Jacob asked. “Yes, I will,” Joseph promised. After this, Jacob bowed down and prayed at the head of his bed.	And he said, Swear unto me. And he sware unto him. And Israel bowed himself upon the bed’s head.
