9 And Jacob faid 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 And Jacob bleffed Pharaoh, and went out from before Pharaoh.

11 ¶ And Joseph placed his father and his brethren, and gave them a potfeflion ia the land of Egypt, in the beft of the land, in the land of Ramefes, as Pharaoh had commanded.

20 And Jofeph bought all the land of Egypt for Pharaoh; for the Egyptians fold every man his field, because the famine prevailed over them: fo the land became Pharaoh's.

21 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 Only the land of the priests bought he not; for the priests had a portion afigned them of Pharaoh, and did eat their portion which Pharaoh gave them : wherefore they fold not their lands.

25 Then Jofeph faid unto the people, Behold, I have bought you this day and your land, for Pharaoh: lo, here is feed for you, and ye fhall fow the land.

24 And it fhall come to pafs in the increafe, that ye fhall give the fifth part unto Pharaoh, and four parts fhall be your own, for feed of the field, and for your food, and for them of your households, and for food for your little ones.

25 And they faid. Thou haft faved our lives; let us find grace in the fight of my lord, and we will be Pharaoh's fervants.

26 And Jofeph made it a law over the land of Egypt unto this day, that Pharaoh fhould have the fifth part; except the land of the priests only, which became not Pharaoh's

12 And Jofeph nourished his father, and his brethren, and all his father's household, with bread according to their families. 13 And there was no bread in all the land; for the famine was very fore. fo that the land of Egypt and all the land of 27 And Ifrael dwelt in the land of F Canaan fainted by reafon of the famine. gypt, in the country of Gothen: and they 14 And Jofeph gathered up all the mon- had poffeffions therein, and grew, and ey that was found in the land of Egypt, multiplied exceedingly. and in the land of Canaan. for the corn which they bought: and Jofeph brought the money into Pharaoh's house.

15 And when money failed in the land of Egypt, and in the land of Canaan, all the Egyptians came unto Jofeph, and faid, Give us bread: for why fhould we die in thy prefence? for the money faileth

16 And Jofeph faid Give your cattle; and I will give you for your cattle, if money fail.

17 And they brought their cattle unto Jofeph and fofeph gave them bread in exchange for horfes, and for the flocks, and for the cattle of the herds, and for the afes: and he fed them with bread for all their cattle for that year.

28 And Jacob lived in the land of E. gypt feventeen years: fo the whole age of Jacob was an hundred forty and seven years.

29 And the time drew nigh that Ifrael mult die: and he called his fon Jofeph, and faid unto him, if now I have found grace in thy fight, put, I pray thee, thy hand under my thigh, and deal kindly and truly with me; bury me not, I pray thee, in Egypt:

SO But I will lie with my fathers, and thou thalt carry me out of Egypt, and bury me in their burying-place. And he faid, I will do as thou haft faid.

Almighty appeared unto me at Luz in
the land of Canaan, and bielfed me,

4 And faid unto me, Behold, I will make thee fruitful, and multiply thee, and I will make of thee a multitude of people; and will give this land to thy feed after thee for an everlasting poffellion.

5 And now thy two fons, Ephraim and Manaffeh, which were born unto thee in the land of Egypt before I came unto thee into Egypt, are nine; as Reuben and Simeon, they thall be mine.

6 And thy iffe, which thou begetteft after them, thall be thine, and thall be called after the name of their brethren in their inheritance.

8 And Ifrael beheld Jofeph's fons, and faid, Who are these?

And he faid, Bring them I pray thee, unto me, and I will blefs them. 10 Now the eyes of Ifrael were dim for age, fortat he could not fee. And he brought them near unto him; and he kiffed them, and embraced them.

11 And Ifrael faid unto Jofeph, I had not thought to fee thy face: and, lo, God hath fhewed me alfo thy feed.

12 And Jofeph brought them out from between his knees, and he bowed himself with his face to the earth.

13 And Jofeph took them both, Ephraim in his right hand toward Ifrael's left hand, and Manafeh in his left hand toward Ifrael's right hand, and brought them near unto him.

14 And Ifrael ftretched out his right hand, and laid it upon Ephraim's head, who was the younger, and his left hand upon Manaffeh's head, guiding his hands wittingly; for Manalleh was the firstborn.

15 And he bleffed Jofeph, and faid, God, before whom my fathers Abraham and Ifaac did walk, the God which fed me all my life long unto this day,

16 The Angel which redeemed me from all evil. blefs the ads; and let my name be named on them, and the name of my fathers Abraham and Ifaac; and let them grow into a multitude in the midst of the earth.

19 And his father refufed, and faid know it, my fon, I know it: he alfo hall become a people, and he also thali be great; but truly his younger brother thall be greater than he, and his feed thall become a multitude of nations.

20 And he bletfed them that day, faying, In thee fhall Ifrael blefs, faying, God make thee as Ephraim and as Manaffeh : and he fet Ephraim before Manafeh

211 And Ifrael faid unto Jofeph, Behold, I die: but God fhall be with you, and bring you again unto the land of your fathers,

The mourning for Jacob. 7 The funeral. 24 Jofeph prophefieth to his brethren of their return. 26 His death.

AND Jofeph fell upon his father's face and wept upon him, and killed him.

2 And Jofeph commanded his fervants the physicians to embalm his father: and the physicians embalmed Hraci.

:

S And forty days were fulfilled for him for fo are fulfilled the days of thofe which are embalmed: and the Egyptians giv-mourned for him threefcore and ten days.

22 Jofeph is a fruitful bough, even a fruitful bough by a well; whose branches run over the wall:

23 The archers have forely greived him: and fhot at him, and hated him : 24 But his bow abode in ftrength, and the arms of his hands were made ftrong by the hands of the mighty God of lacob; (from thence is the thepherd, the ftone of Itrael :)

4 And when the days of his mourning were paft, Joseph spake unto the house of Pharaoh, faying, If now I have found grace in your eyes, fpeak, I pray you, in the ears of Pharaoh, faying,

5 My father made me fwear, faxing, Lo, I die: in my grave which I have digged for me in the land of Canaan, there fhalt thou bury me. Now therefore let me go up, I pray thee, and bury my father, and I will come again.

23 All these are the twelve tribes of Ifrael and this is it that their father fpake unto them, and bleffed them; every one according to his bleffiing he bleed them. 23 And he charged them and faid unto them, I am to be gathered unto my people: bury me with my fathers in the cave that is in the field of Ephron the Hittite,

Egypt,

9 And there went up with him both chariots and horfemen: and it was a very great company.

10 And they came to the threshing floor of Atad, which is beyond Jordan, and there they mourned with a great and very fore lamentation: and he made a mourning for his father feven days.

11 And when the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites, faw the mourning in the floor of Atai, they faid. This is a grievious mourning to the Egyptians: wherefore the name of it was called Abci. mizraim, which is beyond Jordan.

30 In the cave that is in the field of Machpelah, which is before Mamre, in the land of Canaan, which Abraham bought with the field of Ephron the Hiit-as be commanded them: tite for a poffeffion of a burying-place.

Abraham bought with the field for a poffeffion of a burying-place, of Ephron the Hittite, before Mamre.

14 And ofeph returned into Egypt, he, and his brethren, and all that went up! with him to bury his father, after he had buried his father.

15 And when Jofeph's brethren faw that their father was dead, they faid, Jofeph will peradventure hate us, and will certainly requite us all the evil which we did unto him

16 And they fent meflengers unto Jofeph, faying, Thy father did command before he died, faying,

The men children faved.

20 But as for you, ye thought evil againft me; but God meant it unto good, to bring to pafs, as it is this day, to fave much people alive.

21 Now therefore fear ye not: I will nourish you and your little ones. And he comforted them, and spake kindly unto them.

22 And Jofeph dwelt in Egypt, he, and his father's houfe: and Jofeph lived an hundred and ten years.

23 And Jofeph faw Ephraim's children of the third generation: the children alfo of Machir the fon of Manaffeh were brought up upon Jofeph's knees. 17 So fhall ye fay unto Jofeph, Forgive, 24 And Jofeph faid unto his brethI pray thee now, the trefpafs of thy brethren, I die: and God will furely vifit you, ren, and their fin: for they did unto thee and bring you out of this land unto the evil: and now we pray thee, forgive the land which he fware to Abraham, to Itrefpafs of the fervants of the God of thy faac, and to Jacob. father. And Jofeph wept when they spake unto him.

18 And his brethren also went and fell down before his face; and they faid, Behold, we be thy fervants.

19 And Jofeph faid unto them, Fear not: for, am I in the place of God?

25 And Jofeph took an oath of the children of Ifrael, saying, God will furely vifit you, and ye fhall carry up my bones from hence.

264 So ofeph died, being an hundred and ten years old and they embalmed him, and he was put in a coffin in Egypt.

7 And the children of Ifrael were fruitful, and increased abundantly, and multiplied, and waxed exceeding nighty; and the land was filled with them.

8 Now there arofe up a new king over Egypt, which knew not Jofeph.

9 And he faid unto his people, Behold, the people of the children of Ifrael are more and mightier than we :

10 Come ouder us deal wifely with them; left they multiply, and it come to pafs, that, when there falleth out any war, they join alfo unto our enemies, and fight against us, and fo get them up out of the land.

17 But the midwives feared God, and did not as the king of Egypt commanded them, but faved the men-children alive.

18 And the king of Egypt called for the midwives, and faid unto them, Why have ye done this thing, and have faved the men-children alive?

19 And the midwives faid unto Pharaoh, Becaufe the Hebrew women are not as the Egyptian women; for they are lively, and are delivered ere the midwives come in unto them.

20 Therefore God dealt well with the midwives:
