26 The total number of Jacob’s direct descendants who went with him to Egypt, not counting his sons’ wives, was sixty-six. 27 In addition,
Joseph had two sons* who were born in Egypt.
So altogether, there were seventy* members of
Jacob’s family in the land of Egypt.
Jacob’s Family Arrives in Goshen •
GENESIS 46:28-34
28 As they neared their destination, Jacob sent
Judah ahead to meet Joseph and get directions
to the region of Goshen. And when they finally
arrived there, 29 Joseph prepared his chariot and
traveled to Goshen to meet his father, Jacob.
When Joseph arrived, he embraced his father
and wept, holding him for a long time. 30 Finally,
Jacob said to Joseph, “Now I am ready to die, since
I have seen your face again and know you are still
alive.”
31And Joseph said to his brothers and to his father’s entire family, “I will go to Pharaoh and tell
him, ‘My brothers and my father’s entire family have come to me from the land of Canaan.
32 These men are shepherds, and they raise livestock. They have brought with them their flocks
and herds and everything they own.’”
33 Then he said, “When Pharaoh calls for you
and asks you about your occupation, 34 you must
tell him, ‘We, your servants, have raised livestock
all our lives, as our ancestors have always done.’
When you tell him this, he will let you live here in
the region of Goshen, for the Egyptians despise
shepherds.”

1 Then Joseph went to see Pharaoh and told him,
“My father and my brothers have arrived from
the land of Canaan. They have come with all
their flocks and herds and possessions, and they
are now in the region of Goshen.”
Joseph’s Leadership in the Famine •
GENESIS 47:13-27
Meanwhile, the famine became so severe that
all the food was used up, and people were starving throughout the lands of Egypt and Canaan.
14 By selling grain to the people, Joseph eventually
collected all the money in Egypt and Canaan, and
he put the money in Pharaoh’s treasury. 15 When
the people of Egypt and Canaan ran out of money,
all the Egyptians came to Joseph. “Our money is
gone!” they cried. “But please give us food, or we
will die before your very eyes!”
16 Joseph replied, “Since your money is gone,
bring me your livestock. I will give you food in
exchange for your livestock.” 17 So they brought
their livestock to Joseph in exchange for food. In
exchange for their horses, flocks of sheep and
goats, herds of cattle, and donkeys, Joseph provided them with food for another year.

46:20 Greek version reads of Heliopolis. 46:27a Greek version reads
nine sons, probably including Joseph’s grandsons through Ephraim and
Manasseh (see 1 Chr 7:14-20). 46:27b Greek version reads seventy-five;
see note on Exod 1:5.

2 Joseph took five of his brothers with him
and presented them to Pharaoh. 3And Pharaoh
asked the brothers, “What is your occupation?”
They replied, “We, your servants, are shepherds, just like our ancestors. 4 We have come
to live here in Egypt for a while, for there is no
pasture for our flocks in Canaan. The famine is
very severe there. So please, we request permission to live in the region of Goshen.”
5 Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Now that
your father and brothers have joined you here,
6 choose any place in the entire land of Egypt for
them to live. Give them the best land of Egypt.
Let them live in the region of Goshen. And if any
of them have special skills, put them in charge
of my livestock, too.”
7 Then Joseph brought in his father, Jacob, and
presented him to Pharaoh. And Jacob blessed
Pharaoh.
8 “How old are you?” Pharaoh asked him.
9 Jacob replied, “I have traveled this earth for
130 hard years. But my life has been short compared to the lives of my ancestors.” 10 Then Jacob
blessed Pharaoh again before leaving his court.
11 So Joseph assigned the best land of Egypt—
the region of Rameses—to his father and his
brothers, and he settled them there, just as Pharaoh had commanded. 12And Joseph provided
food for his father and his brothers in amounts
appropriate to the number of their dependents,
including the smallest children.
