01:047:024 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.
01:047:025 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.
01:047:026 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.
01:047:027 And Israel dwelt in the land of Egypt,
in the country of
Goshen;
and they had possessions therein, and grew, and
multiplied
exceedingly.
01:047:028 And Jacob lived in the land of Egypt seventeen
years: so the
whole
age of Jacob was an hundred forty and seven years.
01:047:029 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:
01:047:030 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.
01:047:031 And he said, Swear unto me. And he
sware unto him. And Israel
bowed
himself upon the bed’s head.
01:048:001 And it came to pass after these things,
that one told Joseph,
Behold,
thy father is sick: and he took with him his two
sons,
Manasseh
and Ephraim.
01:048:002 And one told Jacob, and said, Behold, thy
son Joseph cometh
unto
thee: and Israel strengthened himself, and sat
upon the
bed.
01:048:003 And Jacob said unto Joseph, God Almighty
appeared unto me at
Luz
in the land of Canaan, and blessed me,
01:048:004 And said 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 seed after thee for an
everlasting
possession.
01:048:005 And now thy two sons, Ephraim and Manasseh,
which were born
unto
thee in the land of Egypt before I came unto thee into
Egypt,
are mine; as Reuben and Simeon, they shall be mine.
01:048:006 And thy issue, which thou begettest after
them, shall be
thine,
and shall be called after the name of their brethren
in
their
inheritance.
01:048:007 And as for me, when I came from Padan,
Rachel died by me in
the
land of Canaan in the way, when yet there was but a
little
way
to come unto Ephrath: and I buried her there in
the way of
Ephrath;
the same is Bethlehem.
