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.
