New American Standard Bible (NASB)

Genesis 47
⁵ Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, "Your father and your brothers have come to you.
⁶ The land of Egypt is at your disposal; settle your father and your brothers in the best of the land, let them live in the land of Goshen; and if you know any capable men among them, then put them in charge of my livestock."
⁷ Then Joseph brought his father Jacob and presented him to Pharaoh; and Jacob blessed Pharaoh.
⁸ Pharaoh said to Jacob, "How many years have you lived?"
⁹ So Jacob said to Pharaoh, "The years of my sojourning are one hundred and thirty; few and unpleasant have been the years of my life, nor have they attained the years that my fathers lived during the days of their sojourning."
¹⁰ And Jacob blessed Pharaoh, and went out from his presence.
¹¹ So Joseph settled his father and his brothers and gave them a possession in the land of Egypt, in the best of the land, in the land of Rameses, as Pharaoh had ordered.
¹² Joseph provided his father and his brothers and all his father’s household with food, according to their little ones.
¹³ Now there was no food in all the land, because the famine was very severe, so that the land of Egypt and the land of Canaan languished because of the famine.
¹⁴ Joseph gathered all the money that was found in the land of Egypt and in the land of Canaan for the grain which they bought, and Joseph brought the money into Pharaoh’s house.
¹⁵ When the money was all spent in the land of Egypt and in the land of Canaan, all the Egyptians came to Joseph and said, "Give us food, for why should we die in your presence? For our money is gone."
