雅各全家定居埃及
47 約瑟來到法老面前，對他說：「我父親和我的弟兄們已經帶著他們的羊群、牛群和所有的一切從迦南來了，現在就在歌珊。」 2 約瑟從弟兄中帶了五個人去見法老。 3 法老問他們：「你們做什麼工作？」他們回答說：「僕人們祖祖輩輩都是牧羊的。 4 迦南的饑荒很嚴重，羊群沒有草吃，所以我們到這裡來寄居，求你准許僕人們住在歌珊。」 5 法老對約瑟說：「你父親和弟兄們都來了， 6 整個埃及就在你面前，儘管安排他們住在國中最好的地方。他們可以住在歌珊。如果你知道他們中間有能幹的人，可以派他們看管我的牲畜。」
7 約瑟又帶父親雅各去見法老，雅各就為法老祝福。 8 法老問雅各：「你多大歲數了？」 9 雅各回答說：「我在世上寄居一百三十年了，我的日子又苦又短，不像我祖先那樣高壽。」 10 雅各為法老祝福後，就告退了。 11 約瑟遵照法老之命把埃及最好的地方——蘭塞境內的土地給他父親和弟兄們居住，作他們的產業。 12 約瑟按各家人口提供糧食給父親、弟兄及其他家人。
饑荒
13 饑荒很嚴重，到處都缺糧，埃及和迦南都飽受饑荒之苦。 14 約瑟把埃及人和迦南人向他買糧的銀子收集起來，存放在法老的庫房裡。 15 埃及人和迦南人的銀子都用光了，埃及人就來見約瑟，對他說：「我們的錢財都用光了，求你給我們糧食，免得我們餓死在你面前。」 16 約瑟說：「你們的錢財如果用盡了，可以用你們的牲畜來交換糧食。」 17 於是，他們把牲畜趕到約瑟那裡，用他們的牛、羊、驢和馬跟約瑟換糧食。那一年，他們就依靠換來的糧食生活。
18 到了第二年，他們又來見約瑟，對他說：「不瞞我主，我們的錢都用光了，牲畜也給你了，除了我們自己和田地以外，我們一無所有。 19 求你不要讓我們人死地荒。我們願意用自己和我們的田地來換糧食，我們和我們的田地都歸法老。求你給我們種子，我們好活下去，不致餓死，土地也不致荒廢。」
20 埃及人為饑荒所迫，紛紛賣掉自己的田地。約瑟替法老收購了埃及全國的田地，最後，所有的田地都歸法老了。 21 約瑟使埃及全境的人都成為法老的奴僕。 22 約瑟唯獨沒有買祭司的田地，因為祭司吃法老的俸祿，有足夠的供給，不用賣地。 23 約瑟對百姓說：「我為法老買了你們和你們的土地，這裡有種子，你們可以拿去耕種。 24 但是你們要把收成的五分之一給法老，其餘的，你們可以留下來作種子和全家人的口糧。」 25 他們說：「你救了我們的命，求你恩待我們，讓我們做法老的奴僕吧。」 26 於是，約瑟立下一條法令，到今天還有效，就是埃及出產的五分之一歸給法老。只有祭司的田地不歸法老。
27 以色列人住在埃及的歌珊，在那裡獲得了產業，人口興旺。 28 雅各在埃及住了十七年，他一共活了一百四十七歲。
29 他快要離世的時候，把兒子約瑟叫來，說：「你如果恩待我，請你把手放在我大腿底下起誓，你會以慈愛和信實待我，不把我葬在埃及。 30 我與祖先同眠後，你要把我帶出埃及安葬在我祖先的身邊。」約瑟說：「我必照你說的做。」 31 雅各要約瑟起誓，約瑟照做了。於是，以色列在床頭[a]敬拜上帝。

Genesis 47
Evangelical Heritage Version
Genesis 47
Evangelical Heritage Version
47 Then Joseph went and told Pharaoh, “My father and my brothers have come from the land of Canaan with their flocks, their herds, and all that they own, and now they are in the land of Goshen.” 2 He took five of his brothers and presented them to Pharaoh.
3 Pharaoh said to his brothers, “What is your occupation?”
They answered Pharaoh, “Your servants are shepherds, both we and our fathers.” 4 They said to Pharaoh, “We have come to reside as aliens in the land, for your servants have no pasture for their flocks, because the famine is severe in the land of Canaan. Now therefore, please let your servants dwell in the land of Goshen.”
5 Pharaoh responded to Joseph, “Your father and your brothers have come to you. 6 The land of Egypt is open to you. Arrange for your father and your brothers to dwell in the best of the land. Let them settle in the land of Goshen. If you know any capable men among them, then put them in charge of my livestock.”
7 Joseph brought Jacob his father and presented him to Pharaoh, and Jacob blessed Pharaoh. 8 Pharaoh said to Jacob, “How many are the days and the years of your life?”
9 Jacob said to Pharaoh, “The days and the years of my wandering are one hundred thirty years. The days and the years of my life have been few and full of trouble, and they have not been as many as the days and the years of the lives of my fathers during the days of their wandering.” 10 Jacob blessed Pharaoh and went out from the presence of Pharaoh.
11 Joseph settled his father and his brothers and gave them property in the land of Egypt, in the best part of the land, in the land of Rameses, as Pharaoh had commanded. 12 Joseph provided his father, his brothers, and all of his father’s household with food, based on the number in their families.
The Famine
13 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 grew weak because of the famine. 14 Joseph collected all the money that was found in the land of Egypt and in the land of Canaan as payment for the grain that they purchased, and Joseph brought the money into Pharaoh’s palace. 15 When all the money in the land of Egypt and in the land of Canaan had been spent, all the Egyptians came to Joseph and said, “Give us bread, for why should we die right in front of your eyes? Look, our money is running out.”
16 So Joseph said, “Give me your livestock, and I will give you food for your livestock if your money is gone.”
17 They brought their livestock to Joseph, and Joseph gave them food in exchange for the horses, and for the flocks, and for the herds, and for the donkeys. He supplied them with food for that year in exchange for all their livestock. 18 When that year was ended, they came to him during the second year and said to him, “We will not hide from my lord the fact that our money is all spent, and the herds of livestock belong to my lord. My lord can see that we have nothing left but our bodies and our lands. 19 Why should we die right in front of your eyes, both we and our land? Purchase us and our land in exchange for bread, and we along with our land will serve Pharaoh. Give us seed, so that we may live and not die, so that the land will not be desolate.”
20 So Joseph purchased all the land in Egypt for Pharaoh, because every man among the Egyptians sold his field, because the famine had them in its grip, and the land became Pharaoh’s. 21 As for the people, he made them all servants from one end of the territory of Egypt all the way to the other end of it.[a] 22 The land that belonged to the priests was the only land that he did not purchase, because the priests had a regular allotment from Pharaoh and ate from the allotment that Pharaoh gave them. That is why they did not sell their land. 23 Then Joseph said to the people, “Since I have purchased you and your land today for Pharaoh, here is seed for you to sow the land. 24 This is what you shall do at the harvests: Give a fifth to Pharaoh, and four fifths will be your own share, which you can use as seed to sow the field and as food for yourselves, for everyone in your household, and for your little ones.”
25 They said, “You have saved our lives! Let us find favor in the sight of my lord, and we will be Pharaoh’s servants.”
26 Joseph made it a regulation concerning the farmland in Egypt to this day, that Pharaoh should receive a fifth of the produce. Only the land of the priests did not become Pharaoh’s.
27 Israel lived in the land of Egypt, in the land of Goshen, and they acquired possessions for themselves there. They were fruitful and multiplied greatly. 28 Jacob lived in the land of Egypt for seventeen years. So the days of Jacob, the years of his life, were one hundred forty-seven years. 29 The time drew near that Israel must die, so he called his son Joseph and said to him, “If now I have found favor in your sight, please put your hand under my thigh and deal kindly and truthfully with me. Please do not bury me in Egypt, 30 but when I rest with my fathers, you are to carry me out of Egypt and bury me in their burial place.”
He said, “I will do as you have said.”
31 He said, “Swear to me,” and he swore to him. Israel bowed himself on the head post of the bed.[b]

Génesis 47
Nueva Versión Internacional (Castilian)
47 José fue a informar al faraón, y le dijo:
―Mi padre y mis hermanos han venido desde Canaán con sus ovejas y sus vacas y todas sus pertenencias. Ya se encuentran en la región de Gosén.
2 Además, José había elegido a cinco de sus hermanos para presentárselos al faraón. 3 Y este les preguntó:
―¿En qué trabajáis?
―Nosotros, tus siervos, somos pastores, al igual que nuestros antepasados —respondieron ellos—. 4 Hemos venido a vivir en este país porque en Canaán ya no hay pastos para nuestros rebaños. ¡Es terrible el hambre que acosa a ese país! Por eso te rogamos que nos permitas vivir en la región de Gosén.
5 Entonces el faraón le dijo a José:
―Tu padre y tus hermanos han venido a estar contigo. 6 La tierra de Egipto está a tu disposición. Haz que se asienten en lo mejor de la tierra; que residan en la región de Gosén. Y, si sabes que hay entre ellos hombres capaces, ponlos a cargo de mi propio ganado.
7 Luego José llevó a Jacob, su padre, y se lo presentó al faraón. Jacob saludó al faraón con reverencia,[a] 8 y el faraón le preguntó:
―¿Cuántos años tienes?
9 ―Ya tengo ciento treinta años —respondió Jacob—. Mis años de andar peregrinando de un lado a otro han sido pocos y difíciles, pero no se comparan con los años de peregrinaje de mis antepasados.
10 Luego Jacob se despidió del faraón con sumo respeto,[b] y se retiró de su presencia.
11 José instaló a su padre y a sus hermanos, y les entregó terrenos en la mejor región de Egipto, es decir, en el distrito de Ramsés, tal como había ordenado el faraón. 12 José también proveyó de alimentos a su padre y a sus hermanos, y a todos sus familiares, según las necesidades de cada uno.
La administración de José
13 El hambre en Egipto y en Canaán era terrible. No había alimento en ninguna parte, y la gente estaba a punto de morir. 14 Todo el dinero que los habitantes de Egipto y de Canaán habían pagado por el alimento, José lo recaudó para depositarlo en el palacio del faraón. 15 Cuando a egipcios y cananeos se les acabó el dinero, los egipcios fueron a ver a José y le reclamaron:
―¡Danos de comer! ¿Hemos de morir en tu presencia solo porque no tenemos más dinero?
16 Y José les contestó:
―Si ya se os acabó el dinero, traed vuestro ganado y, a cambio, os daré alimento.
17 Los egipcios llevaron a José su ganado, es decir, sus caballos, vacas, ovejas y asnos, y a cambio de ellos José les dio alimento durante todo ese año. 18 Al año siguiente fueron a decirle a José:
―Señor, no podemos ocultar el hecho de que ya no tenemos más dinero, y de que todo nuestro ganado ya es de nuestro señor. Ya no tenemos nada que ofrecer a nuestro señor, excepto nuestros propios cuerpos y nuestras tierras. 19 ¿Vas a permitir que nos muramos junto con nuestras tierras? Cómpranos a nosotros y a nuestras tierras, a cambio de alimento. Así seremos esclavos del faraón junto con nuestras tierras. ¡Pero danos semilla, para que podamos vivir y la tierra no quede desolada!
20 De esta manera José adquirió para el faraón todas las tierras de Egipto, porque los egipcios, obligados por el hambre, le vendieron todos sus terrenos. Fue así como todo el país llegó a ser propiedad del faraón, 21 y todos en Egipto quedaron reducidos a la esclavitud.[c] 22 Los únicos terrenos que José no compró fueron los que pertenecían a los sacerdotes. Estos no tuvieron que vender sus terrenos porque recibían una ración de alimento de parte del faraón.
23 Luego José informó al pueblo:
―Desde ahora vosotros y vuestras tierras pertenecéis al faraón, porque yo os he comprado. Aquí tenéis semilla. Sembrad la tierra. 24 Cuando llegue la cosecha, deberéis entregarle al faraón la quinta parte de lo cosechado. Las otras cuatro partes serán para la siembra de los campos, y para alimentaros a vosotros, a vuestros hijos y a vuestros familiares.
25 ―¡Tú nos has salvado la vida, y hemos contado con tu favor! —respondieron ellos—. ¡Seremos esclavos del faraón!
26 José estableció esta ley en toda la tierra de Egipto, que hasta el día de hoy sigue vigente: la quinta parte de la cosecha le pertenece al faraón. Solo las tierras de los sacerdotes no llegaron a ser del faraón.
27 Los israelitas se asentaron en Egipto, en la región de Gosén. Allí adquirieron propiedades, prosperaron y llegaron a ser muy numerosos. 28 Jacob residió diecisiete años en Egipto, y llegó a vivir un total de ciento cuarenta y siete años. 29 Cuando Israel estaba a punto de morir, mandó llamar a su hijo José y le dijo:
―Si de veras me quieres, pon tu mano debajo de mi muslo y prométeme amor y lealtad. ¡Por favor, no me entierres en Egipto! 30 Cuando vaya a descansar junto a mis antepasados, sácame de Egipto y entiérrame en el sepulcro de ellos.
―Haré lo que me pides —contestó José.
31 ―¡Júramelo! —insistió su padre.
José se lo juró, e Israel se reclinó sobre la cabecera de la cama.
Genesis 47
New International Version
Genesis 47
New International Version
47 Joseph went and told Pharaoh, “My father and brothers, with their flocks and herds and everything they own, have come from the land of Canaan(A) and are now in Goshen.”(B) 2 He chose five of his brothers and presented them(C) before Pharaoh.
3 Pharaoh asked the brothers, “What is your occupation?”(D)
“Your servants(E) are shepherds,(F)” they replied to Pharaoh, “just as our fathers were.” 4 They also said to him, “We have come to live here for a while,(G) because the famine is severe in Canaan(H) and your servants’ flocks have no pasture.(I) So now, please let your servants settle in Goshen.”(J)
5 Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Your father and your brothers have come to you, 6 and the land of Egypt is before you; settle(K) your father and your brothers in the best part of the land.(L) Let them live in Goshen. And if you know of any among them with special ability,(M) put them in charge of my own livestock.(N)”
7 Then Joseph brought his father Jacob in and presented him(O) before Pharaoh. After Jacob blessed[a] Pharaoh,(P) 8 Pharaoh asked him, “How old are you?”
9 And Jacob said to Pharaoh, “The years of my pilgrimage are a hundred and thirty.(Q) My years have been few and difficult,(R) and they do not equal the years of the pilgrimage of my fathers.(S)” 10 Then Jacob blessed[b] Pharaoh(T) and went out from his presence.
11 So Joseph settled his father and his brothers in Egypt and gave them property in the best part of the land,(U) the district of Rameses,(V) as Pharaoh directed. 12 Joseph also provided his father and his brothers and all his father’s household with food, according to the number of their children.(W)
Joseph and the Famine
13 There was no food, however, in the whole region because the famine was severe; both Egypt and Canaan wasted away because of the famine.(X) 14 Joseph collected all the money that was to be found in Egypt and Canaan in payment for the grain they were buying,(Y) and he brought it to Pharaoh’s palace.(Z) 15 When the money of the people of Egypt and Canaan was gone,(AA) all Egypt came to Joseph(AB) and said, “Give us food. Why should we die before your eyes?(AC) Our money is all gone.”
16 “Then bring your livestock,(AD)” said Joseph. “I will sell you food in exchange for your livestock, since your money is gone.(AE)” 17 So they brought their livestock to Joseph, and he gave them food in exchange for their horses,(AF) their sheep and goats, their cattle and donkeys.(AG) And he brought them through that year with food in exchange for all their livestock.
18 When that year was over, they came to him the following year and said, “We cannot hide from our lord the fact that since our money is gone(AH) and our livestock belongs to you,(AI) there is nothing left for our lord except our bodies and our land. 19 Why should we perish before your eyes(AJ)—we and our land as well? Buy us and our land in exchange for food,(AK) and we with our land will be in bondage to Pharaoh.(AL) Give us seed so that we may live and not die,(AM) and that the land may not become desolate.”
20 So Joseph bought all the land in Egypt for Pharaoh. The Egyptians, one and all, sold their fields, because the famine was too severe(AN) for them. The land became Pharaoh’s, 21 and Joseph reduced the people to servitude,[c](AO) from one end of Egypt to the other. 22 However, he did not buy the land of the priests,(AP) because they received a regular allotment from Pharaoh and had food enough from the allotment(AQ) Pharaoh gave them. That is why they did not sell their land.
23 Joseph said to the people, “Now that I have bought you and your land today for Pharaoh, here is seed(AR) for you so you can plant the ground.(AS) 24 But when the crop comes in, give a fifth(AT) of it to Pharaoh. The other four-fifths you may keep as seed for the fields and as food for yourselves and your households and your children.”
25 “You have saved our lives,” they said. “May we find favor in the eyes of our lord;(AU) we will be in bondage to Pharaoh.”(AV)
26 So Joseph established it as a law concerning land in Egypt—still in force today—that a fifth(AW) of the produce belongs to Pharaoh. It was only the land of the priests that did not become Pharaoh’s.(AX)
27 Now the Israelites settled in Egypt in the region of Goshen.(AY) They acquired property there(AZ) and were fruitful and increased greatly in number.(BA)
28 Jacob lived in Egypt(BB) seventeen years, and the years of his life were a hundred and forty-seven.(BC) 29 When the time drew near for Israel(BD) to die,(BE) he called for his son Joseph and said to him, “If I have found favor in your eyes,(BF) put your hand under my thigh(BG) and promise that you will show me kindness(BH) and faithfulness.(BI) Do not bury me in Egypt, 30 but when I rest with my fathers,(BJ) carry me out of Egypt and bury me where they are buried.”(BK)
“I will do as you say,” he said.
31 “Swear to me,”(BL) he said. Then Joseph swore to him,(BM) and Israel(BN) worshiped as he leaned on the top of his staff.[d](BO)
