Make your father and your brothers dwell in the best of the land. Let them dwell in the land of Goshen.

That is why they didn't sell their land. <span class="reftext"><a href="/genesis/47-23.htm"><b>23</b></a></span>Then Joseph said to the people, "Behold, I have bought you and your land today for Pharaoh.

Let us find favor in the sight of my lord, and we will be Pharaoh's servants." <span class="reftext"><a href="/genesis/47-26.htm"><b>26</b></a></span>Joseph made it a statute concerning the land of Egypt to this day, that Pharaoh should have the fifth. Only the land of the priests alone didn't become Pharaoh's.</p> <p class="reg"><span class="reftext"><a href="/genesis/47-27.htm"><b>27</b></a></span>Israel lived in the land of Egypt, in the land of Goshen; and they got themselves possessions therein, and were fruitful, and multiplied exceedingly. <span class="reftext"><a href="/genesis/47-28.htm"><b>28</b></a></span>Jacob lived in the land of Egypt seventeen years. So the days of Jacob, the years of his life, were one hundred forty-seven years.</p> <p class="reg"><span class="reftext"><a href="/genesis/47-29.htm"><b>29</b></a></span>The time drew near that Israel must die, and 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 truly with me. Please don't bury me in Egypt, <span class="reftext"><a href="/genesis/47-30.htm"><b>30</b></a></span>but when I sleep with my fathers, you shall carry me out of Egypt, and bury me in their burying place." He said, "I will do as you have said." <span class="reftext"><a href="/genesis/47-31.htm"><b>31</b></a></span>He said, "Swear to me," and he swore to him. Israel bowed himself on the bed's head.</p></div></div><div id="botbox"><div class="padbot"><div align="center">The World English Bible is a 1997 revision of the American Standard Version of the Holy Bible, first published in 1901.
