GENESIS 47

JOSEPH PROVIDES FOR HIS FAMILY DURING THE FAMINE 

Joseph introduces Jacob and five of his brothers to Pharaoh. Joseph provides his family with land, food, and livestock in the land of Goshen near Egypt. 

As the famine worsens, the Egyptians run out of money and begin trading their livestock and land for food. Only the priests are spared because Pharaoh provides for them directly.

Jacob is getting old and knows he will die soon, so he asks Joseph to bury him in Canaan where his ancestors are buried, not Egypt.
