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. 

The famine becomes increasingly severe, and people become desperate. Because they have a fixed amount of money and food from Pharaoh, the priests are the only ones without struggles. 

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 in Goshen or Egypt.
