Genesis 47 contributes to an understanding of Trade, Property, Slavery, Oath, and Funeral.

1 Then Joseph went in and told Pharaoh, and said, “My father and my brothers, with their flocks, their herds, and all that they own, have come out of the land of Canaan; and behold, they are in the land of Goshen.” Genesis 47:1WEB
2 From among his brothers he took five men, and presented them to Pharaoh. Genesis 47:2WEB
3 Pharaoh said to his brothers, “What is your occupation?” They said to Pharaoh, “Your servants are shepherds, both we, and our fathers.” Genesis 47:3WEB
4 They also said to Pharaoh, “We have come to live as foreigners in the land, for there is no pasture for your servants’ flocks. For the famine is severe in the land of Canaan. Now therefore, please let your servants dwell in the land of Goshen.” Genesis 47:4WEB
5 Pharaoh spoke to Joseph, saying, “Your father and your brothers have come to you. Genesis 47:5WEB
6 The land of Egypt is before you. Make your father and your brothers dwell in the best of the land. Let them dwell in the land of Goshen. If you know any able men among them, then put them in charge of my livestock.” Genesis 47:6WEB
7 Joseph brought in Jacob, his father, and set him before Pharaoh; and Jacob blessed Pharaoh. Genesis 47:7WEB
8 Pharaoh said to Jacob, “How old are you?” Genesis 47:8WEB
9 Jacob said to Pharaoh, “The years of my pilgrimage are one hundred thirty years. The days of the years of my life have been few and evil. They have not attained to the days of the years of the life of my fathers in the days of their pilgrimage.” Genesis 47:9WEB
10 Jacob blessed Pharaoh, and went out from the presence of Pharaoh. Genesis 47:10WEB
11 Joseph placed 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 commanded. Genesis 47:11WEB
12 Joseph provided his father, his brothers, and all of his father’s household with bread, according to the sizes of their families. Genesis 47:12WEB
13 There was no bread in all the land; for the famine was very severe, so that the land of Egypt and the land of Canaan fainted by reason of the famine. Genesis 47:13WEB
14 Joseph gathered up 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. Genesis 47:14WEB
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 bread, for why should we die in your presence? For our money fails.” Genesis 47:15WEB
16 Joseph said, “Give me your livestock; and I will give you food for your livestock, if your money is gone.” Genesis 47:16WEB
17 They brought their livestock to Joseph, and Joseph gave them bread in exchange for the horses, and for the flocks, and for the herds, and for the donkeys: and he fed them with bread in exchange for all their livestock for that year. Genesis 47:17WEB
18 When that year was ended, they came to him the second year, and said to him, “We will not hide from my lord how our money is all spent, and the herds of livestock are my lord’s. There is nothing left in the sight of my lord, but our bodies, and our lands. Genesis 47:18WEB
19 Why should we die before your eyes, both we and our land? Buy us and our land for bread, and we and our land will be servants to Pharaoh. Give us seed, that we may live, and not die, and that the land won’t be desolate.” Genesis 47:19WEB
20 So Joseph bought all the land of Egypt for Pharaoh, for every man of the Egyptians sold his field, because the famine was severe on them, and the land became Pharaoh’s. Genesis 47:20WEB
21 As for the people, he moved them to the cities from one end of the border of Egypt even to the other end of it. Genesis 47:21WEB
22 Only he didn’t buy the land of the priests, for the priests had a portion from Pharaoh, and ate their portion which Pharaoh gave them. That is why they didn’t sell their land. Genesis 47:22WEB
23 Then Joseph said to the people, “Behold, I have bought you and your land today for Pharaoh. Behold, here is seed for you, and you shall sow the land. Genesis 47:23WEB
24 It will happen at the harvests, that you shall give a fifth to Pharaoh, and four parts will be your own, for seed of the field, for your food, for them of your households, and for food for your little ones.” Genesis 47:24WEB
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.” Genesis 47:25WEB
26 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. Genesis 47:26WEB
27 Israel lived in the land of Egypt, in the land of Goshen; and they got themselves possessions therein, and were fruitful, and multiplied exceedingly. Genesis 47:27WEB
28 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. Genesis 47:28WEB
29 The time came 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, Genesis 47:29WEB
30 but when I sleep with my fathers, you shall carry me out of Egypt, and bury me in their burying place.” Joseph said, “I will do as you have said.” Genesis 47:30WEB
31 Israel said, “Swear to me,” and he swore to him. Then Israel bowed himself on the bed’s head. Genesis 47:31WEB
