7 Joseph brought his father Jacob and presented him to the king. Jacob gave the king his blessing.

8 The king asked him: »How old are you?«

9 Jacob answered: »My life of wandering has lasted a hundred and thirty years. Those years have been few and difficult, unlike the long years of my ancestors in their wanderings.«

10 Jacob gave the king a farewell blessing and left.

11 Joseph settled his father and his brothers in Egypt. He gave them property in the best of the land near the city of Rameses. This was as the king had commanded.

12 Joseph provided food for his father, his brothers, and all the rest of his fathers family, including the very youngest.
