7 Then Joseph brought in his father Jacob and set him before Pharaoh; and Jacob ablessed Pharaoh.
8 Pharaoh said to Jacob, “How old are you?”
9 And Jacob said to Pharaoh, a“The days of the years of my pilgrimage are bone hundred and thirty years; cfew and evil have been the days of the years of my life, and dthey have not attained to the days of the years of the life of my fathers in the days of their pilgrimage.”
10 So Jacob ablessed Pharaoh, and went out from before Pharaoh.
11 And Joseph situated 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 aRameses, bas Pharaoh had commanded.
