The Greatness of Godliness

7 Then Joseph brought his father Jacob and presented him to Pharaoh; and Jacob (A) blessed Pharaoh.

8 Pharaoh said to Jacob, "How many years have you lived?"

9 So Jacob said to Pharaoh, "The (B) years of my sojourning are one hundred and thirty; few and unpleasant have been the years of my life, nor have they attained (C) the years that my fathers lived during the days of their sojourning."

10 And Jacob (D) blessed Pharaoh, and went out from his presence.

11 So Joseph settled his father and his brothers and gave them a possession in the land of Egypt, in (E) the best of the land, in the land of (F) Rameses, as Pharaoh had ordered.

12 Joseph (G) provided his father and his brothers and all his father's household with food, according to their little ones.

-Genesis 47:7-12
