Genesis 47:10

IsraelPharaoh

8 “How many years have you lived?” Pharaoh asked.

9 “My travels have lasted 130 years,” Jacob replied. “My years have been few and hard, and they have not matched the years of the travels of my fathers.”

Then Jacob blessed Pharaoh and departed from his presence.

11 So Joseph settled his father and brothers in the land of Egypt and gave them property in the best part of the land, the district of Rameses, as Pharaoh had commanded.

12 Joseph also provided his father and brothers and all his father’s household with food for their families.
