Genesis 47 records Jacob’s family settling in Goshen and Jacob blessing Pharaoh. The famine grows severe, and Joseph administers Egypt’s grain economy: money, livestock, land, and labor are progressively exchanged for food, while priestly land is exempt. Jacob’s family prospers in Goshen. Near death, Jacob makes Joseph swear not to bury him in Egypt but in the ancestral burial place in Canaan.
