A nd daugh-ter of Pha-raoh came down to wash her-self at the ri-ver ;  and her maid-ens walk-ed a-long by the ri-ver's side :  and when she saw the ark a-mong the flags, she sent her maidto fetch it.
And when she had 0-pen-ed it, she saw the child :  and, be-hold, the babe wept.  And she had com-pas-sion on him, and said, This is one of the He-brews' chil-dren.
Then said his sis-ter to Pha-raoh's daughter,  Shall I go and call to thee a nurse of the He-brew women, that she may nurse the child for thee?
And Pha-raoh's daugh-ter said to her, Go.  And the maid went and call-ed the child's mo-ther.  And Pha-raoh's daughter said un-to her, Take this child a-way, and nurse it for me, and I will give thee thy wa-ges.  And the wo-man took the child, and nurs-ed it.

And Jo-seph brought in Ja-cob his fa-ther, and set him be-fore Pha-raoh :  and Ja-cob bless-ed Pha-raoh.
And Pha-raoh said un-to Ja-cob, How old art thou?
And Ja-cob said un-to Pha-raoh,  The days of the years of my pil-grim-age are an hun-dred and thir-ty years :  few and e-vil have the days of the years of my life been, and have not at-tain-ed un-to the days of the years of the life of my fa-thers, in the days of their pil-grim-age.
And Ja-cob bless-ed Pha-raoh, and went out from bfore Pha-raoh.
And Jo-seph pla-ced his fa-ther and his breth-ren, and gave them a pos-ses-si-on in the land of E-gypt, in the best of the land, in the land of Ra-me-ses, as Pha-raoh had com-mand-ed.  And Jo-seph nou-rish-ed his fa-ther, and his breth-ren, and all his fa-ther's house-hold,  with bread, ac-cord-ing to their fa-mi-lies.
