Read the Story

Joseph brought his father, Jacob, to meet Pharaoh. Jacob was very old. Pharaoh asked, How old are you? Jacob said he was 130 years old.

Then Jacob blessed Pharaoh! He asked God to be good to the king. Pharaoh gave Jacob's family the best land, called Goshen, for their sheep and cows.

Joseph took care of his whole family and gave them food. In Goshen, Jacob's family grew and grew. God was keeping His promise to make them a great nation.
