Genesis 47:11 - 47:27

47:11 And Joseph settled his father and his brothers, and he gave them property in the land of Egypt in the best part of the land, in the land of Rameses, as Pharaoh had instructed.
47:12 And Joseph provided his father and his brothers and all the household of his father with food, according to the number of their children.
47:13 The Famine in Egypt Continues Now there was no food in all the land, for the famine was very severe. And the land of Egypt languished, with the land of Canaan, on account of the famine.
47:14 And Joseph collected all the money found in the land of Egypt and in the land of Canaan in exchange for the grain that they were buying. And Joseph brought the money into the house of Pharaoh.
47:15 And when the money was spent in the land of Egypt and from the land of Canaan, all of Egypt came to Joseph, saying, “Give us food! Why should we die before you? For the money is used up.”
47:16 And Joseph said, “Give your livestock and I will give you food in exchange for your livestock if your money is used up.”
47:17 So they brought their herds to Joseph, and Joseph gave food to them in exchange for horses, their flocks, and their cattle and donkeys. And he provided them with food in exchange for all their livestock that year.
47:18 When that year ended, they came to him in the following year and said to him, “We cannot hide from my lord that our money and livestock belong to my lord. Nothing remains before my lord except our bodies and our land.
47:19 Why should we die in front of you, both we and our land? Buy us and our land in exchange for food, then we and our land will be servants to Pharaoh. Then give us seed and we shall live and not die, and the land will not become desolate.”
47:20 So Joseph bought all the land of Egypt for Pharaoh, for each Egyptian sold his field, for the famine was severe upon them. And the land became Pharaoh’s.
47:21 As for the people, he transferred them to the cities, from one end of the territory of Egypt to the other.
47:22 Only the land of the priests he did not buy, for there was an allotment for the priests from Pharaoh, and they lived on the allotment that Pharaoh gave to them. Therefore they did not sell their land.
47:23 And Joseph said to the people, “Look, I have bought you and your land this day for Pharaoh. Here is seed for you so you can sow the land.
47:24 And it shall happen that at the harvest, you must give a fifth to Pharaoh and four-fifths shall be yours, as seed for the field and for your food and for those who are in your households, and as food for your little ones.”
47:25 And they said, “You have saved our lives. If we have found favor in the eyes of my lord, we will be servants to Pharaoh.”
47:26 So Joseph made it a statute unto this day concerning the land of Egypt: one fifth to Pharaoh. Only the land of the priests alone did not belong to Pharaoh.
47:27 So Israel settled in the land of Egypt, in the land of Goshen. And they acquired possessions in it and were fruitful and multiplied greatly.

Gospel — John 19:31 - 42

LEB translation

John 19:31 - 42

19:31 Then the Jews, because it was the day of preparation, so that the bodies would not remain on the cross on the Sabbath (for that Sabbath was an important day), asked Pilate that their legs could be broken and they could be taken away.
19:32 So the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first and of the other who had been crucified with him.
19:33 But when they came to Jesus, after they saw he was already dead, they did not break his legs.
19:34 But one of the soldiers pierced his side with a spear, and blood and water came out immediately.
19:35 And the one who has seen it has testified, and his testimony is true, and that person knows that he is telling the truth, so that you also may believe.
19:36 For these things happened in order that the scripture would be fulfilled: “Not a bone of his will be broken.”
19:37 And again another scripture says, “They will look on the one whom they have pierced.”
19:38 Jesus Is Buried And after these things, Joseph who was from Arimathea, who was a disciple of Jesus (but a secret one for fear of the Jews), asked Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus. And Pilate allowed it, so he came and took away his body.
19:39 And Nicodemus—the one who had come to him formerly at night—also came, bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes weighing about a hundred pounds.
19:40 So they took the body of Jesus and wrapped it in strips of linen cloth with the fragrant spices, as is the Jews’ custom to prepare for burial.
19:41 Now there was a garden at the place where he was crucified, and in the garden a new tomb in which no one was yet buried.
19:42 So there, on account of the day of preparation of the Jews, because the tomb was close by, they buried Jesus.
