Genesis 47:1–6

47 Then Joseph awent and told Pharaoh, and said, “My father and my brothers, their flocks and their herds and all that they possess, have come from the land of Canaan; and indeed they are in bthe land of Goshen.” 2 And he took five men from among his brothers and cpresented them to Pharaoh. 3 Then Pharaoh said to his brothers, d“What is your occupation?”

And they said to Pharaoh, e“Your servants are shepherds, both we and also our fathers.” 4 And they said to Pharaoh, f“We have come to dwell in the land, because your servants have no pasture for their flocks, gfor the famine is severe in the land of Canaan. Now therefore, please let your servants hdwell in the land of Goshen.”

5 Then Pharaoh spoke to Joseph, saying, “Your father and your brothers have come to you. 6 iThe land of Egypt is before you. Have your father and brothers dwell in the best of the land; let them dwell jin the land of Goshen. And if you know any competent men among them, then make them chief herdsmen over my livestock.”
