*
So Joseph went in and told Pharaoh , "
My father and my brothers ,
with their flocks and herds and all that they possess ,
have come from the land of Canaan ;
they are now in the land of Goshen ."
*
And from among his brothers he took five men and presented them to Pharaoh .
*
Pharaoh said to his brothers , "
What is your occupation ?"
And they said to Pharaoh , "
Your servants are shepherds ,
as our fathers were ."
*
They said to Pharaoh , "
We have come to sojourn in the land ;
for there is no pasture for your servants '
flocks ,
for the famine is severe in the land of Canaan ;
and now ,
we pray you ,
let your servants dwell in the land of Goshen ."
*
Then Pharaoh said to Joseph , "
Your father and your brothers have come to you .
*
The land of Egypt is before you ;
settle your father and your brothers in the best of the land ;
let them dwell in the land of Goshen ;
and if you know any able men among them ,
put them in charge of my cattle ."
