Joseph came and told Pharaoh, and he said, “My father and my brothers and their flocks and their cattle and all that is theirs, have come from the land of Canaan, and behold,* they are in the land of Goshen.” . . . .
And Pharaoh said to his brothers, “What is your occupation*?” And they said to Pharaoh, “Your servants* are shepherds, both we and our forefathers.”
And they said to Pharaoh, “We have come to sojourn* in the land, for your servants' flocks have no pasture, for the famine is severe in the land of Canaan. Now, please let your servants dwell in the land of Goshen.”
And Pharaoh spoke to Joseph, saying, “Your father and your brothers have come to you.
The land of Egypt is [open] before you; in the best of the land settle your father and your brothers. Let them dwell in the land of Goshen, and if you know that there are capable men among them, make them livestock officers over what is mine.” . . . .
And Israel dwelt in the land of Egypt in the land of Goshen, and they acquired* property in it, and they were prolific* and multiplied greatly.
