And they answered Pharaoh, Thy seruants are shepheards, both we and our fathers. 4 They sayde moreouer vnto Pharaoh, For to soiourne in ye lande are we come: for thy seruants haue no pasture for their sheepe, so sore is ye famine in the lande of Canaan. Nowe therefore, we pray thee, let thy seruants dwel in the land of Goshen. Genesis 47:1-4, Geneva Bible of 1587. Public domain.
