1 After this, Joseph went to inform Pharaoh. |My father and brothers have come here from Canaan,| he said, |and they've come with their flocks, herds, and everything else they have. I settled them in the Goshen territory!| 2 He brought along five of his brothers to present before Pharaoh. 3 Pharaoh asked his brothers, |What are your occupations?| |Your servants are shepherds,| they replied, |both we and our ancestors. 4 We've come to live for a while in this region, since there is no pasture back in Canaan for your servants' flocks. May your servants please live in the Goshen territory?| Genesis 47:1-4, Intl. Standard Version. Copyright © 1995-2014 by ISV Foundation.
