Genesis 47:4-6 ▼

4 Then they said to Pharaoh (great house), “We have come to live in the land for a time, because there is no pasture for the flocks of your servants, since the famine in the land of Canaan (lowland) has been severe. So now, please allow your servants to settle in the land of Goshen (drawing near).”

5 Pharaoh (great house) said to Joseph (YHWH has added), “Now that your father and brothers have come to you,

6 the land of Egypt (land of bondage) is before you; settle your father and brothers in the best part of the land. They may dwell in the land of Goshen (drawing near). And if you know of any talented men among them, put them in charge of my own livestock.”
