1. Joseph went and told Pharaoh, “My father and my brothers have arrived from Canaan with their flocks, herds, and everything they have. Now they are in Goshen.”
2. Since he had taken five of his brothers with him, he presented them to Pharaoh.
3. Pharaoh asked the brothers, “What kind of work do you do?”They answered Pharaoh, “We are shepherds, as were our ancestors.
4. We have come to live in this land for a while. The famine is so severe in Canaan that there’s no pasture for our flocks. So please let us live in Goshen.”
5. Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Your father and your brothers have come to you.
6. All of Egypt is available to you. Have your father and your brothers live in the best part of the land. Let them live in Goshen. If they are qualified, put them in charge of my livestock.”
