2. And he took five men from among his brothers and presented them to Pharaoh.
3. And Pharaoh said to his brothers, “What is your occupation?” And they said to Pharaoh, “Your servants are shepherds, both we and also our fathers.”

5. And Pharaoh spoke to Yosĕph, saying, “Your father and your brothers have come to you.
6. “The land of Mitsrayim is before you. Settle your father and brothers in the best of the land, let them dwell in the land of Goshen. And if you know of capable men among them, then make them chief herdsmen over my livestock.”
