2. And out of his brethren he hath taken five men, and setteth them before Pharaoh;
3. and Pharaoh saith unto his brethren, `What [are] your works?' and they say unto Pharaoh, `Thy servants [are] feeders of a flock, both we and our fathers;'
4. and they say unto Pharaoh, `To sojourn in the land we have come, for there is no pasture for the flock which thy servants have, for grievous [is] the famine in the land of Canaan; and now, let thy servants, we pray thee, dwell in the land ofGoshen.'
5. And Pharaoh speaketh unto Joseph, saying, `Thy father and thy brethren have come unto thee:

10. And Jacob blesseth Pharaoh, and goeth out from before Pharaoh.
