1 Joseph went and told Pharaoh, ‘My father and brothers, with their flocks and herds and everything they own, have come from the land of Canaan and are now in Goshen.’
2 He chose five of his brothers and presented them before Pharaoh.
3 Pharaoh asked the brothers, ‘What is your occupation?’‘Your servants are shepherds,’ they replied to Pharaoh, ‘just as our fathers were.’
4 They also said to him, ‘We have come to live here for a while, because the famine is severe in Canaan and your servants’ flocks have no pasture. So now, please let your servants settle in Goshen.’
