Genesis 47:3-6

3And PharaohH6547 saidH559 unto his brethren, What is your occupation? And they saidH559 unto PharaohH6547, Thy servantsH5650 are shepherdsH7462, both we, and our fathersH1.

4And they saidH559 unto PharaohH6547, To sojourn in the landH776 are we comeH935; for there is no pastureH4829 for thy servants’H5650 flocksH6629; for the famineH7458 is sore in the landH776 of CanaanH3667: nowH6258 thereforeH6258, we pray thee, let thy servantsH5650 dwellH3427 in the landH776 of GoshenH1657.

5And PharaohH6547 spake unto JosephH3130, sayingH559, Thy fatherH1 and thy brethren are comeH935 unto thee:

6the landH776 of EgyptH4714 is before thee; in the best of the landH776 makeH7760 thy fatherH1 and thy brethren to dwellH3427; in the landH776 of GoshenH1657 let them dwellH3427: and if thou knowest any able menH376 among them, then makeH7760 them rulers over my cattle.
