2And he tookH3947 from the whole number of his brethren, fiveH2568 menH376, and setH3322 them before PharaohH6547.

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

4And they saidH559 to PharaohH6547, To sojourn in the landH776 are we comeH935; for there is no pastureH4829 for the sheepH6629 that thy servantsH5650 have, for the famineH7458 is grievous in the landH776 of CanaanH3667; and nowH6258, we pray thee, let thy servantsH5650 dwellH3427 in the landH776 of GoshenH1657.
