Genesis 47:3-6

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.

5And PharaohH6547 spoke to JosephH3130, sayingH559, Thy fatherH1 and thy brethren are comeH935 to thee.

6The landH776 of EgyptH4714 is before thee; in the best of the landH776 settle thy fatherH1 and thy brethren: let them dwellH3427 in the landH776 of GoshenH1657. And if thou knowest menH376 of activity among them, then setH7760 them as overseers of cattle over what I have.
