Genesis 47:2-4

2He took five men from among his brothers and 1presented them to Pharaoh.

3Then Pharaoh said to his brothers, “2What is your occupation?” So they said to Pharaoh, “Your servants are 3shepherds, both we and our fathers.”

4They said to Pharaoh, “4We have come to sojourn in the land, for there is no pasture for your servants’ flocks, for 5the famine is severe in the land of Canaan. Now, therefore, please let your servants 67live in the land of Goshen.”
