2He tookH3947 fiveH2568 menH376 from amongH7097 his brothersH251 and 1presentedH3322H6440 them to PharaohH6547.

3Then PharaohH6547 saidH559 to his brothersH251, “2WhatH4100 is your occupationH4639?” So they saidH559 to PharaohH6547, “Your servantsH5650 are 3shepherdsH7462, bothH1571 we and our fathersH1.”

4They saidH559 to PharaohH6547, “4We have comeH935 to sojournH1481 in the landH776, for thereH369 is noH369 pastureH4829 for your servants’H5650 flocksH6629, for 5the famineH7458 is severeH3515 in the landH776 of CanaanH3667. NowH6258, therefore, pleaseH4994 let your servantsH5650 67liveH3427 in the landH776 of GoshenH1657.”
