NowH6258, therefore, pleaseH4994 let your servantsH5650 34liveH3427 in the landH776 of GoshenH1657.” 5Then PharaohH6547 saidH559 to 5JosephH3130, “Your fatherH1 and your brothersH251 have comeH935 to you. 6The landH776 of EgyptH4714 is 6at your disposalH6440; 7settleH3427 your fatherH1 and your brothersH251 in 8the bestH4315 of the landH776, let them 9liveH3427 in the landH776 of GoshenH1657; and ifH518 you knowH3045 anyH3426 10capableH2428 menH376 among them, then 11putH7760 them in chargeH8269 of my livestockH4735.”
