3 Then Pharaoh said to his brothers, a“What is your occupation?” And they said to Pharaoh, b“Your servants are shepherds, both we and also our fathers.”
4 And they said to Pharaoh, a“We have come to dwell in the land, because your servants have no pasture for their flocks, bfor the famine is severe in the land of Canaan. Now therefore, please let your servants cdwell in the land of Goshen.”
5 Then Pharaoh spoke to Joseph, saying, “Your father and your brothers have come to you.
