Chapter 47

¹ Joseph went to inform Pharaoh, saying to him, “My father and my brothers with their flocks and herds and with all their possessions have come from the land of Canaan. They are now in the land of Goshen.” ² He selected five of his brothers and presented them to Pharaoh.

³ Pharaoh said to his brothers, “What work do you do?”

They answered Pharaoh, “We shepherd the flocks of your servants, just as our fathers did.”
