Genesis 47:2-4

Living Bible

² He took five of his brothers with him, and presented them to Pharaoh.

³ Pharaoh asked them, “What is your occupation?”

And they replied, “We are shepherds like our ancestors. ⁴ We have come to live here in Egypt, for there is no pasture for our flocks in Canaan—the famine is very bitter there. We request permission to live in the land of Goshen.”
