Pharaoh Welcomes Jacob

47 So Joseph went and informed Pharaoh: “My father and my brothers, with their sheep and cattle and all that they own, have come from the land of Canaan and are now in the land of Goshen.”^(A)

⁴ Then they said to Pharaoh, “We have come to live in the land for a while because there is no grazing land for your servants’ sheep, since the famine in the land of Canaan has been severe.^(A) So now, please let your servants settle in the land of Goshen.”

⁶ the land of Egypt is open before you; settle your father and brothers in the best part of the land.^(A) They can live in the land of Goshen. If you know of any capable men among them, put them in charge of my livestock.”^(B)

¹¹ Then Joseph settled his father and brothers in the land of Egypt and gave them property in the best part of the land, the land of Rameses,^(A) as Pharaoh had commanded.
