Genesis 47:4-6

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁴ We are come to sojourn in thy land, because there is no grass for the flocks of thy servants, the famine being very grievous in the land of Chanaan: and we pray thee to give orders that we thy servants may be in the land of Gessen.

⁵ The king therefore said to Joseph: Thy father and thy brethren are come to thee.

⁶ The land of Egypt is before thee: make them dwell in the best place, and give them the land of Gessen. And if thou knowest that there are industrious men among them, make them rulers over my cattle.
