¹⁰ You shall dwell with us, and ^(A)the land shall be open to you. Dwell and ^(B)trade in it, and ^(C)get property in it.”

²⁷ Thus Israel settled in the land of Egypt, ^(A)in the land of Goshen. ^(B)And they gained possessions in it, and were fruitful and multiplied greatly.

³⁴ Bring your youngest brother to me. Then I shall know that you are not spies but honest men, and I will deliver your brother to you, and you shall ^(A)trade in the land.’”

¹⁵ And Abimelech said, “Behold, ^(A)my land is before you; dwell where it pleases you.”

^9 (A)Is not the whole land before you? Separate yourself from me. If you take the left hand, then I will go to the right, or if you take the right hand, then I will go to the left.”

²¹ “These men are at peace with us; let them dwell in the land and ^(A)trade in it, for behold, the land is large enough for them. Let us take their daughters as wives, and let us give them our daughters. ²² Only on this condition will the men agree to dwell with us to become one people—when every male among us is circumcised as they are circumcised. ²³ Will not their livestock, their property and all their beasts be ours? Only let us agree with them, and they will dwell with us.”
