¹⁰ So you shall dwell with us, and the land shall be before you. Dwell and trade in it, and acquire possessions for yourselves in it.”

Joseph’s Vow to Jacob

²⁷ So Israel ^(A)dwelt in the land of Egypt, in the country of Goshen; and they had possessions there and ^(B)grew and multiplied exceedingly.

³⁴ And bring your ^(A)youngest brother to me; so I shall know that you are not spies, but that you are honest men. I will grant your brother to you, and you may ^(B)trade in the land.’ ”

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

^9 (A)Is not the whole land before you? Please ^(B)separate from me. ^(C)If you take the left, then I will go to the right; or, if you go to the right, then I will go to the left.”

²¹ “These men are at peace with us. Therefore let them dwell in the land and trade in it. For indeed the land is large enough for them. Let us take their daughters to us as wives, and let us give them our daughters. ²² Only on this condition will the men consent to dwell with us, to be one people: if every male among us is circumcised as they are circumcised. ²³ Will not their livestock, their property, and every animal of theirs be ours? Only let us consent to them, and they will dwell with us.”
