Genesis 47:4-6
King James Version
4 They said morever unto Pharaoh, For to sojourn in the land are we come; for thy servants have no pasture for their flocks; for the famine is sore in the land of Canaan: now therefore, we pray thee, let thy servants dwell in the land of Goshen.
5 And Pharaoh spake unto Joseph, saying, Thy father and thy brethren are come unto thee:
6 The land of Egypt is before thee; in the best of the land make thy father and brethren to dwell; in the land of Goshen let them dwell: and if thou knowest any men of activity among them, then make them rulers over my cattle.

4 They also said to Pharaoh, “(A)We have come to reside in the land, for there is no pasture for your servants’ flocks, for (B)the famine is severe in the land of Canaan. Now, therefore, please let your servants (C)live in the land of Goshen.” 5 Then Pharaoh said to [a]Joseph, “Your father and your brothers have come to you. 6 The land of Egypt is [b]at your disposal; settle your father and your brothers in (D)the best of the land, let them live in the land of Goshen; and if you know any (E)capable men among them, then [c]put them in charge of my livestock.”
