Genesis 47:1-5 Amplified Bible (AMP)

1. THEN JOSEPH came and told Pharaoh, My father and my brothers, with their flocks and their herds and all that they own, have come from the land of Canaan, and they are in the land of Goshen.

2. And from among his brothers he took five men and presented them to Pharaoh.

3. And Pharaoh said to his brothers, What is your occupation? And they said to Pharaoh, Your servants are shepherds, both we and our fathers before us.

4. Moreover, they said to Pharaoh, We have come to sojourn in the land, for your servants have no pasture for our flocks, for the famine is very severe in Canaan. So now, we pray you, let your servants dwell in the land of Goshen.

5. And Pharaoh spoke to Joseph, saying, Your father and your brothers have come to you.
