Genesis 47:2-4

Easy-to-Read Version

² Joseph chose five of his brothers to be with him before the Pharaoh.

³ Pharaoh said to the brothers, “What work do you do?”

The brothers said to Pharaoh, “Sir, we are shepherds, just as our ancestors were shepherds before us.” ⁴ They said to Pharaoh, “The famine is very bad in Canaan. There are no fields left with grass for our animals, so we have come to live in this land. We ask you to please let us live in Goshen.”
