Genesis 46:31--47:6

46:31

And Joseph
<03130>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto his brethren
<0251>_,

and unto his father's
<01>

house
<01004>_,

I will go up
<05927> (8799)_,

and shew
<05046> (8686)

Pharaoh
<06547>_,

and say
<0559> (8799)

unto him, My brethren
<0251>_,

and my father's
<01>

house
<01004>_,

which [were] in the land
<0776>

of Canaan
<03667>_,

are come
<0935> (8804)

unto me;

46:32

And the men
<0582>

[are] shepherds
<07462> (8802) <06629>_,

for their trade hath been to feed cattle
<04735>_;

and they have brought
<0935> (8689)

their flocks
<06629>_,

and their herds
<01241>_,

and all that they have. {their trade...: Heb. they are men of cattle}

46:33

And it shall come to pass, when Pharaoh
<06547>

shall call
<07121> (8799)

you, and shall say
<0559> (8804)_,

What [is] your occupation
<04639>_?

46:34

That ye shall say
<0559> (8804)_,

Thy servants
<05650>_'

trade
<0582>

hath been about cattle
<04735>

from our youth
<05271>

even until now, both we, [and] also our fathers
<01>_:

that ye may dwell
<03427> (8799)

in the land
<0776>

of Goshen
<01657>_;

for every shepherd
<07462> (8802) <06629>

[is] an abomination
<08441>

unto the Egyptians
<04714>_.

47:1

Then Joseph
<03130>

came
<0935> (8799)

and told
<05046> (8686)

Pharaoh
<06547>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

My father
<01>

and my brethren
<0251>_,

and their flocks
<06629>_,

and their herds
<01241>_,

and all that they have, are come out
<0935> (8804)

of the land
<0776>

of Canaan
<03667>_;

and, behold, they [are] in the land
<0776>

of Goshen
<01657>_.

47:2

And he took
<03947> (8804)

some
<07097>

of his brethren
<0251>_,

[even] five
<02568>

men
<0582>_,

and presented
<03322> (8686)

them unto
<06440>

Pharaoh
<06547>_.

47:3

And Pharaoh
<06547>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto his brethren
<0251>_,

What [is] your occupation
<04639>_?

And they said
<0559> (8799)

unto Pharaoh
<06547>_,

Thy servants
<05650>

[are] shepherds
<07462> (8802) <06629>_,

both we, [and] also our fathers
<01>_.

47:4

They said
<0559> (8799)

moreover unto Pharaoh
<06547>_,

For to sojourn
<01481> (8800)

in the land
<0776>

are we come
<0935> (8804)_;

for thy servants
<05650>

have no pasture
<04829>

for their flocks
<06629>_;

for the famine
<07458>

[is] sore
<03515>

in the land
<0776>

of Canaan
<03667>_:

now therefore, we pray thee, let thy servants
<05650>

dwell
<03427> (8799)

in the land
<0776>

of Goshen
<01657>_.

47:5

And Pharaoh
<06547>

spake
<0559> (8799)

unto Joseph
<03130>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Thy father
<01>

and thy brethren
<0251>

are come
<0935> (8804)

unto thee:

47:6

The land
<0776>

of Egypt
<04714>

[is] before thee
<06440>_;

in the best
<04315>

of the land
<0776>

make
<03427> (0)

thy father
<01>

and brethren
<0251>

to dwell
<03427> (8685)_;

in the land
<0776>

of Goshen
<01657>

let them dwell
<03427> (8799)_:

and if thou knowest
<03045> (8804) <03426>

[any] men
<0582>

of activity
<02428>

among them, then make them
<07760> (8804)

rulers
<08269>

over my cattle
<04735>_.
