NETBible

So Joseph settled his father and his brothers. He gave them territory¹ in the land of Egypt, in the best region of the land, the land of Rameses,² just as Pharaoh had commanded.

NET Notes

¹tn Heb “a possession,” or “a holding.” Joseph gave them a plot of land with rights of ownership in the land of Goshen.

²sn The land of Rameses is another designation for the region of Goshen. It is named Rameses because of a city in that region (Exod 1:11; 12:37). The use of this name may represent a modernization of the text for the understanding of the intended readers, substituting a later name for an earlier one. Alternatively, there may have been an earlier Rameses for which the region was named.
