NETBible

The land of Egypt is before you; settle your father and your brothers in the best region of the land. They may live in the land of Goshen. If you know of any highly capable men¹ among them, put them in charge² of my livestock.”

NET Notes

¹tn Heb “men of skill.”

²tn Heb “make them rulers.”

²sn Put them in charge of my livestock. Pharaoh is, in effect, offering Joseph’s brothers jobs as royal keepers of livestock, a position mentioned often in Egyptian inscriptions, because the Pharaohs owned huge herds of cattle.
