Genesis 47:1-6

Joseph took five of his brothers with him to Pharaoh and presented them to the king. Joseph said to Pharaoh, “My father and my brothers have come from Canaan with their flocks, their herds, and all that they own. They have made their camp in the region of Goshen.” Pharaoh asked the men, “What is your occupation?” “We, your servants, are shepherds, just as our fathers were,” they answered. “We have come to stay as temporary residents in this country, because in the land of Canaan, the famine is so severe that there is no pasture for your servants’ flocks. Please give us permission to settle in the land of Goshen.” Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Now that your father and your brothers have arrived, the land of Egypt is theirs. Let them settle in the best part of the land, in the region of Goshen. And if there are any competent men among them, put them in charge of my own livestock.”
