Look, they’re in the land of Goshen now." 2 He chose five of his brothers and presented them to Pharaoh. 3 Pharaoh asked his brothers, "What is your occupation?" They replied to Pharaoh, "Yourself servants are shepherds, just as our ancestors were." 4 They said to Pharaoh, "We’ve come to live in this land for a while because there’s no pasture for yourself servants' flocks; the famine is severe in the land of <span class="ytc-term" data-term="Kena'an" title="Means 'lowland' or 'merchant.'

My life's years have been few and difficult, and they haven’t reached the age my ancestors lived during their own travels." 10 Yaakov blessed Pharaoh and then left his presence. 11 Yoseph settled his father and his brothers and gave them property in the land of <span class="ytc-term" data-term="Mitsrayim" title="The Hebrew name for Egypt, meaning 'two straits' or 'two boundaries.'
