Genesis 47:3-6
New International Version
3 Pharaoh asked the brothers, “What is your occupation?”(A)
“Your servants(B) are shepherds,(C)” they replied to Pharaoh, “just as our fathers were.” 4 They also said to him, “We have come to live here for a while,(D) because the famine is severe in Canaan(E) and your servants’ flocks have no pasture.(F) So now, please let your servants settle in Goshen.”(G)
5 Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Your father and your brothers have come to you, 6 and the land of Egypt is before you; settle(H) your father and your brothers in the best part of the land.(I) Let them live in Goshen. And if you know of any among them with special ability,(J) put them in charge of my own livestock.(K)”

Genesis 47:3-6
King James Version
3 And Pharaoh said unto his brethren, What is your occupation? And they said unto Pharaoh, Thy servants are shepherds, both we, and also our fathers.
4 They said morever unto Pharaoh, For to sojourn in the land are we come; for thy servants have no pasture for their flocks; for the famine is sore in the land of Canaan: now therefore, we pray thee, let thy servants dwell in the land of Goshen.
5 And Pharaoh spake unto Joseph, saying, Thy father and thy brethren are come unto thee:
6 The land of Egypt is before thee; in the best of the land make thy father and brethren to dwell; in the land of Goshen let them dwell: and if thou knowest any men of activity among them, then make them rulers over my cattle.
