Genesis 47:4

They said to Pharaoh , We have come to sojourn in the land , for there is no pasture for your servants ’ flocks , for the famine is severe in the land of Canaan . And now , please let your servants dwell in the land of Goshen .

They also said to him, “We have come to live here for a while, because the famine is severe in Canaan and your servants` flocks have no pasture. So now, please let your servants settle in Goshen.”

They said moreover 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.
