47:2 He took five of his brothers and introduced them to Pharaoh. ³ 

47:3 Pharaoh said to Joseph’s ⁴  brothers, “What is your occupation?” They said to Pharaoh, “Your servants take care of flocks, just as our ancestors did.” ⁵  47:4 Then they said to Pharaoh, “We have come to live as temporary residents ⁶  in the land. There ⁷  is no pasture for your servants’ flocks because the famine is severe in the land of Canaan. So now, please let your servants live in the land of Goshen.”

[46:32]  ¹ tn Heb “feeders of sheep.”

[46:32]  ² tn Heb “for men of livestock they are.”

[47:2]  ³ tn Heb “and from the whole of his brothers he took five men and presented them before Pharaoh.”

[47:3]  ⁴ tn Heb “his”; the referent (Joseph) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[47:3]  ⁵ tn Heb “both we and our fathers.”

[47:4]  ⁶ tn Heb “to sojourn.”

[47:4]  ⁷ tn Heb “for there.” The Hebrew uses a causal particle to connect what follows with what precedes. The translation divides the statement into two sentences for stylistic reasons.
