Kejadian 47:3-4

47:3 Pharaoh said to Joseph’s ¹  brothers, “What is your occupation?” They said to Pharaoh, “Your servants take care of flocks, just as our ancestors did.” ²  47:4 Then they said to Pharaoh, “We have come to live as temporary residents ³  in the land. There ⁴  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.”

[47:3]  ¹ tn Heb “his”; the referent (Joseph) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[47:3]  ² tn Heb “both we and our fathers.”

[47:4]  ³ tn Heb “to sojourn.”

[47:4]  ⁴ 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.
