Christian Standard Bible Anglicised

² He took five of his brothers and presented them to Pharaoh.^{(A) 3} And Pharaoh asked his brothers, ‘What is your occupation? ’

They said to Pharaoh, ‘Your servants, both we and our ancestors, are shepherds.’^{(B) 4} And they said to Pharaoh, ‘We have come to stay in the land for a while because there is no grazing land for your servants’ sheep, since the famine in the land of Canaan has been severe.^(C) So now, please let your servants settle in the land of Goshen.’
