4. फिर उन्हों ने फिरौन से कहा, हम इस देश में परदेशी की भांति रहने के लिये आए हैं; क्योंकि कनान देश में भारी अकाल होने के कारण तेरे दासों को भेड़- बकरियों के लिये चारा न रहा : सो अपने दासों को गोशेन देश में रहने की आज्ञा दे।
4. And they said to Pharaoh, We have come to sojourn in the land, for there is no pasture for the flocks of your servants, for the famine has prevailed in the land of Canaan. Now then, we will dwell in the land of Goshen. And Pharaoh said to Joseph, Let them dwell in the land of Goshen; and if you know that there are among them able men, make them overseers of my cattle. So Jacob and his sons came into Egypt, to Joseph; and Pharaoh, king of Egypt, heard [of it].
