Kejadian 47:6
Konteks47:6 The land of Egypt is before you; settle your father and your brothers in the best region of the land. They may live in the land of Goshen. If you know of any highly capable men 1 among them, put them in charge 2 of my livestock.”
Kejadian 47:27
Konteks47:27 Israel settled in the land of Egypt, in the land of Goshen, and they owned land there. They were fruitful and increased rapidly in number.


[47:6] 1 tn Heb “men of skill.”
[47:6] 2 tn Heb “make them rulers.”
[47:6] sn Put them in charge of my livestock. Pharaoh is, in effect, offering Joseph’s brothers jobs as royal keepers of livestock, a position mentioned often in Egyptian inscriptions, because the Pharaohs owned huge herds of cattle.
