4 Dijeron además á Faraón: Por morar en esta tierra hemos venido; porque no hay pasto para las ovejas de tus siervos, pues el hambre es grave en la tierra de Canaán: por tanto, te rogamos ahora que habiten tus siervos en la tierra de Gosén.
5 Entonces Faraón habló á José, diciendo: Tu padre y tus hermanos han venido á ti;
6 La tierra de Egipto delante de ti está; en lo mejor de la tierra haz habitar á tu padre y á tus hermanos; habiten en la tierra de Gosén; y si entiendes que hay entre ellos hombres eficaces, ponlos por mayorales del ganado mío.
7 Y José introdujo á su padre, y presentólo delante de Faraón; y Jacob bendijo á Faraón.
8 Y dijo Faraón á Jacob: ¿Cuántos son los días de los años de tu vida?
