Genesis 47:2 in Context — Genesis 47

1 Joseph alla avertir Pharaon, et lui dit: Mes frères et mon père sont arrivés du pays de Canaan, avec leurs brebis et leurs bœufs, et tout ce qui leur appartient; et les voici dans le pays de Gosen.

2 Il prit cinq de ses frères, et les présenta à Pharaon.

3 Pharaon leur dit: Quelle est votre occupation? Ils répondirent à Pharaon: Tes serviteurs sont bergers, comme l’étaient nos pères.

4 Ils dirent encore à Pharaon: Nous sommes venus pour séjourner dans le pays, parce qu’il n’y a plus de pâturage pour les brebis de tes serviteurs, car la famine s’appesantit sur le pays de Canaan; permets donc à tes serviteurs d’habiter au pays de Gosen.
