Genesis 47:2 in Context — Genesis 47
1 E José veio, e fez saber a Faraó, e disse: Meu pai e meus irmãos, e suas ovelhas e suas vacas, com tudo o que têm, vieram da terra de Canaã, e eis que, estão na terra de Gósen.
2 E dentre seus irmãos tomou cinco homens, e os apresentou diante de Faraó.
3 E Faraó disse a seus irmãos: Qual é vosso ofício? E eles responderam a Faraó: Pastores de ovelhas são teus servos, tanto nós como nossos pais.
4 Disseram ademais a Faraó: Por morar nesta terra viemos; porque não há pasto para as ovelhas de teus servos, pois a fome é grave na terra de Canaã: portanto, te rogamos agora que habitem teus servos na terra de Gósen.
