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.”

Ge 13:9; Ge 20:15; Ge 34:10; Ge 45:18-20; Ge 47:4,11; Ge 47:11; Ge 47:16; Ex 9:3-6,10,21; Ex 18:21; 1Sa 21:7; 1Ch 27:29-31; 2Ch 26:10; Pr 21:1; Pr 22:29; Joh 17:2

¹ tn Heb “men of skill.”

² tn Heb “make them rulers.”

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.
