Genesis 47:4

Thomson 1808
Moreover they said to Pharao, We are come to sojourn in this land, because there is no pasture for thy servants’ cattle, for the famine hath been great in the land of Chanaan. Now therefore let us sojourn in the land of Gesem. And Pharao said to Joseph, Let them dwell in the land of Gesem; and if thou knowest any men of ability among them, make them overseers of my cattle.
Brenton 1851
And they said to Pharao, We are come to sojourn in the land, for there is no pasture for the flocks of thy servants, for the famine has prevailed in the land of Chanaan; now then, we will dwell in the land of Gesem. And Pharao said to Joseph, Let them dwell in the land of Gesem; and if thou knowest that there are among them able men, make them overseers of my cattle. So Jacob and his sons came into Egypt, to Joseph; and Pharao, king of Egypt, heard of it.

Εἶπαν δὲ τῷ Φαραῷ, παροικεῖν ἐν τῇ γῇ ἥκαμεν, οὐ γάρ ἐστι νομὴ τοῖς κτήνεσι τῶν παιδων σου, ἐνίσχυσε γὰρ ὁ λιμὸς ἐν γῇ Χανάαν· νῦν οὖν κατοικήσομεν ἐν γῇ Γεσέμ. Εἶπε δὲ Φαραὼ τῷ Ἰωσὴφ, Κατοικείτωσαν ἐν γῇ Γεσέμ· εἰ δὲ ἐπίστῃ, ὅτι εἰσὶν ἐν αὐτοῖς ἄνδρες δυνατοὶ, κατάστησον αὐτοὺς ἄρχοντας τῶν ἐμῶν κτηνῶν. Ἦλθον δὲ εἰς Αἴγυπτον πρὸς Ἰωσὴφ Ἰακὼβ, καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ αὐτοῦ· καὶ ἤκουσε Φαραὼ βασιλεὺς Αἰγύπτου.
