"Pharaoh said to Joseph:" Your father and his brothers have therefore come to you. Well, the land of Egypt is at your disposal: let your father and your brothers reside in the best part of the country.
They also reside in the country of Goshen. If you know that there are capable men among them, appoint them over my possessions as superintendents of the cattle."
Joseph then introduced Jacob, his father, and presented him to Pharaoh and Jacob blessed Pharaoh.
