Jacob Settles in Goshen

⁴Then they said to Pharaoh, “We have come to live in the land for a time, because there is no pasture for the flocks of your servants, since the famine in the land of Canaan has been severe. So now, please allow your servants to settle in the land of Goshen.”⁵Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Now that your father and brothers have come to you,⁶the land of Egypt is before you; settle your father and brothers in the best part of the land. They may dwell in the land of Goshen. And if you know of any talented men among them, put them in charge of my own livestock.”

Summary

In this verse, Pharaoh instructs Joseph to settle his family in the best part of the land of Egypt, the region of Goshen. This act of generosity towards Joseph's family demonstrates the favor and blessing that God has bestowed upon Joseph. It also fulfills the promise made to Abraham that his descendants would be given a land of their own. The settling of Jacob's family in Goshen not only provides for their physical needs but also sets the stage for the fulfillment of God's plan to make them into a great nation.
