' It }had been agreed, on Joseph's suggestion, that they would tell Phar- oah that they -were shepherds •-- and • Je eph kr;e+w that Pharoah would send the }whale dangly t'a 'lan'd of Ce•-s'hen bo 'b'e she'ph'erds far the Egyp- tiansl—and they Would not need to Mix with the Eb,yptclaiva at all.. Joseph" went to Pharoah's (palace the. . next' day and told Pharoah, "My tfather, and my brothers, 'wilth t'he'ir flecks and herds and all they po'ss'ess, !have arrived f'ro'm Canaan, and are in the land of •Go'shenr"' Joseph had taken five of his brothersalong with ;him and presenteof them to Pharoah, who asked thea!, "What is pour oc- eupat!lon'?" And they answered, ."Thy' servants are shepherds; ' We have come t•o stay in thy co'un'try for tt'here is rlo fend nor fodder flor our flocks' in our own country. Pray', hen, a'li ' thy servants to remain .in thy '''eouritry." Pharoah. was 'perfectly willing. He •'would db anp'thlirg for Joseph's ,peo- tp'Sa. So he toi!d them to stay as long as they wished in the best 'pasture lands in Egypt -=in the land of Gosh- en. And, appa'rentl'y, as an 'ailtere 'thought, he asked if they would look after Pharcralh's cattle and •slheep,.tao. Of course they would -so it was" ar- ranged, Then Pharoah -called J1o'seph to his own private office to inquire after Joseph's father. Why wouldn't the :Phaa'c:ah-vire:?! ••to-anreetehiseprinse-ex in— de'ter's father? It was all planned in detail when Ieraei would come to visit Pharoah. • J'oslep'h !sent his ehal}iot over to the lard of 'Goshen for his father..

It. alindst took his breath away, but ha•'was getting us- ed t'a this fast Egyptian life, and he . was soon at Pharos+h's palace Joseph tier* him in and .presented }hats to Pharoah: P+ha'rcah had a kindly feeling to - .'ward J! etch ark' Joseph's people, so •it was riot iral that he was• friendly to Joseph's father. Israe'1 did not 'bo'w down. before Phar'aah}—everybody was supposed to 'da sci—•but I'smaed limped np the steps and s•alutedl—that was all.
