Jacob had arrived in Egypt and was met with the royal procession led by Joseph to give them the best welcome imaginable. Joseph approached Pharaoh to let him know that his brothers had returned with his father to immigrate to Egypt. It was Pharaoh that had extended the invitation so it was only proper that Joseph announced their arrival to him upon their arrival. He let Pharaoh know that they had arrived along with their flocks and herds as well as their possessions. Joseph told him that according to plan they are now in Goshen. Pharaoh was probably in Memphis. Joseph then selected five of the brothers to represent the entire family and presented them to Pharaoh. Just as Joseph had anticipated Pharaoh asked them what their occupations were. This was a question that would give Pharaoh some insight as to their ability to earn a living in Egypt. He would not want a family coming into the countries that were not able to provide for themselves. They did not respond as Joseph had instructed them to reply to his question. Joseph told them to use the term cattle not shepherds. They ignored Joseph’s instructions and told Pharaoh that they were shepherds and have always been shepherds.
