Genesis 47:12

Jacob Settles In Goshen

¹¹ Joseph settled his father and brothers, assigning them their own land in the best part of Egypt (in the territory of Rameses), just as Pharaoh had ordered. ¹² Joseph provided food for his father, his brothers, and all of his father's household, proportionate to the number of young children. ¹³ Meanwhile, there continued to be no food throughout the land, because the famine remained very severe. As a result, both Egypt and Canaan languished under the effects of the famine.
