Context — Jacob Settles in Goshen
1So Joseph went and told Pharaoh: “My father and my brothers, with their flocks and herds and all they own, have come from the land of Canaan and are now in Goshen.”
2And he chose five of his brothers and presented them before Pharaoh.
3“What is your occupation?” Pharaoh asked Joseph’s brothers. “Your servants are shepherds,” they replied, “both we and our fathers.”
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,Cross References

Genesis 47:3 Summary
[In this verse, Pharaoh asks Joseph's brothers about their occupation, and they honestly reply that they are shepherds, just like their fathers. This shows their humility and willingness to be transparent about who they are and what they do. As seen in Genesis 47:3, this conversation is an important part of the story of Joseph and his family, and it teaches us about the importance of honesty and humility in our interactions with others (Proverbs 22:1). By being honest and humble, we can build trust with others and create opportunities for God to work in our lives, just like He did in the life of Joseph.]
Frequently Asked Questions
Why did Pharaoh ask Joseph's brothers about their occupation?
Pharaoh asked Joseph's brothers about their occupation to understand their skills and how they could contribute to Egyptian society, as seen in Genesis 47:3. This question also shows Pharaoh's interest in utilizing their skills for the benefit of Egypt, similar to how Joseph's skills were utilized in Genesis 41:33-40.
What significance does the brothers' response hold in the context of the story?
The brothers' response, 'Your servants are shepherds, both we and our fathers,' highlights their humility and honesty, as they acknowledge their profession and their family's heritage, which is also seen in their father Jacob's introduction in Genesis 46:34.
How does this verse relate to the broader theme of God's providence in the story of Joseph?
This verse demonstrates God's providence in Joseph's life, as Joseph's brothers are brought before Pharaoh, and their occupation as shepherds is revealed, ultimately leading to their settlement in Goshen, as part of God's plan to preserve the family of Jacob, as seen in Genesis 45:5-7 and Genesis 50:20.
What can we learn from the brothers' simple and honest response to Pharaoh's question?
The brothers' response teaches us the importance of humility and honesty in our interactions with others, as seen in Proverbs 22:1, which says, 'A good name is to be more desired than rich treasure, favor is better than silver and gold.'
Reflection Questions
- What are some ways I can apply the principle of humility, as seen in Joseph's brothers, in my own life and interactions with others?
- How can I trust in God's providence, like Joseph, even when circumstances seem uncertain or challenging?
- In what ways can I be honest and transparent about my occupation, skills, and family heritage, like Joseph's brothers, and how can this impact my relationships with others?
- What are some lessons I can learn from the way Pharaoh interacts with Joseph's brothers, and how can I apply these lessons in my own leadership or interactions with others?

And Pharaoh said unto his brethren, What is your occupation? And they said unto Pharaoh, Thy servants are shepherds, both we, and also our fathers. No JFB commentary on this verse.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Genesis 47:3
This employment is not pretended nor taken up by us in design, or in contempt of thee or thy people, but was handed to us by our fathers, and hath been our business to this day.
Trapp's Commentary on Genesis 47:3
Genesis 47:3 And Pharaoh said unto his brethren, What [is] your occupation? And they said unto Pharaoh, Thy servants [are] shepherds, both we, [and] also our fathers.Ver. 3. What is your occupation?] That they had an occupation Pharaoh took for granted. God made Leviathan to play in the sea; but none to do so upon earth. Turks and Pagans will rise up in judgment against the idle. Periander made a law at Corinth, that whosoever could not prove that he lived by his honest labour, he should suffer as a thief. The apostle bids "him that stole steal no more, but labour with his hands the thing that is good," &c. Not to labour, then, with hand, or head, or both, is to steal. Every one must bring some honey into the common hive, unless he will be cast out as a drone. "Thou idle and evil servant," saith our Saviour.
To be idle, then, is to be evil; and he shall not but do naughtily that does nothing. God wills that men should earn their bread afore they eat it, neither may they make religion a mask for idleness. Ignavum fucos pecus, &c.
Ellicott's Commentary on Genesis 47:3
(3) Also our fathers.—Joseph had instructed them to add this (Genesis 46:34), because occupations were hereditary among the Egyptians, and thus Pharaoh would conclude that in their case also no change was possible in their mode of life.
Cambridge Bible on Genesis 47:3
3. And Pharaoh said] Pharaoh’s question and the men’s answer follow the outline given by Joseph in Genesis 46:34, but, instead of saying, “thy servants have been keepers of cattle,” they say, “thy servants are shepherds.”
Whedon's Commentary on Genesis 47:3
TO PHARAOH, AND IN EGYPT, Genesis 47:1-12. 1-3. They said unto Pharaoh, Thy servants are shepherds — “The Egyptian monuments abundantly illustrate the hatred and contempt which the ruling castes felt towards the shepherds.
