Gen 47:5-6 Then Pharaoh spoke to Joseph, saying, “Your father and your brothers have come to you. The land of Egypt is before you. Have your father and brothers dwell in the best of the land; let them dwell in the land of Goshen. And if you know any competent men among them, then make them chief herdsmen over my livestock”.
Israel and his children were shepherds and had moved from Canaan to Egypt during the great famine.
All the land of Egypt belonged to Pharaoh and Goshen was the best of the land because it is located at the mouth of River Nile. Therefore there was plenty of water for livestock and for farming.
For the Israelites to thrive,they lived in the most productive part of the land. God the Father owns the whole earth and has given us the best land where we will thrive and prosper. Silver and gold belongs to him . A thousand cattle on a thousand hills belongs to him. He has kept the best for his children. He will give good things to those who ask him. He is the King of kings and Lord of lords
Mat 7:9-11 “Or what man is there among you who, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone? “Or if he asks for a fish, will he give him a serpent? “If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask Him!
