Goshen is mentioned in the Old Testament as a place where Joseph went. (Joseph the son of Jacob, of course; not Joseph of Mary and Joseph, who came much later.)

Where did the word gosh originate?
Like "Oh my gosh?". People say it instead of "Oh my God"The word gosh is actually from the name of a land called Goshen. When people would say expressions out of anger like, "my word", "my land", or "for the land's sake". Sometimes they would say, "by Goshen" meaning the actual land of Goshen. Gosh was used as a short term for Goshen back then. Over time it slowly went from short term for Goshen, to a so-called polite way to say God in vain, which wasn't intentionally the true meaning.

What did Moses do in the city of Goshen?
The land of Goshen is identified as the area inhabited by the Israelites in Egypt (for example Exodus 8:22 and 9:26), and was not portrayed as a city. Goshen has never been localised with certainty but most scholars assume that it was in the eastern Nile Delta. However, the word Goshen does not occur in any Egyptian texts and efforts to derive it from the Egyptian language are unconvincing. It is likely that the biblical word 'Goshen' came from outside Egypt. There is no particular biblical event that involves Moses in Goshen.
