Goshen is the place where Jacob and his family moved to from Canaan when they went to Egypt to join Joesph. This area was a very fertile section of Egypt, excellent for grazing of animals and certain types of Agriculture, which was very well suited to the family as they were shepherds and farmers. This section of Egypt did not suit Pharaoh as it was a far distance from the River Nile.

Why did the children of israel live in the land of Goshen?

The children of Israel lived in the land of Goshen primarily because it was a fertile region in Egypt that provided them with ample resources for farming and herding. Pharaoh invited them to settle there during a time of famine, as Joseph, one of the sons of Jacob, had risen to power and could ensure their survival. Additionally, Goshen was relatively isolated from the Egyptians, allowing the Israelites to maintain their cultural and religious practices. This choice ultimately set the stage for their later oppression and the Exodus narrative.
