Genesis 47:27
Now the Israelites settled in Egypt in the region of Goshen. They acquired property there and were fruitful and increased greatly in number.
Goshen is where the Israelites lived while in Egypt. They were here from the time of Joseph until Moses led the exodus to the promised land. It is mentioned 14 times in Genesis.
Goshen Oregon is a community that has a little over 1,000 residents. It rests just to the southwest of Mt Pisgah at the junctions of Interstate 5, Oregon Highway 99, and Highway 58. The Goshen post office was established in 1874. Today, Goshen no longer has its own post office and looks mostly like an industrial area as you pass by on the freeway or highway.
