Genesis 46:28-34

28Now Jacob had sent Judah ahead of him to Joseph to prepare for his arrival at Goshen. When they came to the land of Goshen,

29Joseph hitched the horses to his chariot and went up to Goshen to meet his father Israel. Joseph presented himself to him, threw his arms around him, and wept for a long time.

30Then Israel said to Joseph, “I’m ready to die now because I have seen your face and you are still alive!”

31Joseph said to his brothers and to his father’s family, “I will go up and inform Pharaoh, telling him, ‘My brothers and my father’s family, who were in the land of Canaan, have come to me.

32The men are shepherds; they also raise livestock. They have brought their flocks and herds and all that they have.’

33When Pharaoh addresses you and asks, ‘What is your occupation?’

34you are to say, ‘Your servants, both we and our ancestors, have raised livestock from our youth until now.’ Then you will be allowed to settle in the land of Goshen, since all shepherds are detestable to Egyptians.”
