Genesis 46:31-34

31JosephH3130 saidH559 to his brothersH251 and to his father’sH1 householdH1004, “1I will goH5927 up and tellH5046 PharaohH6547, and will sayH559 to him, ‘My brothersH251 and my father’sH1 householdH1004, whoH834 were in the landH776 of CanaanH3667, have comeH935 to me;

32and the menH376 are shepherdsH7462, for they have beenH1961 2keepersH376 of livestockH4735; and they have broughtH935 their flocksH6629 and their herdsH1241 and allH3605 that they have.’

33WhenH3588 PharaohH6547 callsH7121 you and saysH559, ‘3WhatH4100 is your occupationH4639?’

34you shall sayH559, ‘Your servantsH5650 have beenH1961 45keepersH376 of livestockH4735 from our youthH5271 even untilH5704 nowH6258, bothH1571 we and our fathersH1,’ that you may 6liveH3427 in the landH776 of 7GoshenH1657; for everyH3605 shepherdH7462 is 89loathsomeH8441 to the EgyptiansH4714.”
