Genesis 46:31-34

31But Joseph said to his brothers and to his father’s household, “1I will go up and tell Pharaoh, and will say to him, ‘My brothers and my father’s household, who were in the land of Canaan, have come to me;

32and the men are shepherds, for they have been 2keepers of livestock; and they have brought their flocks and their herds and all that they have.’

33When Pharaoh calls for you and says, ‘3What is your occupation?’

34you shall say, ‘Your servants have been 45keepers of livestock since our youth even until now, both we and our fathers,’ so that you may live in the land of 6Goshen; for every shepherd is an 7abomination to the Egyptians.”
