Genesis 46:28-34
28Now Jacob sentH7971 JudahH3063 aheadH6440 of him to JosephH3130, to 1guideH3384 him to 2GoshenH1657; and they cameH935 into the landH776 of GoshenH1657.
29And JosephH3130 3preparedH631 his chariotH4818 and wentH5927 upH5927 to GoshenH1657 to meetH7122 his fatherH1 IsraelH3478; as soon as he appearedH7200 toH413 him, Joseph threwH5307 himself on his neckH6677 and 4weptH1058 on his neckH6677 a longH5750 timeH5750.
30Then IsraelH3478 saidH559 to JosephH3130, “NowH6471 let me dieH4191, sinceH310 I have seenH7200 your faceH6440, that you are stillH5750 aliveH2416.”
31But JosephH3130 saidH559 to his brothersH251 and to his father’sH1 householdH1004, “5I will goH5927 upH5927 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 6keepersH376 of livestockH4735; and they have broughtH935 their flocksH6629 and their herdsH1241 and allH3605 that they have.’
33WhenH3588 PharaohH6547 callsH7121 for you and saysH559, ‘7WhatH4100 is your occupationH4639?’
34you shall sayH559, ‘Your servantsH5650 have beenH1961 89keepersH376 of livestockH4735 sinceH4480 our youthH5271 even untilH5704 nowH6258, bothH1571 we and our fathersH1,’ soH5668 thatH5668 you may liveH3427 in the landH776 of 10GoshenH1657; for everyH3605 shepherdH7462 is an 11abominationH8441 to the EgyptiansH4714.”
