Genesis 46:31-34
31And JosephH3130 saidH559 unto his brethrenH251, and unto his father’sH1 houseH1004, I will go upH5927, and shewH5046 PharaohH6547, and sayH559 unto him, My brethrenH251, and my father’sH1 houseH1004, which were in the landH776 of CanaanH3667, are comeH935 unto me;
32And the menH582 are shepherdsH6629H7462, for their trade hath been to feed cattleH4735; and they have broughtH935 their flocksH6629, and their herdsH1241, and all that they have.1
33And it shall come to pass, when PharaohH6547 shall callH7121 you, and shall sayH559, What is your occupationH4639?
34That ye shall sayH559, Thy servants’H5650 tradeH582 hath been about cattleH4735 from our youthH5271 even until now, both we, and also our fathersH1: that ye may dwellH3427 in the landH776 of GoshenH1657; for every shepherdH6629H7462 is an abominationH8441 unto the EgyptiansH4714.
