Genesis 46:28-34

28And he sent Judah before him to Joseph, to direct his face to Goshen; and they came into the land of Goshen. 29And Joseph made ready his chariot, and went to meet Israel his father, to Goshen, and presented himself to him; and he fell on his neck, and wept on his neck a good while. 30And Israel said to Joseph, Now let me die, since I have seen thy face, because thou art yet alive. 31And Joseph said to his brethren, and to his father’s house, I will go up, and show Pharaoh, and say to him, My brethren, and my father’s house, who were in the land of Canaan, are come to me; 32And the men are shepherds, for their occupation hath been to feed cattle; and they have brought their flocks, and their herds, and all that they have.1 33And it shall come to pass, when Pharaoh shall call you, and shall say, What is your occupation? 34That ye shall say, The occupation of thy servants hath been about cattle from our youth even until now, both we, and also our fathers: that ye may dwell in the land of Goshen; for every shepherd is an abomination to the Egyptians.
