Genesis 46:28-34

28Now he sent Judah before him to Joseph to show him the way to Goshen. When they came to the land of Goshen,

29Joseph harnessed his chariot and went up to Goshen to meet his father Israel. As soon as he appeared before him, he fell upon his neck, and wept on his neck for some time.

30Then Israel said to Joseph, “At this time I am ready to die, after seeing your face in person—for you’re still alive!”

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

32The men are shepherds, for they’ve been men who handle livestock, who have brought their flocks and cattle and everything that they possess.’

33So when Pharaoh calls you and says, ‘What is your occupation?’

34you must say, ‘Your servants have been men who handle livestock since the time of our youth until now, both we and our fathers,’ so that you can live in the land of Goshen, because every shepherd is loathsome to the Egyptians.”
