Genesis 46:31-34

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.”
