Genesis 46:31-34

Jacob and Joseph Reunited

³¹ Joseph said to his brothers and to his father's household, _l "I will go up and tell Pharaoh and will say to him, 'My brothers and my father's household, who were in the land of Canaan, have come to me. ³² _m And the men are shepherds, for they have been keepers of livestock, and they have brought their flocks and their herds and all that they have.' ³³ When Pharaoh calls you and says, _m 'What is your occupation?' ³⁴ you shall say, _m 'Your servants have been keepers of livestock _n from our youth even until now, both we and our fathers,' in order that you may dwell _o in the land of Goshen, for every shepherd is _p an abomination to the Egyptians."
