Genesis 46:32-34

Holman Christian Standard Bible

³² The men are shepherds; they also raise livestock. They have brought their sheep and cattle and all that they have. ³³ When Pharaoh addresses you and asks, ‘What is your occupation?’ ³⁴ you are to say, ‘Your servants, both we and our fathers, have raised livestock^[a] from our youth until now.’ Then you will be allowed to settle in the land of Goshen, since all shepherds are abhorrent to Egyptians.”^(A)
