King James Version
Genesis 46:31-34
King James Version
31 And Joseph said unto his brethren, and unto his father's house, I will go up, and shew Pharaoh, and say unto him, My brethren, and my father's house, which were in the land of Canaan, are come unto me;
32 And the men are shepherds, for their trade hath been to feed cattle; and they have brought their flocks, and their herds, and all that they have.
33 And it shall come to pass, when Pharaoh shall call you, and shall say, What is your occupation?
34 That ye shall say, Thy servants' trade 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 unto the Egyptians.

31 Then Joseph said to his brothers and to his father’s household, “I will go up and speak to Pharaoh and will say to him, ‘My brothers and my father’s household, who were living in the land of Canaan,(A) have come to me.(B) 32 The men are shepherds;(C) they tend livestock,(D) and they have brought along their flocks and herds and everything they own.’(E) 33 When Pharaoh calls you in and asks, ‘What is your occupation?’(F) 34 you should answer, ‘Your servants(G) have tended livestock from our boyhood on, just as our fathers did.’(H) Then you will be allowed to settle(I) in the region of Goshen,(J) for all shepherds are detestable to the Egyptians.(K)”
