Genesis 46:32-34
New International Version
32 The men are shepherds;(A) they tend livestock,(B) and they have brought along their flocks and herds and everything they own.’(C) 33 When Pharaoh calls you in and asks, ‘What is your occupation?’(D) 34 you should answer, ‘Your servants(E) have tended livestock from our boyhood on, just as our fathers did.’(F) Then you will be allowed to settle(G) in the region of Goshen,(H) for all shepherds are detestable to the Egyptians.(I)”
Genesis 46:32-34
New American Standard Bible
32 and the men are shepherds, for they have been [a]keepers of livestock; and they have brought their flocks and their herds and all that they have.’ 33 When Pharaoh calls for you and says, ‘(A)What is your occupation?’ 34 you shall say, ‘Your servants have been [b](B)keepers of livestock since our youth even until now, both we and our fathers,’ so that you may live in the land of (C)Goshen; for every shepherd is an (D)abomination to the Egyptians.”
