Genesis 46:28-34
1599 Geneva Bible
28 ¶ Then he sent Judah before him unto Joseph, to [a]direct his way unto Goshen, and they came into the land of Goshen.
29 Then Joseph [b]made ready his chariot, and went up to Goshen to meet Israel his father, and presented himself unto him, and fell on his neck and wept upon his neck a [c]good while.
30 And Israel said unto Joseph, Now let me die since I have seen thy face, and that thou art yet alive.
31 Then Joseph said to his brethren, and to his father’s house, I will go up and show Pharaoh, and tell him, My brethren and my father’s house, which were in the land of Canaan, are come unto me.
32 And the men are [d]sheepherders, and because they are sheepherders, they have brought their sheep and their cattle, and all that they have.
33 And if Pharaoh call you, and ask you, What is your trade?
34 That ye shall say, Thy servants are men occupied about cattle, from our childhood even unto this time, both we and our fathers: that ye may dwell in the land of Goshen: for every sheep keeper is an [e]abomination unto the Egyptians.
