Jacob Settles in Goshen

²⁸ Then he sent Judah before him to Joseph, ^(A)to point out before him the way to Goshen. And they came ^(B)to the land of Goshen. ²⁹ So Joseph made ready his ^(C)chariot and went up to Goshen to meet his father Israel; and he presented himself to him, and ^(D)fell on his neck and wept on his neck a good while.

³⁰ And Israel said to Joseph, ^(E)“Now let me die, since I have seen your face, because you are still alive.”

³¹ Then Joseph said to his brothers and to his father’s household, ^(F)“I will go up and tell Pharaoh, and say to him, ‘My brothers and those of my father’s house, who were in the land of Canaan, have come to me. ³² And the men are ^(G)shepherds, for their occupation has been to feed livestock; and they have brought their flocks, their herds, and all that they have.’ ³³ So it shall be, when Pharaoh calls you and says, ^(H)‘What is your occupation?’ ³⁴ that you shall say, ‘Your servants’ ^(I)occupation has been with livestock ^(J)from our youth even till now, both we and also our fathers,’ that you may dwell in the land of Goshen; for every shepherd is ^(K)an^[a] abomination to the Egyptians.”
