Genesis 46:32-34

English Standard Version

^32 (A)And the men are shepherds, for they have been keepers of livestock, and they have brought their flocks and their herds and all that they have.’ ³³ When Pharaoh calls you and says, ^(B)‘What is your occupation?’ ³⁴ you shall say, ^(C)‘Your servants have been keepers of livestock ^(D)from our youth even until now, both we and our fathers,’ in order that you may dwell ^(E)in the land of Goshen, for every shepherd is ^(F)an abomination to the Egyptians.”
