And he sent Judah before him unto Joseph, to show the way before him unto Goshen; and they came into the land of Goshen.
29
And Joseph made ready his chariot, and went up to meet Israel his father, to Goshen; and he presented himself unto him, and fell on his neck, and wept on his neck a good while.
30
And Israel said unto Joseph: 'Now let me die, since I have seen thy face, that thou art yet alive.'
31
And Joseph said unto his brethren, and unto his father's house: 'I will go up, and tell Pharaoh, and will say unto him: My brethren, and my father's house, who were in the land of Canaan, are come unto me;
32
and the men are shepherds, for they have been keepers of 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 have been keepers of cattle from our youth even until now, both we, and our fathers; that ye may dwell in the land of Goshen; for every shepherd is an abomination unto the Egyptians.'
