Genesis 46:32-34

Revised Geneva Translation

³² ‘And the men are shepherds, but their occupation has been to feed livestock. So, they have brought their flocks and herds and all that they have.’

³³ “And if Pharaoh calls on you, and asks you, ‘What is your trade?’

³⁴ you shall say, ‘Your servants are men occupied with livestock, from our childhood even to this time (both we and our fathers),’ so that you may dwell in the land of Goshen. For every sheepherder is an abomination to the Egyptians!”
