Genesis 46:28-34 - Jacob Arrives In Egypt

²⁸ Now he had sent Judah before him to Goshen, to get word from Joseph; and so they came to the land of Goshen. ²⁹ And Joseph got his carriage ready and went to Goshen for the meeting with his father; and when he came before him, he put his arms round his neck, weeping.

³⁰ And Israel said to Joseph, Now that I have seen you living again, I am ready for death.

³¹ And Joseph said to his brothers and to his father's people, I will go and give the news to Pharaoh, and say to him, My brothers and my father's people, from the land of Canaan, have come to me; ³² And these men are keepers of sheep and owners of cattle, and have with them their flocks and their herds and all they have. ³³ Now when Pharaoh sends for you and says, What is your business? ³⁴ You are to say, Your servants have been keepers of cattle from our early days up to now, like our fathers; in this way you will be able to have the land of Goshen for yourselves; because keepers of sheep are unclean in the eyes of the Egyptians.
